Top 50 Posters Extrapolated, January 2007

[Lord Blackadder]

I post in waves - over the summer I'm doing fieldwork and rarely post...during the winter (especially during breaks in seminars) I post often, too much in fact.

I doubt I'll ever be in the top 50, I can't type that fast.

Tacky...

Wow sitting here in my tight white boxer-breifs, drinking Caffeine free Pepsi...that made me laugh a lot more then it should have.

At least she didn't suggest making it a sticky thread. Whew!

 

[IJ Reilly]

You don't have a glue.

Tacky...

I'll try to ignore these cracks.

 

[TheAnswer]

Good for you, don't let them start any viscous rumors!

 

[MacNut]

Good for you, don't let them start any viscous rumors!

Ya what do you think this is the Political Forum.

 

[IJ Reilly]

They'll have to mend their ways.

Dang, not on the list yet. I'll have to try harder.

You've got a long way to go my friend. Perhaps I'll change my Location to: "The first 15,000 posts were just the beginning..."

 

[mattscott306]

You did have a three year head start my friend...

Wow... what a bastard!

 

[MacNut]

At the moment 6,105 is the top 50.

 

[PlaceofDis]

At the moment 6,105 is the top 50.

and nearly 13k to be in the top 10

thats quite a jump.

Double that if you'd like to be in first place. It's a very wide gap between 50 and 1.

 

[~Shard~]

Wow... what a bastard!

Why thank you!

 

[SkyBell]

I'm not top 100.... and if you check until yesterday my posts over the past few weeks have been around 5-6 a day...

Yeah, but in 6 months, you've gotten 3000 posts or so.

Keep up that rate you'll be there in no time.

 

[~Shard~]

Excellent observation Cassie! And don't forget the 22.5 posts per day average either...

 

[mattscott306]

Aye, I won't deny the high post rate, but it has fallen 1.3 PPD over the past few weeks. And will likely continue to fall over the next few months. I'll honestly be surprised to see myself in the top fifty any time soon.

Who knows though?

One things for sure, I think Captain Bastard is in the top fifty to stay.

 

[~Shard~]

As you know, I was just buggin' ya...

And yes, I think my spot in the Top 50 should be safe for a few years to come...

In slow motion, of course, so we could actually see the fingers furiously typing, rather than just a blur of motion over the keyboard.

Yeah, now that I think about it, MJ would probably look like he is not moving because he would be moving/posting so fast!

You've got a long way to go my friend. Perhaps I'll change my Location to: "The first 15,000 posts were just the beginning..."

Wow... what a bastard!

I must admit that another name came to my mind!

Then again, I would expect nothing less from ~Shard~!

 

[PlaceofDis]

3000 in six months isn't terribly hard. 500 a month, 17 or so a day. i know i've made nearly 4000 at one point in six months.

 

[rdowns]

I can't fathom posting at that rate, I'm just too busy.

This made me look at my post count and I am approaching 5,000. I didn't think I was anywhere near that.

 

[emw]

500 a month, 17 or so a day.

Maintaining that over the long haul, though - say 2 years or more - is much more difficult. But not impossible, obviously. There are periods of time when I'll post 100 or so times in a week, but then in a subsequent week not post at all.

 

[gkarris]

Oh, I thought this was posters, not Posters.

You know, like I would've thought the top one is "Uncle Sam Wants YOU!" and maybe the original Star Wars Movie poster...

 

[emw]

Oh, I thought this was posters, not Posters.

Well, that would definitely complicate the extrapolation process for Doctor Q. While it's relatively simple to predict movies - they'll almost certainly be either (1) remakes of 80's television shows, (2) remakes of previous movies, or (3) sequels to present movies - it would be difficult to predict which movie would have the best poster.

But my bet would be on the 2018 movie "McGarrett, P.I." based loosely on both "Hawaii 5-0" and "Magnum, P.I." Oddly enough, Haley Joel Osment will play the lead role.
