A lot of three letter names showed up. It's a humorous acronym as well.
8 characters seems to be popular as well.
Unless you get a job as a professional forum poster.Damn unemployment. I know my post level will return to its norm if I ever find another job.
Put in a good word with arn for me.
My member number (100314) includes the first 3 digits of pi
For Doctor Q, that was better than porn.
@rdowns: Are you really unemployed?
Yes.
Nicely done as ever Doctor Q especially as I understand you've been very busy lately working on another project...
snip...Yes.
Sorry to hear that. I know how you feel, since I went through that in 2000-2001 for over a year. Just a terrible feeling to go through and I never thought that could happen to me. Anyway, hopefully things are turning around. My wife is unemployed at the moment, as well.
I've been here since May last year and It has often crossed my mind about how mad jew never shows up anymore. Can someone enlighten me on what happened to him/her?
Did you know that π³ = 1000?
It is in base π!
He didn't put out a press release but rumors are he's still around, out there in the real world. He was always helpful to other users in the forums so it's a good bet that he's still doing good things for people.
Boggles the mind...
Likewise. Really appreciate the time he takes to create the stats.Indeed.
Snort! Another name change.When you get to the top. we're going to start calling your -naggie-.
...lot of sand out there ... lot of sand out there ...
I think I should be pleased to have avoided the Top 50 Spammers list, albeit only just. Just as well the PRSI Forum doesn't count...
If only PRSI posts counted.
I wonder how many posts I would have if I didn't multi-quote. I have too many as it is.
...and here I sit posting again.
Well first he had a personal issue of sorts. He may have said this out here in a random post, but I don't know for sure, so I won't be specific. After that, he came back, posted a few times, and never came back. Right now, I hope he hasn't come back because he got sick of the place. If that's not the reason, then it'll be something bad.
I don't know him personally, although I may still have a way to contact him personally. To be fair though, if you suddenly stopped posting here, we'd never know the reason for this either, not unless someone here is friends with you in real life.
Here's a chart showing jessica.'s post count total over time.
The first segment is shown as a long straight line because I don't have data prior to mid-2008, when she had enough posts to show up in the posting stat data.
The last segment is the extrapolation, using the posting rate she's had for the last 6 months to predict her post count 6 months from now on.
This demonstrates how my computations work for most members in the Top Poster charts. Notice that I do a linear extension of the last known data rather than using quadratics based on the change in slope over time.
