Thank you very much!

I had rather suspected that the user profile of the forum could be expressed visually as a very 'flat' triangle with the vast majority of posts by far clocking in at well under five posts. Fascinating.

Anyone with a four-digit user number who is still posting impresses me!

(Vilacr is user number 3953.)

How about 5 digit users.

How about 5 digit users.

If we give importance to the lengths of user numbers, then you and other 5-digit users are in the top 10%, while 4-digit users are in the top 1%.

Here's the breakdown, and the dates by which you had to join to achieve these user number lengths. The percentages get gradually smaller over time.

Fascinating. Genuinely very interesting.

And, is there - perchance - a similarly fascinating pie chart to indicate what percentage of members fall into the various 'post count' categories?

I don't have a current one, but GGJstudios posted a link to a table with a previous snapshot of the data.

I think she meant broken down by user number digit count.

Yes, that is what I think I meant (though I didn't express it terribly well, I'm afraid). 'User Number Digit Count' - what an elegant expression of mathematical precision.
