Are you worried about the stats coming to an end?

Does your world turn dull or dreary without semi-annual graphs, tables, color commentary, and what-not?

There is Now Hope!! (not "A New Hope", because that's already been done)


When this very thread was started, I posted that I'd be willing to look at continuing the stats after Doctor Q's après-penultimate thread. A few of my posts herein:

The latter one has an upvote from @annk, which I take as a hint that help from Administrators may be forthcoming, if needed (plying with refined beverages optional, one surmises).

It would be fun to see what somebody else comes up with. I'll do the stats again in January 2018, and after that somebody else is welcome to contact me if they want to continue the project.

Based on my earlier posts, the Doctor PM'ed me on Wed asking if I'm still interested.
My reply was:
Sure.

I can look at it in a week or so.​

This still holds. I'm still interested in doing the stats, and I can still take time to look at whatever Q supplies next week, when I have more free time.

I'm sure we'll need to work out some technical details, such as how to enumerate data for the Top Prospects (see this post) in a way that doesn't face-plant the MR Forum servers. I'm sure The Doctor is busy putting together the actual data for the thread, and he told me he's taking extra notes about the process, so I'll wait for the new thread to appear before haranguing pestering coordinating the details.

Who knows, he may even post the scripts, formulas, notes, procedures, spells, incantations, etc. to the new thread.

I recall your offer. If @Doctor Q does hang up his slide rule, then I'm sure people would be glad his legacy carries on!

Actually, fantastic news.

You have not only my blessings but my best wishes for this endeavour. The best of luck to you.
