Title: How Many people actually post here? (Ive got the answer.)
Post by: Falcon4 on June 12, 2001, 05:53:57 PM
You must be thinking that this guy is crazy, how would he know out of the 3200+ regestered how many of them actually post on these forums?

Well guess what I did?
yep.
I went through the 100+ pages of members names and post counts in the memberlist, and got some raw numbers.
from what is on the memberlist, we currently have:

44 people that have posted more than 1000 times.
91 people that have over 500 posts.
276 people who have over 100 posts
(remember the above numbers add into each other, because the people who have 500+ posts also have 100+ posts exc.:D)
so, if we  take the number of people who have posted 100+ times(which includes the 500+ posters and the 1000+ posters, if you didnt understand eariler:D), we would get 276.
 Now, we now know that there are currently 3208 regestered people on these forums.

if we subtract 276 from 3208 we will get 2932.

so? what is that number mean? you say.

that means that 2932 of the 3208 people regestered people here have under 100 posts.


so, the semi-final(yes, semi-final) stats are as follows:

44 people that have posted more than 1000 times.

91 people that have over 500 posts.

276 people who have over 100 posts(again, this number includes the number of 500+ posters and 1000+posters)

2932people that have less than 100 posts (most of these people are at 1 or 0 posts)


But im not done yet:D(sorry! its not done:D)

1.)How many people have less than 500 posts, but  more than 100?
2.)How many people have less than 1000 posts but have more than 500?

First, Question 1.
If you take how many people who have 500+posts (this includes the # of 1000+ posters), and subtract it from the number of people with 100+ posts you will get 185.(276-91=185)
so you have 185 people who  have more that 100 posts, but less than 500.

Now, for question 2.
you do the same as above, but subtact the number of 1000+ posters from the number of 500+ posters.
if you do that you will get 47.(91-44=47)


So, Finally we come across the Final (finally!:D) numbers:

There are 44people who have 1000 posts or more on these Forums.

There are 46people who have more than 500 posts but less than 1000.

There are 185people who have more than 100 posts, but less than 500.

There are 2932people on these forums that have less than 100 posts (most of these people have only 1 or no posts at all;))

Remember, That some of the people who have 100+, 500+ or even 1000+ posts have gone away and are not posting on the forums anymore.( they were banned, or they left, there are many reasons(SegaCultX, anyone?)

OK. well ive seen this question come up in some threads, and i just thought "Hey, why dont i actually count and find out?" so i did.

P.S- did you know that there is a registered name on these forums that is,   The PS2 Sucks like Lewenski   ???

P.S.P.S- did you know that i am sooooo bored because there is no new news on the main forum?

P.S cubed- did you know that i was soo bored i actually went through the whole list and counted?

well, i hope you didnt pass out halfway through reading this third grade math writing assignment:D

hope this clears up some misconceptions about how many people actually post here:D

any comments? (Did i do some math wrong in there;))

thanks, but i thought that people would be interested in actually knowing how many people post here.
(well i guess only the regulars would care, the other guys just want news;))

I care. I\'m surprised someone took the time to do it, but I care. It\'s less than I thought.

I\'m impressed. How long did it take?
Title: How Many people actually post here? (Ive got the answer.)
Post by: Falcon4 on June 12, 2001, 07:16:40 PM
well, it took me about an hour to count them all up.

the writing of the thread took up a good 30 min ( i was doing more things than one at the time)
and i wanted to know how many people actually do post in these forums..
my best guess is that around 30 or less people are regulars at this forum here.
Title: How Many people actually post here? (Ive got the answer.)
Post by: Stupid Mop on June 12, 2001, 07:29:43 PM
That would be my guess too. About 20-30 people come in and post everyday and probably another 20-30 maybe a few times a week.

Well I just like to say that the amount of posting is not important. I know people who post alot simple because they argue with everyone. Then thier are people who post alot because they want to spam to get thier picture.

How long they have been here is to me more important, although the people mentioned above do stand out more.

damn man, this must have taken ages.  I thought i put in a lot of effort when i listed the top 20 posters, their date of registering, number of posts and avcerage posts per day

nice work

p.s. this belongs in off topic

nice stats :)
I did a search in the control panel and since June 1st here have been 309 members (guests not counted).
Usually around 200 members check in daily (guests not counted).

hey well done falcon... it\'s an odd thing to do, but it must have taken a bit of dedication to actually do it, so well done :)

If I had to put a number on how many people post here regularly, and by that I DON"T mean every day, I mean weekly, and even bi-weekly, but nontheless regular, I\'d say about 300.

It\'s pretty surprising seeing the actual figures

wow! 200 memebers check in per day?
i figured that there was about 30 or so regulars that come here per day.

but 200 members?! wow.

part of the reason why i did this was to see the ratio between the members that contribute to the forums compared to the people who register, then post once, then never come back.

from looking at the list, i say that there are about 300+ people regestered that are at 1 or 0.

I dont post that often but enjoy reading what some of you guys have to say.... I dont see the point in posting anything unless I have something worth saying to be honest.  Also Im well into mi tunes so have to admit I spend allot of time on some UK clubbers chat pages.

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Thanks for the info, man. It\'s not that I was deep into your post, it\'s just that I appreciate that you wanted to share this with us and took the time to do all that. You should, however, take a couple of days to rest, because I know that I would need it after all that typing and math. Good job, my friend...:)
