Ultimate threadkiller contest
Ok, we've all wondered which of us is the greatest threadkiller. Many of us have made the claim, but nobody's put forward any empirical evidence. However, with the ever-popular Search function, it's easy to find out. Just search your username (Pull down the "Search which field(s)?" pulldown menu and choose "Author"). Search over the last 3 days to get a representative number of hits, unless you're just a posting machine. It's probably best to start the search from the Lobby so you'll hit every forum, but if you just want to see if you're the ultimate Lounge lizard threadkiller, it's ok with me.

Count the number of threads where your username comes after Last Modified By, and divide it by the total number of threads returned.

Me? 21.8%. I think I'm a pretty good threadkiller, but probably not championship material.

NOTE: If you don't have a star and can't search, just note as much in your reply, and I'll do the search for you. Everybody ought to be able to know if they're the ultimate threadkiller or not, after all.

10. 15.4% (or 7.8%)
(though 7.8% of them were old threads I dredged up and purposefully kicked, then they sunk back down)

So, either 7.8% or 15.4% depending on how you look at it.
