What is your post-to-reply ratio?

[leftofthedial]

On average, how many posts do you make for every reply your posts get?

Clarification: posts, not threads (although an OP in thread is a post).

1. Posts, or threads?

To my individual & pointless posts I receive a reply about 65% of the time.

3. posts

2. Some days are better than others...

I'm batting 0/5 so far.

Oh wait that's not true I got some new comments to the Africa webcam thread.

4. People are quiet during the daytime.

In the evening, you always get a response.

Time for more coffee. Microwaved. Take THAT HEyHEy!

5. Also

Having alienated myself from several people who used to reply to me certainly doesn't help matters.

But what are ya gonna do. :shrug:

7. Who'd you alienate?

:)

6. I try to keep the Laws of Physics in balance...

So, I maintain a negative number of replies to my posts to offset the positive numbers of some
others around here.

8. Ooops.

I just screwed up the celestial harmony you crafted so carefully!

[Hugin]

9. Great, just great... Now there is a ripple in the space/time continuum...

Now somebody will have to start a flame war about breast feeding among animals at a public zoo by
pandas to put all in sync again. :crazy:

11. but first . . .

14. Do they serve fried chicken at the O.G.?

They serve a mean salad tho.

10. it comes and goes, sometimes I have loads of replies other times

it's like posting in an empty forum, threads I've started plummet to obscurity. At other times no-one seems to have replied to a single post for days.

12. If you really want to bum yourself out

divide your replies by views for your thread to come up with yourloser quotient.
:hurts:

[leftofthedial]

13. that's way too disheartening

I think I'd better leave for awhile.

[Hugin]

15. Let's see...

I'm running about a -0.0000000000000000000000002.

So, my loser quotient is a complex imaginary number.

*scratches head*

16. what is a small number divided by infinity?

[Hugin]

17. That, Mr. leftofthedial, would be a very small number rapidly approaching absolute ZERO.

Nothing. None. Itty-Bitty. Scant trace. Pffft.

I, however, choose to use my own formula. (For morale reasons)

(Number of Views My Thread / Total DU posts) / (Total Number of DU Members / Replies to My Thread)

For example... (25/26,000,000) / (90,000/3) = 9.6153846153846153846153846153846e-7 / 30000 =

Something like: 3.2051282051282051282051282051282e-11

This is a more scientifically sound, quantifiable, and accurate Loser Quotient.

[leftofthedial]

18. I'm too big a loser

to even calculate my own loser quotient


:cry:

19. It's a good day if I get one reply

Some days I will get a lot, especially if it is a hot topic.

Sometimes I want to start a thread asking if everyon has me on ignore. But then no one would answer, would they? :crazy:

20. A quick analysis of My Posts shows 62 posts with 59 replies

but two of those were thread starters, one of which had 5 replies and the other had 9 replies. They skewed the results somewhat.

21. I don't care...

I never check that shit...
