Author Topic: Numbers (Read 1562 times)

I haven't done this in a while, but since it was asked in another thread, I thought I would see where we are. I did my analysis last night, so it?s already a bit dated. In fact I know of one regular user who posted number 50 last night after I had already run my numbers.

First, before I get to my numbers, Mica, who goes through and purges some of the non-human ?registrations? from time to time, tells me that ?the tally of likely real human registered users is about 4,000?. She also believes that ?there's many more non-registered readers than registered users?. So with that addition, here?s what I came up with last night.

We get a lot of registrations that aren't really registrations, so the number of registered users isn't a useful number.

If I'm calculating this right, the number of users that have posted a least once is 2,043. Of course that includes a lot of people who only posted once, or only a few times to one thread, etc.

The number of users that have posted at least ten times is 755. At this point I start seeing names of some folks who've recently joined.

The number of users that have posted at least 25 times is 449. At this point I'm seeing some folks whose names are familiar both recently and in the past.

The number of users that have posted at least 50 times is 309. At this point the names are all familiar; so these are folks who have contributed regularly.

The number of users that have posted at least 1,000 times is 23, including our Brother Paul who is number four all time.

The number of users that have posted in the last 24 hours is 32, including 2 who posted for the first time, and 16 who have 500 or more posts.

The number of users that have posted in the last 7 days is 102.

The number of users that have posted in the last month is 233.

The number of users that have posted since the beginning of the year is 399.

The number of users that have posted in the last year is 675.

There are of course a large number of people who read regularly but don't post or post only occasionally.

Finally, the number of users who have posted at least 50 times and have posted in the last two months is 167.

Makes me want to post!

How about a joke?

A mushroom walks into a bar.

The bartender looks up and says, Hey, get out of here, we don't serve mushrooms in this bar!

To which the mushroom replies, Why not, I'm a fungi.

Indeed, reading this only made me want to post!
And I'll go with Reid...
What did the fish say when it hit a concrete wall?
Damn!

Okay, Reid...

A rope walks into a bar.

The bartender looks up and says, Hey, get out of here, we don't serve ropes in this bar!

The rope goes out dejected, then comes up with an idea. He pops into the alley next to the bar, pulls out a comb and straightens out a foot or so of himself then ties that section into a quick bow.

The rope walks back into the bar a second time.

The bartender looks up again and says, Hey, aren't you that rope I just kicked out of here a few minutes ago?!

To which the rope replies, No, sir, I'm a frayed knot.

Reid, don't make me dig in the back corner of my brain for the *really* bad ones...

Did you get over-time wages for the research Dave?

I found it ironic, to me anyway, that the number of poster of 1000 posts or more is 23. The ironic part is I just finished trying to watch the movie 23 with Jim Carrey. Couldn't get into the movie and thought I'd see what was going on here and WHOA....that number 23 just keeps showing up.

OO

OH MY! Check out the middle 2 numbers in the Post Number of my last post,

I have one BOB,

A horse walks into a bar and the bartender say, Why such a LONG face?

OO
GEEZZ, there's that 23 again.

Two drummers walk into a bar - you'd think the second one would've ducked.

A skeleton walks into a bar, sits down and says to the bartender, Give me a cold beer and a mop.

Um, has anyone noticed that the time is off on the server? It's kind of cool though to upload jokes into the future! Future-humor.

Thanks Reid. The server had a problem with the new Daylight Savings Time change, but this is a little different.

David Houck · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11, 2009, 07:19:44 PM »

It's off by an hour; is that what you are seeing? If so, then it's still the daylight savings time issue. We fixed it the first time, when it didn't change on the new day; and we haven't fixed it the second time yet for when it did change on the old date.

Steve Miller wrote a song about this very thing.

Ok - not a bar joke but still one of the funniest jokes I ever told. :-|

Two muffins are in the oven; one muffin turns to the other and says, Geez it's getting hot in here.
The other muffin says,Holy Crap! A talking muffin!

Yes sir, the server time is an hour ahead. We had a couple of machines where I work that had to be man-handled to accept the new DST.

Ol' Steve was ahead of his time, if you'll pardon the pun.

Some good jokes are being posted thanks to the postings survey. Thanks to all!
