Some interesting stats

[RogueLeader]

I was just looking at some stats, and decided to do a couple of calculations as far as percentages of the posters to site post count

Top Ten Posters have a combined 22.7556% of all CAPTalk Posts
Top three posters have just over 12% of all CAPTalk posts,


And. . . . . .




are you ready for it yet?









Top single poster has just over 6% of all CAPTalk posts.

I'll own that - not like I have a choice. I took a year off recently, too.

This is the only and singular forum I participate in as a contributor on the web. I'm not on Facebook, Twitter, or
any other social media advertising platform. I "work" for myself in IT and as such I am frequently watching
or waiting for things to break at the intersection of boredom and bandwidth.

CT is usually an open tab (of 20) somewhere, and when you don't see my smiling face, it's because I have something to
do that takes actual attention or precludes connectivity.

It would be interesting to understand exactly how the "time online" is calculated.  317 days seems like a lot,
however when you drill it down to 11 years, assuming a 30-day month, it works out to about 2 hours a day.
Considering that at any given time I have at least 6 machines and devices that could be logged in here, sitting idle
because I walked away and left it open, it's not really as much as it might appear. (Does a member clock double if
more then one tab is open on the same machine?)

More then a few times, generally near the end of losing an argument a discussion, someone will ad hominem about
"how much time you spend online", etc. I'll put my 6 posts a day and time online up against anyone else's Twitspace time
and posts any time in the "too much free time" arena (though I will grant I absolutely have TMFT).

It was worse BITD when CadetStuff, All Military, and and other forums were active.  Some of us would have the same
exact argument 3-4 times in different places.

CAP is one of the few things I feel I have relevent experience and knowledge to share, not to mention plenty of things
I would like to see fixed (though my interest in this is waning on several fronts).  When that changes, or I leave CAP,
you won't see me posting about "WIWASM", however when that time comes, you guys will still need like 5 years just to get near my numbers.    :-)

Either we've been apprised of the "opinion leaders", or we have a few posters who strive to exceed the media's performance in the last POTUS election.     Humor is sometimes helpful, other times it is earned.

Annnnd, I'm up there at number four. But, I'm retired, so CT is part of my daily entertainment agenda. It is, as well, as an ongoing opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences of CAP from the past 50 years

I'm not making any judgments, just an observation. Read into it what you will. There was a time that I was on the top ten posters was well.

I made the "most time online list" and would also be interested in knowing how the software calculates that figure.  My post count is relatively low, and it is part of my job to lurk and watch things.  But I guess like Bob, I generally just open a tab and leave it there for the day, checking back every couple of hours.

Interesting.

I'm at number 5. Been on Captalk for almost 10 years. Just shy of 2 posts per day on average.

My stats show "Most Worshipped"   Wow.. .I never knew.   :clap:

I wondered that because it wouldn't be unusual for me to have the tab open.  It could be open for hours, even days if I'm not going anywhere.  It just sits in the background.

Hmmm. For the amount of posting I do on CT, you'd think I'd be in the Top 10. Not even close. 

Hooray for mediocrity.

Sure, I'll jump in.

3 posts a day for ten years.  Doesn't seem excessive.  I do suspect that my average over the last few years is significantly lower.  As with a significant percentage of my Wing (given our declining membership and lack of vigor in certain of our leaders, my interest in CAP activities is just about nil at this point.  Mostly on CAPTalk out of habit these days.

At your rate, with 10 years in you'd have 4,437 posts.

Will not happen. I've said my bit on most issues.

Lies!

I haven't heard a word from you about the silicone jumpsuits, space heat blanket wing design, or the carrying of wooden swords by cadets whilst being instructed in CAP B-52 airframes.

There will always be new topics. Keep in mind that Eclipse and RiverAux have both taken sabbaticals of considerable length in the 5+ years I've been here.

Those topics don't interest me.
