I made a histogram for post count (number of users with 1 post, number of users with 2 posts, number of users with 3 posts, etc.) but it turned out really lame. The dispersion is so big I had to use logarithmic scale for both axes for it to be of any use, and the graph looks like crap. If you wish to check it out anyway, click on the image Maybe tomorrow I'll group the data in intervals and try again. As usual, if you want the raw data, just PM me (it's actually quite interesting, all the available information for the 841 users that have 1 or more posts).

Thinking of a new chart. This one is going to take some manual labor.

WHAT?

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?“

What are you!!?? Some sort of Madma... ... Oh... ... I see... ... Well, carry on then.

5 more minutes...

Banned for not giggling yourself.

I figured out I could use the Search function to find the exact post count for each user in the Forums Games section (searching one by one). I then subtracted that number from the total post count and once again calculated the absolute value for the rep to post count ratio. This is the graph with Ross in it. And once again, without him. As you can see, the results have changed from the original calculations. This is specially noticeable in Psychotic Ninja's ratio (not surprising, considering at the time I collected the data he had 1972 post in total, but 1696 were in the Forum Games section, leaving him with 23 rep points to be divided among only 276 non Forum Games' posts. The next graph (click to enlarge) shows a comparison between the rep to post ratio for the 25 top posters with and without the Forum Games section. The first bar is your ratio including Forum Games posts, the second without them. Once again, BTGBullseye and Flyingamerboy's ratios are shown in absolute value. If you want the original Excel file, PM me and I'll send it to you.

I was just checking the webpage for a local store that sells Wii games. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, is coming next week!

This, is the good stuff.

Working. As far as Mondays go, this has been a particularly brutal one. Three more hours to go.

We are coming for you!

And at some point, you even posted here! I would be a hypocrite if I nagged you for this. I'll just say that the important thing is moderation and responsibility (common sense stuff, you know, like "if you drink, don't drive"). I'm currently watching the remake of "Dawn of the dead", one of the best Zombie movies ever.

Banned because you'll regret that!

I wouldn't worry too much. I believe this representation to be indeed more accurate than rep or post count alone, but it is still inherently flawed in the sense that the post count includes the Forum Games section, where you for example have 1020 posts in the "Ban the person above you!" alone (I guess that makes you something of a ban-aholic). I doubt much of your rep comes from that thread, but a lot of your post count does. I think doing this same graph excluding the Forum Games Section would be a much more interesting and accurate exercise, but I'm currently at a loss as to how to extract that information. Maybe I'll ask Nagisa later. Oh nuts. Someone noticed my ponzi scheme for rep hoarding In answer to your query, R'lyeh is a fictional sunken city in the South Pacific, where the malevolent Cthulhu resides. It's all part of Lovercraft's literary universe. The famous quote "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" translates as "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming".

Banned because of course you got credit for it. I believe in fairness.

Bill and I were goofing around the Ban the person above you! thread, when he said that "keeping up a rep of quality posts is important too". The wisdom of his words gave me the idea to make a chart for reputation versus post count ratio (as percentage) for the 25 top posters. This is the result. Of course Ross' mammoth rep count distorts everything, so here's the same chart, without Ross. And BTGBullseye's number is not really representative, since he encouraged -rep-ing him for good posts (his ratio is presented in absolute value). PM me if you want the original Excel file (the data is fairly easy to extract anyway). EDIT: forgot to mention that FGB's ratio is also presented in absolute value.

Banned because you should get a shotgun, a machete, your fedora, and take care of that shit. Also, banned for giving me and idea for the accursed farms charts, which I'm just about to post.

Banned because there's no music playing right now. You're hearing things son

I would like to hear that Did you know that technically, bananas are herbs?

Banned because numeric results are the best you can hope for in this situation.

Banned because I agree, you should calculate the rep to post count ratio for the top posters and then get back to me to discuss your findings. I believe you'd be pleasantly surprised .

Did you know that in England, all the swans belong to the queen?
