Post Analytics

I believe that I have the highest posts-per-day of any member on the forums, barring people who've only been on a week or so.

I have 5.38. Following that comes WoF with 4.75, Scrabtrapman with 4.29 and Xavier with 3.84. My research was hardly thorough, I might add.

The reason for my interest was that I noticed that I had recently "overtaken" several veterans in terms of post count, and I would find it rather naive not to believe that posting so much more than some highly intelligent and eloquent people had some impact on the average quality of my posts.

I hope that by trimming away some of the crap, putting back on the intellectual pressure I felt here in my early years when I was leagues out of my depth, and getting back into reading and good TV rather than endless video games and webcomics, I might start to recover some of the wit and snark that got me accepted here in the first place, rather than just coasting downhill on my established reputations and relationships.

Or maybe I just spend more time online than everybody else. Maybe I should get a Twitter account.
