I'm interested in how much people post on the forum and what it says about them.

Give yourself a forum posting rate score by going to your user profile and clicking on the "forums" tab.

Divide the number of "replies created" by the time in months that you have been a member. (This only takes into account data since the hack in December 2008)

Eg. for me it's 929 replies and I've been a member since December 2008 so 154 months. That gives me a posting rate of 6 posts per month.

What does that say about me? Seasoned lurker.

~50 posts a month. Probably used to be more but spend a couple of years away from here (but still riding) and only returned at the start of lockdown and needed something to do whilst I was working from home 😀

0.85 topics a month, 42.25 replies.

What this says about me I don't know.

That I have 5.5k distinct replies as opposed to masses of duplication tells you I don't hang round the politics threads very much.

755/52 = 14.5

Higher than i was expecting. I'm definitely a lurker and only shout up if I feel I have something to contribute rather than arguing with all and sundry for the sake of it.

A breakdown of Bike/Chat contributions would be interesting. There's many prolific posters in Chat who never pop-up on bike related topics.

I can navigate to your profile even though you're on a mobile, which I'm sure helps you a lot.

That my cyber stalking is better than Tom's and consistent with my relatively low post rate.

Careful now...this thread is blowing the lid off your daily average.

26.3

Lurked for a few years before starting posting as I seem to remember....then had a few periods away. I feel like I've been posting more of late.

That's rubbing salt into a nasty wound.

Well, what it says about me is my tech is out of date. What it says about @dangeourbrain? I'm not sure, I'll endeavour to find his stalker hiding place and invite him in for tea. It must be miserable out there in the pouring rain.

34.2. Quite often I'll type a reply out, then think bollocks, it doesn't really matter then delete it so I'm surprised it's as high as 34!

0.7 topics started per month.

I generally lurk, think about replying, then just carry on lurking.

24/12/2008 to 21/10/2020 is 11 full years plus 10 months, isn't it? that's 142 months

If so, I'm 166 (including topics started, which don't get counted as replies)

Stats for the last 14 months:

11 topics started so 0.78 topics started per month.
1170 posts so that's 83.6 posts per month! That's over 2 a day average.

I blame smartphones.

1394 since 2008=9.68 per month.
77 threads started.
Was here prior to the 2008 hack, from around 2006.
Definitely not one of the “big hitters”....

Agreed that we could do with more granularity in the data - a split between bike and chat forums would be very interesting.
It would also be fascinating to have a graph of posting rate against time. I know that during tough phases of life I have spent a lot more time here.
Getting a new boring desk job could also be associated with a big increase in posting.

49.8, which seems like a lot. I must spend more time here than I thought.
