You don't have to give info to type a reply ;)

[vendettaseve]

That is either genius or insanity ah such a fine line.

[Isaac's Ark]

comment on photos I think that counts lol yay a fee post for the ark lol

[infernalis]

That is either genius or insanity ah such a fine line.

Most geniuses are insane.

Many inventions were created by people with disorders such as ADHD and other "social disabilities"

If I had a dollar for every post I ever made that simply said "nice pics" or "thanks for posting" I would be rolling in money by now. ;)

[Sapphyr]

Ha! Same Wayne :D Or even welcome!

and oh jeez, I think this is going to turn into a 'Post Wars' kind of thing. xD

Another post for Sapph! I'm gonna be at 1,000 in no time! :D Probably by the end of next month, at most, honestly.

[infernalis]

I lost count of how many times I posted that welcome mat.

[Aaron_S]

I think a kudos should goto those who have less posts but longer tenures as a member. ;)

[Sapphyr]

Ha, I'm sure you've posted it a good 500 - 1,500+ times, eh?

[snakesRkewl]

Congrats on 1004 :)

[blindfireak40]

Aaron: .67 Posts per day (roughly)

Sapphyr: 9.38 Posts per day (again, roughly)

Wayne: about 8.62

Reptile: About 5.97

So it looks like Aaron Definitely gets those Kudos he was talking about, while I think Sapphyr's the quickest set of typing hands here lol

[Reptile_Reptile]

thanks for the stat sheet man, definitely saving that.

[blindfireak40]

Hahaha For sure dude...numbers are what I do :)

[Sapphyr]

Haha, yey! xD I'm fastest! -does victory dance- It does make sense, though. I've been type-type-typing since I was 8. c:

[Lankyrob]

Ooooh whats my average?? lol maybe we should have a stat sheet on here somewhere and a league table too!!! :) :rolleyes: ;)

[infernalis]

Over the years I have learned to appreciate both, people who post a lot with not much to say, and people who don't post much, but when they do it's a post with some useful content.

The way I look at it, whenever someone posts on a thread, even if it's just "nice pics" the post keeps the thread alive. Folks don't reply to quiet threads as much as they do active threads.

[blindfireak40]

lol Rob, you're at 5.81.

And I would be more than happy to make such a stat sheet hahahaha...it's fun for me :)

[blindfireak40]

I think, to make it easier on myself, I will be using only those that have over 100 posts or have joined in the past year. Lots of people on here from like '03 with only 25-50 posts. Sound good?

[infernalis]

You can also make it a lot easier on yourself, of all the members that have been around more than 5 years, only half a dozen are still active.

A few years ago the previous owner of the forum let it fall to ruin, we lost a lot of members, although they still show up on the members list.

Our good friend Jason (AKA Boots) purchased the forum and last year he asked me to help turn it around. Since then we have seen some amazing growth, like the Phoenix rising from the ashes.

[Reptile_Reptile]

I often ask myself why i didnt join sooner. now i know i came in at just the right time.

Just click on someone profile, then statistics and it will tell you their average post per day. Don't get any easier than that.:)

[Sapphyr]

Ohhhh, so that's why I don't see a lot of the older members.

Well, just a note, but when you Google 'snake forums' it's the first thing to come up! That's how I got I, I needed a well populated forum for a speedy response to help my corn c: ... 'Course, those that were there know what happened but... the help was still appreciated.

And Wayne, I can't help but to inquire... Is that latin in your signature? I took two years of latin in high school.

But...but...but...I wanna do it the HARD WAY :rolleyes:

lol what I've actually decided to do is take the members that have been active so far this year, and I'm gonna make a big fatty Excel spreadsheet for it, and then it should be sortable by all the different columns. Just for fun :)

[Lankyrob]

I have seen the quote before - something about wise men not spreading gossip - not sure about the strict translation tho. It was one of the considerations for a tattoo before i went with ancient greek instead.

[Sapphyr]

I vaguely remember some of the words, but I was horrible with latin. I mean, I was great in the beginning, but I don't know a lot of English terms. You ask me what an adverb is and I'd have no clue. I know a verb is an action, but I don't know what an adverb is. This, later, became an issue for me in Latin II and I eventually had to leave or I'd fail it, for certain. I hated to leave because, one, it was an interesting language, and two, the teacher was a friend of mine. Very nice, always loved talking with her. It was honestly for my own good, though.

I've, unfortunately, forgotten most of what I learned there.

Yes it is, loosly translated it means "wise men don't speak as truth what he cannot prove"

In forum speak "pics or it didn't happen":)

I used to love studying ancient language and was thinking of taking it through uni but instead got a job at 16 and kinda lost the urge.

I think I should add a caveat emptor (since we're talkin' dead langauges) in that one should always remember; when reading posts with actual advice in them, that the number of posts in many cases has NOTHING at all to do with intelligence, experience, or knowledge.
I have found the old adage:
"Those who have nothing intelligent to say, say it often" applies no where better than in online forums.

LOL Wayne!!!
This from a Super Genius.....

[infernalis]

I love all languages, I only wish I did when I was still in school.

It's fascinating really, language is nothing more than association of sounds.

That is so true, it's not even funny.

[presspirate]

I tend, in person to not speak unless spoken to. I have my area of expertise, (As does everyone) On the forums however, (Since I do not know many reptile owners in person) To ask more questions and comment on the great pics that have been posted.

[infernalis]

Hey JR, did you notice your profile page has had 1,205 visits?

[Reptile_Reptile]

no i didnt. is that a lot?

[infernalis]

it means a lot of people have taken interest in you.

[Reptile_Reptile]

i wonder if thats good or bad

[Aaron_S]

That's more members than we have here! A little odd...

[infernalis]

The software counts non registered visits and google bots, I also think if one person looks 5 times, the odometer counts to 5, so it is a skewed number.

[Reptile_Reptile]

ah. sounds legit...........

[infernalis]

The cat's out of the bag JR, you are a narcissist and have clicked on your own profile 1100 times. ;) Keep it up, you will turn into a flower.

[Sapphyr]

Ha! xD I tend to click on my page from time to time... but most of the time it's to back track to posts I've made and can't remember where I made them.

Anywho. I would have loved to continue with Latin, but I obviously couldn't. Maybe I was, also, lagging in Latin that year because I was also taking Chinese that same year... I did awesome in Chinese~ Though, I've forgotten majority of my symbols. Know how to say things, though. I may continue on with my chinese some day, but not right now.

Speaking of post count, I've always wondered about that 10,000 Poster... How'd they manage 10,000 posts? o_O

[infernalis]

Linds was a former mod, post 4K-5K annually for a couple years it's easy to do.

Latin fascinates me, especially since quite a few languages including our own began there.

Chinese, wow Impressive!

Portuguese and Italian are my favourites, and I simply love the true and proper form of English, Americans have all but ruined it, removing letters and changing pronunciation. I have my spell checker set up to stop rejecting words like Colour, Flavour, Honour, Centre, etc...

[Lankyrob]

I think Gaelic and Catalan are the oldest languages that are still spoken today in their original form, almost every language is heavily bastardised over a period of time, even watching a grandparent speak to a teenager shows up how quickly language can change - two generations is more than enough. With a leap forward in technology like computing in the 80's and 90's the english language changed in one generation. It is fascinating and something i would like to delve further into of i only had the energy and an undrugged brain!! Some days english escapes me!!

actually my Internets home page is set directly to my control panel so if that counts then i have.

[infernalis]

You do know I am only picking right?

I usually have 3 tabs open, all of them are the three forums I spend my time on.

[Reptile_Reptile]

im not going to lie i cant tell what you mean by that (like how your picking) did i not click on my own page? or were you joking? lol sorry i just woke up and have a giant corn on my arm :)

[infernalis]

Joking man, just joking with you.

Notice the use of the wink smiley, that was to clarify.

[Reptile_Reptile]

lol..............

Maybe it's all chicks looking for contact info. ;)

[Sapphyr]

True true... I'm sure, in a few years' time, I'll have Linds beat c:

At any rate, thanks~ A lot of people claim Chinese to be hard, but I actually found it to be relatively simple. Though, I did have issues with the accents above the letters and pronouncing them correctly. I wrote Chinese fine, though.

And yes, I do agree with you. English has been horribly maimed over the past several years...

[infernalis]

Actually I tested a theory, I went to my own profile and clicked refresh 35 times, the meter never advanced once.

Only one log in per 24 hours will advance it by use of cookies. If you have firefox and or/chrome you could probably advance it a couple more.

We get "crawled by web spiders" constantly, Google, NSN, Yahoo and Ask Jeeves are here all the time.

[Reptile_Reptile]

ah maybe i post popular topics and questions that a lot of people web search. thats my guess.

[infernalis]

You make more posts, so the bots follow you around more often than a quiet member.

They read the whole page, including the hidden HTML code that does not even display.

That includes the hotlink to your profile, so each time google for instance scans a page, if you have a post on that page, it also reads your profile. They do this from "server farms" buildings with racks and racks of server towers all connected to a trunk line, so cookies mean nothing, and they usually run Linux, very few sites run on window server platforms.
