Jem Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Welcome to the.. *Drum Roll* OFFICIAL YEARLY FORUM STATS 2003 !! LucasForums boasts having 47 233 members but we all know that many just pop in to ask a game related question and never come back (They usually leave without an answer ). So I was wondering how many of those members are actually real ones? I proceeded in observing the members list, taking notes and using my calculator. This is what was revealed to me: 22 922 members have 0 post. 7 673 members have 1 post 46 575 members have posts inferior to 500 320 members have posts superior to 500 183 members have posts superior to 1 000 13 members have posts superior to 5 000 1 member has posts superior to 10 000 (Go Redwing !! ) As you can see almost half of the 47 232 members have never posted and I'm sure that more than 90% of them never will. I am considering a real Member someone who has more than 500 posts and I am making no connections with posting rates (for instance if someone has 2 000 posts but hasn't posted for the past 2 years...). So LucasForums has 320 real Members, Members with a capital M. If you add up the number of members with less than 500 posts and those with more than 500 post we obtain 46 895 members and not 47 233 members like LucasForums claims it has. I have rechecked in the members list and now the count is 46 947 members. (either 52 new members joined LucasForums while I was investigating or I missed a couple, I think a bit of both happened. But still it is inferior to 47 233) One question is left unanswered: Who and where are the missing 265 members? For the following I have considered a total of 46 895 members and not 47233: 48.88% of members have never posted. 0.68% of members can be considered real Members. That is all. For the record: I couldn't fall asleep, was very bored and had nothing better to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold leader Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Woohoo! I'm a real member! But 320 members with more than 500 posts is a ridiculously low number for the amount of boards that the Lucasgames forum has, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Jem, Aren't you a college student? I can't believe you "had nothing better to do." Anyway,.. that is wild. But it does confim some suspicions I've had about this place for a long time. Now if you could only figure out what the percentage of spam content is in those posts for all those with counts over 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Nine Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 We've all known these facts for a long time, Jem. We've just never quantified them. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Agreed. Write a 12-page report about it, and try and snag some extra points in a possibly-related-mathematics-oriented course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 That's great investigative work there. I always thought that all of the members was just a farse. These numbers here are surprising to me..... Originally posted by Jem 320 members have posts superior to 500 183 members have posts superior to 1 000 I guess I never really thought about it before......but now that I do, when you look at the "current active members" it's usually the same people. Interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jem Posted February 17, 2003 Author Share Posted February 17, 2003 Study break sucks because it has the word "study" in it. I've done enough work and studying last week so I've decided to slack and rest until Tuesday and start working afterwords. BTW, does that answer your question edlib?

edlib Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Sure, I guess. But you're at college! There are other people around. There are members of the opposite sex!!! Perhaps members of the opposite sex who are also looking for something to do. There must be SOMEWAY to not be bored in that situation. But if ya still really want sumthin ta do... Come down here and shovel out my driveway! I sure as hell don't want to do it. I'll give you a buck. Clean off my car and I'll make it 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted February 17, 2003 Author Share Posted February 17, 2003 The thing is that most of the university residents left to their home town or something so there's not much people to see. Now if you don't mind, I have some pressing business to attend to, I'm a very busy man. *Takes the next plane for Boston* $ KA-CHING $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Beastie Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 That better be $2 American (that's like $75 up here ) Besides, it's a well-known fact that every last girl at Ottawa U already has a boyfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Gunray Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Originally posted by Flying Beastie Besides, it's a well-known fact that every last girl at every educational institution already has a boyfriend, even the ugly ones though I'm not sure how this is possible.

Rogue Nine Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 No, that's not true. At my university there are a plethora of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 Of ugly girls? BTW, what the heck happened here: Scroll down until my post and keep going down. Don't forget to read. WTF? All of this is going in my Forum Report. EDIT: Intense Investigation have led to an answer to my "WTF?" interrogation: Originally posted by matt-windu The thread was indeed briefly everywhere while I was updating forumdisplay.php...can't put anything past those XWAers. If you care to notice, this thread is now stickied, and the sticky thread is removed from the store...the fact is that whoever originally made our store mod is a sucky coder, plain and simple. The sticky thread feature doesn't work, and it isn't worth fixing as, in total, 1 has been purchased. Although a supected invasion will be mentioned in the report. Good thing our VSDs got there in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba The Hunt Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Going back to the original topic I actually have way over 1000 posts my post count just got screwed in the change over to the "better" system. If this doesnt get fixed soon ill expect a new pic when i get to 1000 , I would also like the above record updated to account for this inconsistancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold leader Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 You noticed that? There is a "donate credits" link right underneath your forum-financial-situation-overview. How nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 I think this thing called "Father Torque Foundation" is partly responsible for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
