Stan Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Who will be the first person to hit 10,000 post with a single screen name? and for a bonus 52 clubadventist points WHAT DATE ( am thinking Bravus, Dec 28 2004) Quote If you receive benefit to being here please help out with expenses. https://www.paypal.me/clubadventist Administrator of a few websites like https://adventistdating.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Bravus! Bravus? He's not even close! Come on, Stan. My vote is for Nico. Her rate of posting is the fastest and most diverse of any of our's. Even so, it's still going to take a while. I'm thinking November 2007. Edited portion: Nah. On second thought, I think it might be a lot sooner. My best guess is January 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I know, I wanted to challange him, I can see him ordering Tim Hortons by the truckload, not sleeping and coming in 2 days ahead of my guess. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> On a serious note there are some aborund 7,000 Robert used to be the top but not sure where he is now.

Not sure if this was meant as humour or sarcasm. Often humour does not transfer well on forums. If it was sarcasm, then shame on you. I appreciate so much the variety of posts that Amelia does, and the humour as well. It should beats a lot of other kind of posts.

cricket Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I think it was meant to be humorous. I think Amelia took it that way as well. Her response had a whole lot of StickingOutYourTongueSmilies! Amelia: Nico: Stan: Me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Well Stan, Bravus maybe could use his formula to figure this out, but since there are so any variables it surely will not work. What we need here are statistics. But again, how do you measure motivation? So Stan I need your help. I have probably left out someone very important. You will have to enlighten me if I have. When I read about the contest, I did a search to find anyone who could be a contender. I came up with these names because each one has reached 4,000 already. Amelia joined 7/30/2001 and for the past 1283 days has posted 7314 posts and should post an additional 2686 posts to reach 10,000 on April 16, 2006. Nico joined 11/21/2003 and for the past 409 days has posted 4563 posts and should post an additional 5437 posts to reach 10.000 on May 1, 2006 Robert joined 7/14/2001 and for the past 1269 days has posted 7241 posts and should post an additional 2759 posts to reach 10,000 on May 1, 2006. Gail joined 12/9/2002 and for the past 756 days has posted 4978 posts and should post an additional 5022 posts to reach 10.000 on Feb 14, 2007. Shane joined 2/2/2002 and for the past 1096 days has posted 4304 posts and should post an additional 5696 posts to reach 10.000 on Jan 2, 2008 Naomi joined 7/15//2002 and for the past 902 days has posted 4228 posts and should post an additional 5772 posts to reach 10.000 on May 14, 2008 Neil joined 8/10/2000 and for the past 1607 days has posted 5180 posts and should post an additional 4820 posts to reach 10,000 on Feb 16, 2009. Stan joined 3/1/2000 and for the past 1769 days has posted 4678 posts and should post an additional 5322 posts to reach 10.000 on Aug 11, 2010. Fran joined 3/17/2000 and for the past 1758 days has posted 518 posts and should post an additional 9482 posts to reach 10.000 in the year 2158.??? You will have to bury me with my laptop and an internet connection! Now that I have counted days and years; these people went and skewed everything by MOTIVATION. Some of these dear folks have broken their averages in the past week! Amelia went from an average of 5.7 posts per day to 19 posts per day. Nico went from an average of 11.2 posts per day to 16.2 posts per day. Robert is steady as he goes with only a slight difference. Gail went and got a life and her average is way down. Shane went from an average of 3.9 posts per day to 9 posts per day. Naomi average is a bit down Neil is steady as he goes with only a slight difference Stan went from an average of 2.6 posts per day to 5.9 posts per day. Fran has a life and will not be participating in this insanity! The ones to watch are Amelia and Nico. If Shane speeds up a bit more he could catch up. Robert could pick up his momentum and whiz right on out. [:"blue"]Can they keep up the momentum?

Moderators Bravus Posted January 2, 2005 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2005 Heh, I'm a relative n00b here: and even on my other forum (the William Gibson Board) where I've been posting for a year, and am at least as posty as I am here, I'm still only coming up on 3000. Not even sure what my stats are here, but... I only have 761 posts in the 5 months since September, so a rate of roughly 5 posts a day. At that rate I'd hit 10k about this time of year in 2010! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Quote Truth is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Bravus; I did do the math on yours but you went over 2009. We do want this challenge to come to an end. Right? Between you and me; I only listed Stan because he's the boss. Understand? And I also did it because he has escalated his action. He is boot scootin’ right up to the contenders! I included my stats because I posted the stuff so I wanted everyone to know, I am hopelessly lost as to winning this challenge; therefore I have no conflict of interests. Go catch them, Bravus. If you double what Amelia and Nico are doing, you could also win! It is all MOTIVATION. The one with the most stamina and staying power wins!

Moderators Nan Posted January 3, 2005 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2005 The quick way to get post numbers up is to have some of those word games David McQueen used to start - some of them went over 50 pages.

Moderators Bravus Posted January 3, 2005 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2005 The William Gibson Board (I know, it may be tasteless to mention my other love!) actually has a thread specifically for 'post pumping' - where those who care about such things can post 10 or 20 posts of one line messages to increase their post count. I don't think we want to go that way here - apart from anything else, all that costs bandwidth and storage space. So, although it's being a bit of a spoilsport in the context of this context, I think I'll aim to 'pump' the quality rather than the quantity. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Quote Truth is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need someone/everyone to make 124 more posts before midnight (by the way, whose clock are we using for the date of the 150,000 posts contest? PST, I hope . . .)
