I just like to know these sort of things.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 5 January 2003 17:56 (twenty-three years ago)

It's not me - I've started like, five or something. I'm thread shy.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 5 January 2003 17:58 (twenty-three years ago)

My record is 5-10 at most. I feel inadequate when it comes to coming up with questions.

― Nicole (Nicole), Sunday, 5 January 2003 17:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I am 100+

― Graham (graham), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Kim =15 threads
Nicole =23

― Graham (graham), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:17 (twenty-three years ago)

i have only started 38 threads?

that cant be right surely?

― gareth (gareth), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:19 (twenty-three years ago)

I was wrong! I can barely think of any I even started.

― Nicole (Nicole), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:19 (twenty-three years ago)

232? Wow! Of course, if you subtract the variations on "I hate living in London", that brings it down to a more reasonable 12

― dave q, Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Does my being higher in all-time posting (I think) than in thread-starting make me modest? That can't be right.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Martin = 45th with 55 threads
Gareth = 388 threads

Nicole, look here.

― Graham (graham), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:23 (twenty-three years ago)

so, only 2 people have started more threads than me? scary! the thing is, i dont think iu'm even in the top20 for actual posts? this must mean i only post on my own threads or something. sorry!

― gareth (gareth), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:26 (twenty-three years ago)

I have started The. Stupidest. Threads. Ever. Party of Five? Jessica Simpson? Le Sigh.

― Nicole (Nicole), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah I would have guessed Anthony.

― Tom (Groke), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:27 (twenty-three years ago)

― Graham (graham), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:44 (twenty-three years ago)

wow! I like the new threads started feature on the users page!

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 5 January 2003 18:48 (twenty-three years ago)

It required no effort whatsoever. The numbers on that page are a bit different because it's probably including more email addresses.

― Graham (graham), Sunday, 5 January 2003 19:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I note that Tim H has never started a thread on ILE! And Emma has a high placing and far less questions than me!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 5 January 2003 19:50 (twenty-three years ago)

i am scared

― anthony easton (anthony), Sunday, 5 January 2003 20:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Are you going to start a thread about it?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 5 January 2003 21:11 (twenty-three years ago)

why do you tease me loser

― anthony easton (anthony), Sunday, 5 January 2003 21:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm surprised I'm as high as I am. Uh, on that list. Er, yes.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 5 January 2003 21:47 (twenty-three years ago)

That's still only about one question per 100 answers, Ned.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 5 January 2003 21:54 (twenty-three years ago)

One has to start somewhere.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 5 January 2003 21:56 (twenty-three years ago)

there should be some stat for whose threads have got the most replies.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Sunday, 5 January 2003 22:52 (twenty-three years ago)

― Graham (graham), Monday, 6 January 2003 00:07 (twenty-three years ago)

which Mark is that? (ie not me or Mark H?)

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 6 January 2003 00:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Mark "mpytlik" P. All numbers are based on people started more than 10 threads, obv.

(And nicole, you've started 17 other threads with your other address.

― Graham (graham), Monday, 6 January 2003 00:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Let me now salute g-kit, Kim and Spencer, my Top-50 comrades in replying to and not starting threads over the last 30 days. We are the little people who make you all look good.

(that is, if I am reading the statsc*ck right)

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 6 January 2003 03:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I think I'm at 1500 or 1600 total posts now - and only 15 threads are mine! Wow. So my posting ratio has got to be at least 100 to one.

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 6 January 2003 04:12 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd like to thank God, my family, and the fine, fine people at "Ah fuck it, what do you all look like?" for this award.

Who's Mark H anyway? We already have too many.

Also: Graham can you star me name up there please?

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 6 January 2003 04:29 (twenty-three years ago)

(I like how Julio managed the same ratio with two different addresses)

― Graham (graham), Monday, 6 January 2003 04:43 (twenty-three years ago)

heh. I like that as well.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 6 January 2003 08:23 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm quite proud of being top of that chart. That's nonsensical, I know.

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 6 January 2003 10:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I am one replying motherfucker.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Monday, 6 January 2003 12:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I love statistics! 31 replies isn't bad considering I start threads about going to a shop and the pockets in jeans.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 6 January 2003 18:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Gee, I wonder which thread is totally skewing my results...

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 6 January 2003 18:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Wow, I've only started 6 threads (I modified that string search thing above). That's good.

― Aaron W, Monday, 6 January 2003 18:27 (twenty-three years ago)

It's nice to see that the statscock (& interest in the statscock) has evolved - less hardcore lust, more tenderness (& more satisfaction, too).

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 6 January 2003 19:40 (twenty-three years ago)

the three thread-virgins are my idols

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 6 January 2003 20:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I've worked out who has ended the most as well, but don't have the heart to say who. Here's who's ended the least, in term of the number of threads they've posted on.
1) Jonnie No. 5 (1 of 683) 693.0
2) Andrew L (1 of 554) 554.0
3) Sam chirombo (1 of 545) 545.0
4) Emma (4 of 1684) 421.0
5) Anna (2 of 838) 419.0
6) Ellie (1 of 391) 391.0
7) DavidM (1 of 378) 378.0
8) RickyT (6 of 2187) 364.5
9) Jody (1 of 348) 348.0
10) Tom (9 of 2910) 323.3

― Graham (graham), Monday, 6 January 2003 21:42 (twenty-three years ago)

This is the best list yet.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 6 January 2003 21:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Can you tell me what Jonnie's thread was so that I can make him even more perfect?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 6 January 2003 21:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Hang on, I just tried and it seems Jonnie has ended 19. Ignore that list.

― Graham (graham), Monday, 6 January 2003 22:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Tim Hopkins is indeed proud of that statistic so much so that last month he cajoled me into starting a thread he wanted to, about christmas presents I believe. Do not trust this wicked man.

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 6 January 2003 22:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I reckon I've killed the most threads.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 6 January 2003 22:39 (twenty-three years ago)

OK, it seems I cut the last digit off people's score with grep. The new top ten (limited to the 138 people who've posted >500 times) is:
1) Edna + Jerry (8 of 408) 51.0
2) Jonnie (19 of 683) 35.9
3) Emma (49 of 1684) 34.4
4) RickyT (67 of 2187) 32.6
5) Tom (90 of 2910) 32.3
6) Andrew L (18 of 554) 30.8
7) Sam (18 of 545) 30.2
8) Katie (60 of 1760) 29.3
9) Anna (29 of 838) 28.9
10) Ellie (14 of 391) 27.9
...
45) jel (230 of 4132) 18.0
...

― Graham (graham), Monday, 6 January 2003 22:44 (twenty-three years ago)

(though in terms of purely number of threads, that puts you eighth most)

― Graham (graham), Monday, 6 January 2003 22:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I've killed 230, oh that's alot.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 6 January 2003 22:48 (twenty-three years ago)

who has contributed to the most individual threads?

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 6 January 2003 22:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm rather surprised by that statistic. I had previously had myself down as a fearsome thread killer. I'm even more surprised I didn't feature highly in the threads started/messages posted list. I honestly can't remember the last time I posted a question.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 6 January 2003 22:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Jel: Ned, Mark, You, Nick, Dan, Tom, Pete, Mike Hanle y, MArtin, RickyT

― Graham (graham), Monday, 6 January 2003 23:02 (twenty-three years ago)

thanks graham! I think my lust for stats is now satiated :)

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 6 January 2003 23:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Ooh! ooh! How many threads have I killed? I bet it's alot! I'm gonna win!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 7 January 2003 13:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Let me now salute g-kit, Kim and Spencer, my Top-50 comrades in replying to and not starting threads over the last 30 days. We are the little people who make you all look good.

i think i only started one thread ever. and that was due to accomlishing a major lifetime achievement (the time i smashed my face in).

all these stats are frighteningly interesting though.

― g-kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 7 January 2003 15:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Christ. No wonder it feels like I never have enough time to get things done.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 7 January 2003 15:11 (twenty-three years ago)

i want to know if i've ended the most threads. i bet i have.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 7 January 2003 21:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Thread Virgin = Yay! I've been meaning to start a thread at some point, but maybe I'll just hold off. C'mon Tim, you know you need new answers now!
