if you are a lurker without an account you should sign up for an account just to vote in this poll. otherwise it won't be science.

iatee, Friday, 20 January 2012 01:09 (fourteen years ago)

i read ilx pretty thoroughly every day but i don't actually post that much compared to a lot of people here. i've got like 4000 posts in 5 years on the site. voted the 2nd option i guess

iatee, Friday, 20 January 2012 14:29 (fourteen years ago)

daily, more or less

Steamtable Willie (WmC), Friday, 20 January 2012 14:31 (fourteen years ago)

the people who come here once or twice a month probably won't see this thread in time to vote fyi

Planned Perrintweet (some dude), Friday, 20 January 2012 14:31 (fourteen years ago)

that's why I said post not visit

iatee, Friday, 20 January 2012 14:34 (fourteen years ago)

just sayin

Planned Perrintweet (some dude), Friday, 20 January 2012 14:34 (fourteen years ago)

no it's a good point

iatee, Friday, 20 January 2012 14:35 (fourteen years ago)

too much probably :/

daily

Autumn Almanac, Friday, 20 January 2012 14:37 (fourteen years ago)

somehow i have said 15,000+ things on ILX. i think i've been here maybe 5 years or so now, so about 10 messages a day.

needed options for hourly, minutely, secondly

ledge, Friday, 20 January 2012 15:35 (fourteen years ago)

In bursts then with the disappearing. Just did some quick math and I've averaged 300-ish posts a year in my nearly eight (!!!) years here, so I guess I sorta average out to posting once a day.

SNEEZED GOING DOWN STEPS, PAIN WHEN PUTTING SOCKS ON (Deric W. Haircare), Friday, 20 January 2012 17:41 (fourteen years ago)

I used to post every day. Now I sometimes forget about ILX for weeks and then come back. I miss it terribly and should make more of an effort to visit it more.

nathom, Friday, 20 January 2012 17:42 (fourteen years ago)

how do you see the number of post you have made?

JacobSanders, Friday, 20 January 2012 17:47 (fourteen years ago)

I think on the main page.

nathom, Friday, 20 January 2012 17:49 (fourteen years ago)

few times a week but i consider myself semi lurker

click on the Boards link at the top, and then it should tell you how many posts you've made

Don't know how I never noticed that before, 759 messages seems low, but I also had a different log in name years ago.

people should vote in this, remember this is for science

iatee, Thursday, 26 January 2012 00:06 (fourteen years ago)

I voted (semi-lurker).

Upt0eleven, Thursday, 26 January 2012 00:10 (fourteen years ago)

^ not enough

teaky frigger (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 January 2012 00:12 (fourteen years ago)

needs an option for 'every couple seconds'

teaky frigger (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 January 2012 00:13 (fourteen years ago)

daily, except for the days after the nights i've been drunk, for fear i posted something untoward

otoh, i didn't see this thread until just now so maybe that's healthy

mookieproof, Thursday, 26 January 2012 00:51 (fourteen years ago)

pretty damn often, obv

Aimless, Thursday, 26 January 2012 01:49 (fourteen years ago)

I should post more, but I generally only read ILX at work (where posting anything meaningful seems too time-consuming (yes, I know)) or in the evening when I'm h1gh and my posts would lack their usual cogency.

get ready for the banter (NotEnough), Thursday, 26 January 2012 10:14 (fourteen years ago)

'meaningful' cmon now is this the bar we're setting for ourselves

teaky frigger (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 January 2012 10:16 (fourteen years ago)

not "meaningful" like a bob dylan lyric, just not ill-thought gibberish.

get ready for the banter (NotEnough), Thursday, 26 January 2012 10:35 (fourteen years ago)

like a bob dylan performance

teaky frigger (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 January 2012 10:37 (fourteen years ago)

read ilx everyday, but have posted like 1000 messages in 7-8 years so yeah, semi-lurker, without a doubt.

Jibe, Thursday, 26 January 2012 10:39 (fourteen years ago)

"one of those people who posts in bursts then disappears for long periods", kinda lol bcz once I abruptly stopped posting on ilx after someone zinged me, the ilx surely is an intimidating business

V79, Thursday, 26 January 2012 10:40 (fourteen years ago)

Apparently I've posted 590 times and I've been posting since 2004. I guess my vote of semi-lurker is right.

treefell, Thursday, 26 January 2012 10:41 (fourteen years ago)

Never..

I want your nose, your shoes and your unicycle (dog latin), Thursday, 26 January 2012 12:03 (fourteen years ago)

i post every day but only on a small handful of threads. i can't keep up with the volume of stuff here enough to comment meaningfully. "meaningfully" because i would like to keep the puns/snark to a minimum.

m white btw (get bent), Thursday, 26 January 2012 12:06 (fourteen years ago)

semi-lurker

Popture, Thursday, 26 January 2012 12:14 (fourteen years ago)

somehow i have said 15,000+ things on ILX. i think i've been here maybe 5 years or so now, so about 10 messages a day.

― do it, Rockapella! (Z S), Friday, January 20, 2012 2:38 PM (6 days ago)

^ almost exactly this, except I'm at 17,000+. Rare these days that I go a day without posting - I did manage a whole week recently, but only 'cause we were down.

I totally keep to a handful of threads, though, because if I ranged more widely I'd spend my life reading, posting & (mostly) updating. I probably shouldn't've clicked on this one tbh.

Ismael Klata, Thursday, 26 January 2012 12:14 (fourteen years ago)

i dunno but i feel i should possibly be aiming for that approach

teaky frigger (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 January 2012 12:18 (fourteen years ago)

8,000 posts in 8 years = about 3 posts per day.

The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 26 January 2012 12:31 (fourteen years ago)

where can i see my stats?

I want your nose, your shoes and your unicycle (dog latin), Thursday, 26 January 2012 12:37 (fourteen years ago)

7,416 posts/32 months (deducted a month for downtime) = 7.6 per day.

clemenza, Thursday, 26 January 2012 12:37 (fourteen years ago)

click 'boards' up there ^

Ismael Klata, Thursday, 26 January 2012 12:38 (fourteen years ago)

Just 7,325 messages. Is that right? Doesn't sound right...

I want your nose, your shoes and your unicycle (dog latin), Thursday, 26 January 2012 12:39 (fourteen years ago)

created this account approximately one year ago, have posted 2,942 messages =~ 8.26 messages per day, feels like a lot less

flopson, Thursday, 26 January 2012 15:55 (fourteen years ago)

sometimes i feel like a semi-lurker but some of the self described semi-lurkers itt are totally anonymous to me so maybe not

flopson, Thursday, 26 January 2012 15:56 (fourteen years ago)

nah you're not a semi-lurker

iatee, Thursday, 26 January 2012 15:59 (fourteen years ago)

These stats surely only count from early 2007? Because we all lost our identities when the board went down at the end of 2006 and a new version replaced it a month or so later. I know some people opened a new account with the same name, but lots of people (including me) didn't so there's no way the system can possibly know how many posts I made before then.

Woucher! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 26 January 2012 16:19 (fourteen years ago)

FWIW just under 6,000 posts in 5 years (or 8 years if it magically knows my old name). So about three posts a day.

Woucher! (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 26 January 2012 16:21 (fourteen years ago)

that's never right, surely

teaky frigger (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 January 2012 16:31 (fourteen years ago)

little over 1 post per day for 8 years

jesus christ i have posted 35000 things to here

blurgh (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 January 2012 19:56 (fourteen years ago)

I don't have detailed Rock Hardy stats, but it looks like I've been averaging about a post a day for 7 to 8 years. That seems really low, though. I know I write several posts a day to get stuff off my chest, then never hit the submit button, but I would have thought that I actually posted closer to 3x/daily.

"Blue" Meme Tyranny (WmC), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:04 (fourteen years ago)

yeah this was less an attempt at separating the 10 post a day and 3 post a day people and more an attempt at getting an idea of how many lurker-lurkers there were

iatee, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:32 (fourteen years ago)

Jibe shld get an upgrade from semi-lurker to whatever one higher is. dude is always otm.

voted every day. been posting about 3 years, lurked for about a year before that. even so, avg about 20 posts a day which is ridic

(tbf most of those came from darragh baiting me into naive footballing opinions and i have started to learn from my own stupidity.)

Aesop Rizzle (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:49 (fourteen years ago)

do lurkers have accounts?

flopson, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:54 (fourteen years ago)

wish i had lurked before posting

flopson, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:54 (fourteen years ago)

I told them to make accounts at the top of this thread and if they don't they are going to ruin science, so I hope they did

iatee, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:55 (fourteen years ago)

the problem with sb is you can't hit those fuckin lurkers

teaky frigger (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 January 2012 21:14 (fourteen years ago)

i love ilx

surm, Thursday, 26 January 2012 21:15 (fourteen years ago)

would be a good site imo

teaky frigger (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 January 2012 21:16 (fourteen years ago)

May will be my 11th year of intermittent posting, but I definitely had a 3 or 4 year break where I visited rarely and lurked only - 4,064 messages under this login.. which I started with 6 years ago, Christ I am getting old.. average of 1.8 posts per day by my FFM count. Math!

i love ilx too
i also love lamp

estela, Thursday, 26 January 2012 23:18 (fourteen years ago)

I dont thik I post every day anymore, though I do read ILX most days simply because I'm at work and I work with Internet so its just There. you know?

But I suppose my record speaks for me: Ive made 44,643 posts since Feb 2003. Yike.

thanks to denial, I'm immortal! (Trayce), Thursday, 26 January 2012 23:30 (fourteen years ago)

of the 9,729,264 messages that have been posted i must have read at minimum 2 million. when i found ilx in 2001 ile was so new i was able to read every existing thread in a few days.

(i was supposed to be finishing a master's thesis and was doing everything i could to avoid it, i also around that time watched an entire five day cricket match even though i hated cricket and couldn't understand the scoring.)

estela, Thursday, 26 January 2012 23:33 (fourteen years ago)

I post a lot but only because I treat ilx like an IRC chat room or maybe an irl conversation. I'm considering changing over to a more formal, agonied format where I spend half an hour on every post, editing the message box, just to maybe improve writing skills or become more principled. but then I'd miss out on all the fun zing wars

dayo, Thursday, 26 January 2012 23:45 (fourteen years ago)

yeah I think ilx has made me a worse writer
