Some Math
Malexander, you are the math guy around here, but this is what I estimated in the simplest terms using 13,000 posts:
If a Member posts a minimum of 30 posts each day for 433 days straight then they can catch up to me, however by then I would probably have about 800-1500 more on my count.
If they did 50 posts a day then they can do it in about 260 days, at 80 posts per day (a real task) then it can be done in 163 days.
Well, I was taking into consideration your post average as well. Currently you are posting 11 a day, on average. For the member who posts 30 a day, in 433 days they would have about 13000, but you would have (433*11) = 4763 more posts which puts you at 18,268. Mathematically speaking, yes, someone could catch you given that they post at a higher rate than you are posting. The problem is keeping that high of a rate consistently.
I meant to say this soon after it happened, but those 125 posts you had in one day really couldn't have helped anyone's chances with catching you, JB. I think my jaw dropped to the floor when I looked at the post count for the day and there you were with 125 and the second highest poster had about 12. It was also pretty funny because it was right around the time this discussion started.
Yes, that was kind of ironic, but posting messages is natural for me. I do not have to 'fight' with it as others do. The words come into my head and I merely type it quickly before I forget - I guess it is a love - a passion - it would essentially take the same level of involvement from someone else to make it happen. There are people like this, I have seen it elsewhere, that person just hasn't joined here yet . When they do, then they will be the One.
I think I want the challange of trying to average 50 posts per day,I think I can seriously get it .Like I said before once I find a site that suites me then I stick to it.
Jman1094, I wish you all the best if you can do it, but keep in mind two things that you may or may not be aware of:
1. Regular Members have a daily post allowance of 15. To get higher than that you will need to Upgrade. See the Compare page for a Comparison of Memberships
2. Each post must follow our Constructive Posting Policy. You will notice that all the messages here are well written.
Now, barring those two points above, if you are serious, then I am sure you can do it, in fact, I would be mused to see it done if each post is a worthwhile read.
Seems like Jman1094 lost steam (activity rating 7%). Maybe my two points scared him.
After giving it further thought: If LDS_forever becomes home bound in a month or so then she might be the best chance for overtaking me. She is already half way there and I know she can pump out posts when she wants to.
