bondct Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I was bored (had a few free seconds), and as I was reading the forum, it seemed like I was always talking to the same people... so i did some math... there are 640 users that have at least 1 post (I did not count the zero post or still validating people). there are 412 threads on the forum there are 5149 replies to the 412 threads that makes total forum activity 5561 posts the top 20 users on the forum make up 5% of the total forum the top 20 users have 1832 posts which is 33% of all forum activity (not including this post) of the top 20, the lowest poster has 38 posts... so that said, to the top 20... you ever feel like you are talking to yourself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netromancer Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I spend alot of time chatting it up in-game. I check the forums alot, but on the topics I read,usually someone has already said what I would have said, but better. So I don't say much.

Terrell [BT] Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yes. At least sometimes, particularily when I talk about more plasma beams for JEs. Or no energy immunity for orefield guardians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amethyst Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 An unnecessary post so I have 38 posts so that nearly gets me into the top 20 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondct Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 An unnecessary post so I have 38 posts so that nearly gets me into the top 20 ? actually the cutoff at 20 was by mistake... i took 5% of the total posts when I meant to take 5% of the total users... not that any of this means anything... its just converstation...

mistergreen Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 At least we don't have the dregs of EBPortal posting stuff just to up their post count. Then again we don't have all those lame forums post games here either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmir[IS] Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I talk to myself all the time so it bothers me little, but what does bother me is the number of folks who tell me don't use the forums because of bad experiences on other forums. In any case, its here for those who want to use it, and there's things in the background no one sees going on because the team uses it. As it stands now, and I admit I'm not sure when how or why this started working, you can pull it up at the news terminals in stations with many limitations. You can't log in so only get guest access, but I'm pretty sure you can browse some stuff. I plan on seeing how I can put this to good use. Maybe then folks will have more of an interest. Imagine being able to post items for sale and order ores and components via the terminal. Might be handy then. We can only hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorik Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I generally just read, as I have forgotten most of the info I knew in live. Occasionally I remember something but am usually beaten to the answer by one of the top 20 forum lurkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moche Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 i feel like i talk to myself all the time, i think 2/3rds of my posts are rebutals in the form of "read my post again apparently you didn't get it cause otherwise you wouldn't be talking" or otherwise saying the same thing again.
