Re: How Many Posts.....?
the only flaw I see there, CO, is if you've gone to BRC, and been on eplaya, about the same number of years, but, started going at the end of the last century, you will be ranked way lower, than a person who started this century
200 posts
eplaya 8 years (04)
BRC 8 years
first year 04
rank: 50
2000 posts
eplaya 14 years
playa 14 years
first year 98
rank: 20.4
of course, the fortune of your statement, is that it matters, not at all.

Re: How Many Posts.....?
Well, yeah.
If you started going in 99, started on eplaya in 01, your numbers will be vastly different from someone that started going in 01 but was on eplaya since 99.
I figured I would try out the "speculative & meaningless" numbers game that so many people in the ticket forum like. Now we can play 'burnier than thou' with a meaningless scoring system!

So, nothing can be learned by going to profiles and looking at the "posts per day" number.

Re: How Many Posts.....?
I want to tell all of you that it was not my intent to stir up a "burnier than thou" back and forth from any of you here. I am an avid reader of these boards and contribute when I think I have something to add to the discussion. I have enjoyed all the dialogue and have learned a lot from all of you, burn related or otherwise. Again, my thanks. Oh, and according to the CO's equation I am a 77.83. Whatever the hell that means

Personally, I try not to post random BS posts like this one. It takes a lot of effort to hit the reply button sometimes. However, I wanted to play with The CO's math, to which I have a score of 79.72 (we only need two significant digits in this answer right professor?).
Suck it.
