Nice. I've actually been posting a lot less than I have in previous years. This just shows how few registered posters there are on LetsRun.

Interesting stuf

What was the total number of posts? What % of posts are from the top 50 posters?

This doesn't follow the 80:20 rule.
Only about 10% of indexed posts are from the top 50 posters.
370k posts
37.5l from top 50

Let me know any other analyses people would like to see.

Aw!
I could have been top ten if I stuck with one handle.

How did you do this?

So the Seb Coe doping apologist, the Paula Radcliffe doping apologist and the Kenyan doping apologist all highly ranked.

Even worse, 1479 posts not worth reading just from one person.

I would have thought I was on that list, but you know, multiple identities.

Interesting to see that jamin only manages to get one post/day past the moderators. Compare that to Malmo, who provides free content twice/day, and rojoco-founder who averages about five posts every day since he retired from coaching.

Nice analysis. I jumped from 70 to 39 when accounting for the shift key. I'm not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed to be on that list. F.

Deleted threads and at the time this is detected what was the last known count of posts.
This actually interests me to that extend that I have once experimented with Python myself(I had a Rossi-thread-scraper generating avg count per day, some Jupyter matplotlib stuff).

Maybe you can gather it from a different angle.
Instead of counting total posts, count total amount of threads posted in by each username.

That really takes out someone who is real talkative in one thread or two.

The only thing that keeps me from being depressed that I spent enough time on LRC to be in the top 15 is the rationalization that someone out there took the time to compile all of the posts I made.

Still, very cool. Thanks :-)
