What's up with this?

Country of poster - at time of post is fine, noise from holidays should be small.

I commend you on compiling these statistics. I pity those poor souls who may post, on average, up to a hundred times a day!

11,311 posts sounds like a lot but we are talking 16 years so that comes out to less than 2 posts per day (1.9).

I'm disappointed actually in my productivity. Well I guess when I was dominating the college coaching ranks, I didn't have time to post as much as I do now as I was doing about 7 per day a few years it looks like so when I was coaching I must have never been posting.

The sad thing is I don't know what the top 10 posters are known for. Can someone summarize what people are known for? Please fill out the following for the others.

Most Active Users (by post count) / What they are known for

1. Flagpole (16017)

2. malmo (15914)

3. luv2run (15349)

4. Mr. Obvious (14785)

5. agip (13472)

6. Bad Wigins (13464)

7. HRE (11476)

8. rojo (11311) - Brilliant running knowledge, also known for general anti-authority/establishment posts.

9. J.R. (11209)

10. ttc (10240)

Unfortunately I have no data available on the origin of the post (don't have an IP addresses or anything of the sort to look at)

Are you counting both Flagpole and Flagpole Willy? He also had a fair number of other fairly well known and frequent pseudonyms that could be added to his championship total post count.

I was just counting unique usernames for that. If someone is able to give me a list of all of his different usernames I can calculate a more accurate amount of posts for him

In order to find the most mentioned runner I would probably need a list of all runners we are interested in to compile that which in itself may be tricky.

I was considering doing stuff like that automatically but its no easy feat to calculate

I guarantee you they store IP addresses in whatever MySQL db they use to run this site. Also, can we get a LetsRun API set up? Idk what it would be for but if you ever took LetsRun public then having an API would add about 2 billion to your valuation.

Yeah I believe they do store that information, however its not publicly available right now

Not sure if this something that I'm proud of. Although I've been doing a lost of posting in the live race threads.

Averaging over 10+ posts a day on a running message board is most definitely something you should not be proud of.

It seems like I post a lot, but I guess not.

If they counted comments on the live teleconference recordings, I'd probably be on there.

I have it from a reliable source that one of these posters posts less than half the time as his registered handle.

I am sure that half, if not more, of my posts this year are from live race threads and posting while on the crapper at work. But you're right, I need to scale it the F back.

Flagpole will never admit that he's "Question Asker," "Jesse was indeed a friend," etc!

Well, I mean, there's DNS poisoning. Not that I'm advocating that.

It's called the Mike Rossi effect.

The Brojos are stvpid for giving in to his threats and closing the thread. It will cost them lots of $$$ in ad revenue. Which website shuts down its most popular topic ever?
