The Average Member on this site

Some stats about members of this site...

Avg member 19.85 posts
The Standard Deveation of these avg posts in 79.66 (wow)
The Median post is 2
There are 921 members.
The most (Govtcheez) has 1097 posts
210 diffrent people have 0.
188 have 1.
And 749 have 10 or fewer.

For all you statistics students:
Q1 is 1.
Q3 is 7.
That means that the middle 50% of all members have 1-7 posts. (so i guess after 2 the number of posts a person is likely to have goes way up).

Anyway...just some random things i thought you might like to know....and then probably comment on till it is dragged off to un obscure topic...ready...set...tagentize this topic! (i love making up verbs)

NOTE: ALL DATA IS AS OF 15:30gmt on 10/16/01

Actually, according to the empirical rule, won't approx 67% or so be between quartiles?

> The most (Govtcheez) has 1097 posts

Strange - a month ago I had over 1100...

"The Standard of these avg posts in 79.66 (wow) "

Is that the standard deviation? Never heard just "standard" before ;).

yes standard deveation...whoops hehe ...

"Actually, according to the empirical rule, won't approx 67% or so be between quartiles?"

But if I'm not mistaken (and I very well could be), doesn't this apply to only to the normal curve?

I think we're both slightly wrong...I'll look it up

Oops - my mistake... I think our curve would be a little more bottom heavy than that requires... (gimme a break - I'm only in my 2nd week of Prob&stat)

ok Q3-Q1= IQR which is the interval of the inner 50%...there so the IQR is 6. (and yes i know i can't spell/type)

I just tried to edit a message of mine. When I clcked edit, the screen clears more or less instantly, after a second or two the logo and the "User CP" to "Home" buttons appear, then nothing. The progress bar is almost the whole way accross, and I sat with an otherwise blank screen. I finally gave up after 3 minutes. There is another thread complaining about this very same thing. It is not limited to me.

Also...

the search button takes quite a while to load aswell. I'm on a 10mbps LAN, the connection to the outside world is 512kbps DSL i believe, it shouldn't take that long.

adios,

Maybe they didn't use an efficient search algorithm.

Not that...

The search results load quickly, the search page is what takes a while to load.

adios,

Who I am

Who I am is a mystery. The webmaster knows, and I know.That's enough. Isn't it?
As to the editting problem, it is beinging looked into and a solution will hopefully be forthcoming.

DAMN! you figured me out....maybe we should consider that surgery!!

siamese twins? ehh... i prefer the superglue approach: kermi and the webmaster ran into each other (literally) at a superglue convention whilst they where both coated in the stuff, causing them to be stuck together, then, they both slipped and fell into a bucket of amnesia causing fluid, which made them both forget about this. When they wok up, the thought that they were siamese twins, even though they were only superglued together.

DISGUISED

Just a thought

although people don't always post.......doesn't mean that they aren't recieving valuable knowledge from this board......is posting really the point? ......or is learning?

Some people have an obsession with these kind of stats, others don't give a damn. Do whatever feels right for you!
