by 34 Comments

Just for the hell of it and having a slow day here, I analyzed first 8 days of the year until now, possibly one of the quietest times of the year to see how busy it is and how frequently people post. See comments *

* includes Wordle stuff

Comments

  1. There were 19 new topics to discuss, posted by 16 people. All posted 1 only except for Black Celebration, Junior Wells and Tiggerlion (2 each). That’s about 2.5 new topics a day.

    There were a total of 1160 posts in this time period (includes old topics before this period). That’s about 145 posts per day

    No. of unique users who posted was 111

    Scores on the doors: the top 10 most frequent posters :

    9= salwarpe 29
    9= SteveT 29
    8 Junior Wells 32
    7 Tiggerlion 35
    6 mikethep 41
    5 fentonsteve 47
    4 fitterstoke 49
    3 Lodestone of Wrongness 52
    2 dai 55
    1 Kaisfatdad 56

    I need to up my game!

  4. Shaky evidence that internet persona differs from real life persona.
    I will normally talk too much, have an opinion on anything, and make fatuous comments for the sake of it.
    Yet here, I’m not making the top 10 .. something of a win and proof to myself that I can shut up for 5 minutes
    (although Mrs D will probably disagree)

  5. 98.23% of my comments were Wordling related – I think Blackstar has not weathered well, I have no idea what the vast majority of the AW Toppermost albums of 25 sounds like, I hate airpods with an all-consuming passion, I’m on the last episode of Stranger Things so can’t really contribute, I love you all

  7. If the rest of you all do Wordle (which I don’t), then I may need to turn down the ‘Mike Giggler’* act a bit. I didn’t knows I was so prolific.

    My excuse is I sit at my desk all day, just a quick ctrl-tab away from these pages, which give a quick release of dopamine when the network is dawdling or I’ve successfully completed some of the day’s email/ Teams requests that flow into my inbox.

    • I actually post quite a bit around this time after I have just woken up and a little in the middle of the night being an insomniac. At work I am mostly working in a test lab and find time for browsing/posting often while waiting for an ATE (automatic test equipment) run to come to an end.

  8. I do wonder what the scores would be if the wordle thread was stripped out. My score would probably have been higher if I’d played this month I play against a friend and started posting again on another group on Facebook, so I thought I wouldn’t play this month. I’m glad I didn’t play as I crashed out the other day (EIGHT).

    • I was thinking along the same lines…a lot of people seem to only come to post on Wordle threads rather than actually contributing something of interest to the site.

      • Members currently playing Wordle and therefore posting at least once a day:

        I would not suggest, as you plainly are, that any of the above are shrinking violets who rarely comment on all things Afterword. The Wordlers have discussed several times before moving our game elsewhere on the internet but everyone of us visit the site every day so what bloody harm are we causing you!!
        Some people hog the front row of the bar and comment on everything. Others stand near the pool table and occasionally engage. Others sit in the corner and sit their pints quietly and reflectively. Our pub welcomes every damn one of them. Or perhaps I can’t say such things cos I live in France??
