If I made a slot machine it would have 1-9-2.

I went with 117. Though I think you should lower the post count limit. One of the first things I do when I see a person I'm not familiar with is I check their stats. I see where they like to post, how much and how often they post along with when they first joined the forums. Then I know if I am dealing with a new member or an old veteran crawling out of retirement. It also gives me a possible idea of how likely they will respond again.

I have noticed that a number of people have surprisingly low total post counts for the amount of time they have been here.

Yes, there is Rbtr, but also Yoshi1001 (who has been here over a year with only 68 posts because he mostly just contributes to the podcast discussions). There are a number of others as well.

how many ACTIVE posters are there.....

if they have only posted 20 times, they aren't too active

Stratos · « **Reply #28 on:** November 14, 2009, 03:58:08 PM »

There are a few newer posters who only post in the retroactive/podcast discussion threads. Or would you rather not count them since they don't pay attention to the rest of the forums?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #29 on:** November 14, 2009, 04:17:36 PM »

yeah. but there are also people that only post in the talkback threads and I wouldn't count them either.
Thems ain't the forums. These is the forums.

Shouldn't someone who's "active" have to have posted within the last 30 days, not just logged in?

EasyCure · « **Reply #31 on:** November 14, 2009, 06:03:43 PM »

Bnm and insano both make good points:

Podcast discussions and talkback threads don't count much because some people treat them like a comments section on a blog; one post but no discussion.

Because we don't get news as recent as most sites, talkback-only posters don't get to post often

Also, only posting in one particular section of the forum means you're inactive from the rest of them. I try to get around to as many of the forums sections as possible., that makes me a pretty active poster.

Doesn't "The Princeess" log in every day and not post? Should this person count as active?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #33 on:** November 14, 2009, 06:25:20 PM »

no, she should count as present, but not active.

EasyCure · « **Reply #34 on:** November 14, 2009, 06:39:31 PM »

Still??? Geez.. is she still stalking me?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #35 on:** November 14, 2009, 06:43:50 PM »

Actually she isn't on the most time online anymore so I guess she got bored.

EasyCure · « **Reply #36 on:** November 14, 2009, 06:53:06 PM »

Id be bored too if I never posted a damn thing.

There's a poster by that name? I thought you were just talking about GP.

She changed her name to Ssecnip Eht which is Princess backwards. She still logs time online. It's just that others log more time on than her. At least last I checked she still actively viewed the site. But I stopped checking her profile shortly after she fell off the top 10 online list.

Probably, but there's not an easy way for me to determine this unless I go through each user's posts individually.

D_Average · « **Reply #41 on:** November 15, 2009, 02:23:18 PM »

The answer is obvious. 202.

Arbok · « **Reply #42 on:** November 15, 2009, 04:12:46 PM »

I said 97; however, if we are counting lurkers who simply posted 100 posts over the years and not ones who are actively posting nowadays... it could be far greater, especially since I would wager things like the Wii Sales thread is pretty ripe for lurker watching.

How many [worthless] members are there in our community?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #44 on:** November 17, 2009, 04:54:04 PM »

11452 approximately

EasyCure · « **Reply #46 on:** November 17, 2009, 08:08:44 PM »

see now thats a much easier number to figure out.

crazy pro, asking silly questions.

vudu · « **Reply #47 on:** November 21, 2009, 09:43:11 AM »

The correct answer was 117, so Stratos and someone else won. All the rest of you aren't as clever as you thought.

I'm really surprised by how many people think our forums are smaller than they are--almost two-thirds of you guessed a lower number than the actual one!

Personally, I would have guessed between 200 and 300, so I was way over.

Being a Nintendo fan breeds negativity.

It does feel like a pretty small community. But I like that because we are all pretty familiar with each other.
