omg, I just calculated my number of posts and my join-date.

8300 posts over 5.25 years.

That's 4.33 posts per day, every single day for over 5 years straight.

I need to check into a rehab.

What's yours?

Hm. But I'm not topping the list...
ZZ: 4.6
HoI: 7.1
('course, they're staff...)

Actually it's 4.35 :-p The info is in your profile statistic tab.

Don't forget, your post count doesn't include anything posted in most of the lounge forums. What would adding in those posts do to your post-count average?

No, she means she doesn't want to know what it would be if the non-counted posts in GD, etc., were counted...

Ahhh. That would change my stat's considerably also.

Me either. Since my research interests lie in an area of astronomy/astrophysics that is a bit "on the edge", I'd run afoul of forum rules by posting about on-going work, papers in progress, etc. The previously-published work was a foundation for the "interesting" stuff, so the "interesting" stuff has not met peer-review yet. So I spend most of my time in GD. I'm the lead author on our upcoming paper and am pretty excited about some aspects of our work.

It's too bad that on-going work can't be discussed unless it has already been peer-reviewed, because by the time it's published, it's "old-hat" and is not as interesting to the authors. They are already on to the next step in their program, and can't discuss what to them is an exciting new topic and bounce ideas off off other forum members who may have some helpful suggestions. For the record, my collaborators and I are cataloging redshift discrepancies in apparently-interacting galaxy pairs of a very specific type, and there are some interesting trends emerging WRT the morphology of the associations.

Ack, 2.66 per day. I need a hobby. Does this post contribute to my post density?

2.89 - quite low for me, but for about three years I was posting sporadically only. Most of my posts are from the last two years. Besides, traffic in our backwater is relatively low.

2.79 ppd. I remember we did this a couple years ago and I destroyed everyone. BOW DOWN.

Haven't posted on this forum in ages, I think I had to re-register my account a while ago as well. Kind of back now again, though :)
 

Related to What's your post-density compared to other forum members?

1. What is post-density?

Post-density refers to the frequency at which a forum member contributes posts or comments on a forum or discussion board. It is typically measured by the number of posts per day, week, or month.

2. How is post-density calculated?

Post-density is calculated by dividing the total number of posts made by a forum member by the number of days, weeks, or months they have been a member. For example, if a member has made 100 posts in the span of 20 days, their post-density would be 5 posts per day.

3. What is considered a high post-density?

A high post-density varies depending on the forum and its community. Generally, anything above 5 posts per day is considered high, but it ultimately depends on the forum's activity and the individual's contribution.

4. How does post-density compare to activity level?

Post-density and activity level are closely related but not the same. Activity level refers to the amount of time a member spends actively participating on the forum, while post-density measures the frequency of their contributions. A member can have a high post-density but a low activity level if they make several posts in a short amount of time and then do not participate for a while.

5. Is post-density an accurate measure of a member's contribution to a forum?

Post-density can provide some insight into a member's activity and contribution to a forum, but it should not be the sole factor in assessing their value to the community. Other factors such as the quality of their posts and their level of engagement with other members should also be considered.
