Sten Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Who has the Highest 'Lurker factor'? Lurker factor = 10000/ (# of posts * member number) To be elegible for this award your date of registration must be no later than 31-12-2000. The first nominee is Boeman, #1845, who just made his fifth post. His Lurker factor would be 10000/(5*1845) = 1.084. Can you do better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrene Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 I could qualify for a blabber mouth award...My lurker factor is 4.578 yap yap yap yap Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sten Posted May 10, 2001 Author Share Posted May 10, 2001 Eh, how's your math skill? 10000/(417*5238)=0.004578 not anything else. This probably puts you in a good position for the anti-lurker award though. Edited due to slip-of-the-finger. (Now, doesn't that sound like something that would belong in a Peng thread? ) [ 05-10-2001: Message edited by: Sten ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrene Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Look at your original post. There's an extra zero on your 1000. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better is to take the registration date, but there are some old timers who lost their original registration in the Great Board Collapse of 1999 or somefink like that. Registration date is probably the best publicly available item to hook your lurker award to. Better might be the date the person ordered CMBO (or pre-ordered!)

ASL Veteran Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 I nominate Cormand. Member number 114 with 18 total posts. 10000/18*114 = 4.873 :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Panzer Boxb Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 I am an anti-lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sten Posted May 11, 2001 Author Share Posted May 11, 2001 Ok, Cormand is the new leader of lurkers. I know about the crash of -99, I was here when it happend. I figured the renumbering of members ( ) wouldn't hurt the calculations ved´ry much. But yes, I agree, registration date would be superior, but a LOT more cumbersome to use.
