    I tend to check what's been thanked rather than how often. With a post per day count of 4.9something, I'm not going to break any records.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    The OP's is 2.099:1, but mine is 3.75:1 yay :)
    After much consultation with the heads of state, Stephen Hawking, and Jako8, we've come to the conclusion that Timbuk2 is infact wrong.

    You see Mr. Timbuk2, if you were correct. I'd have nearly double thanks to my post count. Two thanks for 1 post. You have the ratios the wrong way.


    Calm down now people, CALM...

    You are both wrong. Timbuk2's calculation is the total number of thanks per posts with thanks.

    The correct way to look at it is total thanks per total posts

    Jumpguy = 1119/2965 = 37.7403%
    Timbuk2 = 769/2079 = 36.9889%

    So Jumpguy wins (just)

    It was irritating me that they were both doing it wrong but I was too lazy to go working it out properly! :D

    I check it a lot. I'm a very obsessive person - If my count goes up, I have to know which post(s) was/were thanked.

    Well I need to know who to like don't I?

    Frada has his thanks statistics open on a separate tab and spends his day on F5.

    He learned that from Dr. Bolloclko.

    Nope Timbuk2 is wrong.

    He says Thank: post ratio so effectively what he is saying is that

    for every 1 post jumpguy makes he gets 2.099 thanks (I know it's not possible but it's all averages)
    and for every 1 post he makes he gets 3.75 thanks.
    Now according to Timbuk2 he has a better ratio than Jumpguy.
    Jumpguy = 1119/2965 = 37.7403%
    Timbuk2 = 769/2079 = 36.9889%

    But as you can see here you have proved otherwise.

    Timbuk2's ratios are incorrect because what he is ultimately saying is that his thanks count is triple or quadruple his post count. Which it isn't.

    He must have the record for most posts thanked in a single day though - over 500 on 28 November
