Statistics you couldnt care about...

bonkey

It was a slack day, so I decided to do some cut, paste, regexp re-formatting, and a little bit of calculations to bring you this!!!

Here's a list of the current boards forums, sorted according to their post-per-thread count.

Completely useless, but like I said...slack Friday.

Ahhh yes now we have proof about the bastion of spam that is the Counter Strike Board.

Counter-Strike posts: 40241 threads: 2469

The next (real forum) closest (in threads) is..:

After Hours posts: 25075 threads: 2336

But wait a minute....I'm confused.....the CS board has almost twice as many posts SPAMMERS.

(I ignored the tech board cos it doesn't apply to the normal thread/reply model)

But what about Half-Life (26,769) and Quake (51,077) or are they not real boards (/me ducks)

Not at all, I found it remarkably interesting. But then, I love stats (and cake).

Bonkey has faaaaaaaaaar too much time on his hands, even for a slack friday...

But as amp0r says I also like stats, so its okay

Whats this! No standard deviation from the mean post/tread ratio!?! No frequency analysis of threads over 100 posts or 30 posts!?!?

Bonkey! Your lettin' the team down mate!

Oh - I'm sorry. I thought it was obvious that these were left as an exercise for the reader...

No Community forums statisised....

I'd have been interested to see the numbers on Ireland OffLine's forum.

Any chance?
