Right, the Nintendo forum.
I post quite a bit of stuff in there, and was looking back over it. I thought that my posts seem to disappear sooner than any others.
Was I being paranoid?
Being a statistics freak I did a bit of counting.
Over the last couple of months my posts have had the last message posted in them,on average 1.69 days later.
The average for posts by others, however, is 3.8 days?
And the number of replies, on average my posts get 5.5 replies, others get an average of 10.7!
Was this just the in Nintendo forums, or was it the case in the other forums too?
Well I had a look in Chat.
My posts, on average, die the next day. The average for all other posts is 2.2 days.
On average I get 15.8 replies in Chat. Others get 30.7.
So I looked in Prime:
My posts lived here for 1.5 days, gaining an average of 21.7 replies.
Others last for 2.5 days, gaining an average of 34.1 replies?
Now can anyone think of any reason for this?
Are my posts that dull and uninspirational?
Why is it that I get more replies when asking what colour console people would prefer, than I do when I reveal details on a new Mario game?
I thought that the people round here thought that the appearance of the console mattered not, but it was games that mattered. Evidently not!

We know what we're talking about (except turbonutter, who seems to have lost the plot slightly...).
You'll understand when you're a regular.
God that sounds patronising! Sorry.
