"Which posters give the best value?"

Okay, forgive me for posting an ultimately pointless topic, but I'm at work on Xmas Eve - I'm bored stiff, and there are only about 5 people in the entire building and none at all in my office.

I just needed to pass some time, okay?!

Anyway, it crossed my mind to see who gives the best value in terms of words per post on these forums. So I copied the all-time top 100 posters list into Excel, stuck in a few simple formulas, and it spat the following out the other end.

Remember - this is "value" based simply on words per post - it doesn't in any way vouch for the quality or content of those posts! (I mean, if it did, there's no way Meka would be at number 8... :-)

So, without further ado... ladies and gentlemen of the forums, I present... the 100% unofficial "Special Reserve All-Time Top One Hundred Best Value Posters" list.

Yeah but nobody does those non-gaming one liners better than me :)

Hopefully the next time this is done, I've been here long enough to get on that list because:

1 - Salevaa - 191.??

Yes, I have toppled Tom by 64 words. But then again, as someone said, you could post utter crap and get to the top - that is the entire philosophy of a spammer. If anyone is willing to find the exact number, please feel free too and I just found a solution to finding your post/word total before the system updates the "stats" tab. Go to the top posters page and it will have your exact stats - no wait for an update either! You probably already knew that, but what the hey!

Whooaahh! I was 19th just a few days back. Now 78th!

42nd isn't bad :) 49.summit words

Woo average of 40 words thats pretty good! :D

What do people think of my posts??? Too long or what?? I know i'm not in the top 100 (yet) but I think that myself and the others who also haven't made the all-time list, deserve to hear what other people think of our posts. But it'd be harder to sort through us all, and see who's the best.

Come on ladies and gents. This is my proudest moment on the forums.

Praise me

Worship me

Love me

As I am the number one 'value' poster that has ever crossed into the deep and dark boundaries of the forums, 'The Nintendo forum'. Nah, only kidding. But I'm still good and you all love me. Don't ya?

Merry Christmas all and have a good day.

Heh, I'm 80th... ROCK N ROLL!!!

:-D

I will be in that list soon very soon i will reach the top and rule these forumns for the rest of eternity.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

if only dreams came true if only

Hey looky here, I am in 12th spot. I spam do I Stryke? I don't know what your definition of spam is, but mine tends to be either massive senseless posts or short utter "ahem" posts.

Ah well, good to see I haven't been posting short things much recently, mind you I haven't been posting much at all recently.
