I consider myself a member who's nominally been here forever but only posts in occasional, short bursts. Now I've thought of a way to measure this pseudoscientifically. The MN-P Product is a rough measure of how often you post, relative to how long you've been here.
Here's how it works. Multiply your member number by your post count. The result is your MN-P Product. The object of the study is to see whether my MN-P is one of the lowest on the site.
Mine is (MN)*(P)=(821)*(2416)= 1,983,536.
What's yours? Everybody check so I can have a good statistical sample.

The problem is, this measure doesn't distinguish between whether a low score is due to member number or post count. A new member with only a handful of posts, will have an extremely low score. I think posts per day is a better measure.

*sigh* And I have only found one person who has higher ppd than I do... And she takes a break once a week! Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

likewise a really longstanding member, Miro. Imagine if Adam (member #2, I think?) were still posting?

Wouldn't a more accurate or meaningful result be by taking the number of posts and dividing it by the number of days you've been a member. That would give you the posts per day factor.
registered: August 25, 2004 (466 days)
221 / 466 = 0.47 posts per day

I have no idea of my posts per day and of course this doesn't measure posts I've made under different names.

of course, I changed user names after about 800 posts, and that ratcheted up my member number from a 3 digit number to 1910. So I lost posts, but gained abotu 1000 in member number.

My landmark is entitled 2000 posts in 20 months and less than 20 years.
I'm not bothering calculating my MN-P products because I know mine would be higher than yours. I'm waiting on someone's old old alt that has less than 100 posts, and a really early number to come post here.

Since I have eight different screen names on Hatrack and I've posted with each and every one of them, this wouldn't tell me anything useful.
