Am I the only one who finds it odd the lulz thread is longer than the longest thread by like, three times?

has anyone looked at the metrics lately to determine if this thread is still on target to overtake the lulz thread, and if so what that ETA is? my gut sense is this thread is losing ground.

If we look at the average posts per day (ppd) over the past week:

Longest Thread - 7.111
Lulz Thread   -     13.333

We can conclude that people talk more about funny things than they do about long things.

The lulz thread had a head start. This here longest thread was only created after peoples got their panties in a bunch about random stuff appearing in a other threads.

Sad Rummy you being the forum librarian I feel bad correcting you but the true history of the longest thread is as follows.

Spore started a pretty amusing thread that simply stated last to post wins. Once the "I win" jokes stopped being funny people started using it to shoot the shit and all was good in the forums. Scotty had it in for the thread from the beginning however saying that it was a waste of space and encouraged people to spam. Although I thought it might be trickery to win. He locked it with his post being last possibly confirming my suspicions after which I made a thread expressing my disapproval since it had become one of my favorite threads. Of course he edited my post to make himself seem even more awesome. I had plotted to resurrect the thread ever since and tried to make deals with him regularly for a new longest thread. He wanted any BS thread to be called "The Bar" like Dtoid and I said that was the worst idea ever since a lot of the members hated Dtoid at the time (see Rummy's history post). Eventually he got sick of my whining and let me create a new longest thread providing I didn't use Spore's starter "last post wins." Unfortunately without that little bit of genius this thread has never caught on as well. But I still think that there should be a thread that just posting in makes you feel like a winner.

at this point I think a couple of the other major threads outpace the lulz thread (fml and made-my-day at the very least). one day they'll catch up. one day

Someone make a function to derive, at the current rate of posts per day, how many days it will take for a thread to overtake the lulz thread.

I will give you a cookie if you figure it out

rise over run dude.

work done.

You need to account statistically for variations between posting rates of the threads on a daily/weekly/monthly basis and not just linear averages...
[/quote]

nah.  i'm willing to bet that if you plot #post by day for each of these threads and fit a line to them, that line will be linear.

smoothing out variations across days/ # of members is exactly what averaging is doing.

Re: New/Improved Longest Thread - Vandamguy - 06-10-2010

we should make it a running joke that every time you post something , someone else will re-post it tomorrow somewhere else.

So I was at a Japanese supermarket on my way back to Wisconsin today, when I found & bought some of these:

I suddenly want to crawl around in some tall grass and eat electric mushrooms.
