I've just come this realization:

[Goldenboko]

At this rate, I'll probably send just as many Private Messages here, as I will make posts. I used to empty my PM receipts every once and a while. Starting 8-15-2007, a little longer than a year's time after my joining of this forum, I stopped and used the receipts as a counter of the amount of PM's I've sent.

I joined the forum in June 2006, it's now Jan. 2010. That's about 42 months ago. I've made about 9636 posts, divide that by 42 and you get an approximate post per month: ~229.57... Now let's take out the 13 months I didn't keep track of my PM's from my posts

~229.57...*13 = 2982.5

Subtract from my ~9636

9636-2983 = 6653
I have 6,184 confirmed private message receipts. That's pretty dang close to a 1 to 1 ratio!

Can you approximate YOUR private message to post ratio?

EDIT: Meant to put in a poll, oh well!

math gives me headaches and makes me hungry and tired and lonely

Probably about 3-1 in favour of postcount. PMs are for bitches

[Zeldy]

woah, you've lost me there.

19141 PMs
9791 PM sent
21124 posts

.906 PMs for every post.
.464 PMs sent for every post.

Over five years, this is 346 posts per month, 11.5 posts per day.
Over five years, this is 5.4 PMs sent per day. However, it's important to remember that my PM count has only gone up by about 1000 in the last year and a half. The mass majority of my PMs were sent in a one year period from august 2005 to august 2006. Assuming half of my PMs were sent in that time, that becomes 13.4 PMs per day.

Statistics are fun

[Raistlin]

Accounting for deleted PMs, I probably have close to 2000 PMs. Accounting for pruned/missing posts, I probably have about 12,000. So only a 1:6 ratio for me.

I would hope that I know the definition of a ratio, considering I have a degree from High School. xD
