Ok so there are a lot of users on the forums now; what I would like is for some moderator to construct a graph for # of users on the y-axis, and #of posts on the x-axis. Another cool thing would be if you included some code on the bottom of the graph to tell you your ranking as far as total posts go.
Pleeeeease :3
Edit: The mod doesn't have to go through each user and compile data *facepalm"* he just creates a program to do it for him...
Assuming that some of the mods have programming skills >_>
The x axis would be maxed at the post count of the user with the most posts
The y axis would be maxed at the mode of the data set. (say 35,000 users with 23 posts)
Let's waste moderator time constructing a list of EVERY MEMBER and their post count. This should only take... years.
ALSO: @Oxy, if you took your post count and quintupled(x5), you'd still have less posts than me.
@Kyo, if you took your post count and multiplied it by 9, you'd still have less posts than me.
If you two ADDED your post counts, you'd still have under a third of mine.

In the usefull world of computer programming you can make the computer do arduous repetitive tasks for you.... :tongue.gif:
That is, I hope that some moderators have programming skills >_>
It's not a competition -.- I just want to see the frequency of each type of user...

Alright, let us assume 6 pt font then, written vertically. 2 pts between each name (field on the X for user names). and the post count on the Y in increments of 250 posts (6 pt font, 2 pts between)...
You'd have an image that was
~6,560,000 x ~320.
Saved as an uncompressed 24-bit BMP, you're looking at a 6.297GB image... Let's be generous, if you have it converted to JPG with 95% compression, you're looking at a 315MB image.
Now, I have a wide-screen monitor displaying 1080p resolution, this means 1920 horizontal pixels. You'll have to scroll 3417 to see the entire image.

The graph doesn't have to be acompletly quantitative graph. More qualitative. I would asume it would a downward curve, with the acceptiion of a hump back towards 0 at 1 or 2 posts. Stop flaming my idea, you're making it more complicated than it needs to be... the y window size would be maxed at the mode of the data set and the x window would be maxed at the post count of the user with the most posts...
I work in the IT database sector for heaven's sake, I know this can be done with relative ease with the help of a moderatly skilled programmer.
I say we make a Minecraft city representing number of posts. After it hits y 128 you add another column. Might take a bit long, who's up for it? Put a sign next to each tower to designate names.

How did I flame the idea, exactly?
I provided reasons why this suggestion was difficult to produce in a satisfactory manner.
Also, how would you qualify the members exactly? On a per-member basis? Or are you referring more like:
Number of posters with 0~3 posts, number of posters with 4~10, number of posters with 11~25... etc?

Oh and i'm talking about a line graph so it doen't need to be grouped into bars such as 0-5 posts.

Please explain to me what the hell you are talking about...
There are over 820,000 users on this forum.
