She was more experienced than I was, so I'm sure it couldn't have been all that wonderful for her. But it wasn't bad, maybe a 5? -AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gewing Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I think at least a 7, maybe a 9. Only real problem was that the rug was hard on my knees. She was actually younger but more experienced; however, she took a lot of convincing that I was not more experienced than I said. LOTS of research and study, I told her.

zornwil Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER wasn't it about 70-73? I'm thinking 68-73, but in any case, early 70s, yes, I was born in 1963. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Honestly, I think they are an attempt to make up a number that means nothing. As a number cruncher, it would be more interesting to run statistical data to determine the z-scores to find out which threads deviate from the norm. But that would involve someone running a spreadsheet to maintain. Why not ask Ben to create another custom view where an extra colum beside Views to show WGAC? This being entirely optional, and as a default turned off. Those who want WGAC turn it on. That could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Squirrel Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER First, I apologize for reprinting this without permission. That said, I'm now pretty ticked off. From my friend's LJ: So I just found out today that my brigade is being put on stop loss at the end of june.... How convenient right after we turn over power to The Iraqis. Stop loss means they won't let you get out of the army for a period of time. What does this mean you ask? It means that in the not to distant future my unit will be going back to iraq. Iraq made me see things ALOT more differently than I used to, it mostly made me see things all fucked up and I'm starting to get over that. (its called post traumatic war syndrome) I did alot of things that people would deem "not right" and I was in situations that I didn't want to be in at all. So why in the hell would I want to go back?! I did my time for the army I fought a war for the army leave me the fark alone and let me get out!!!! Just when you think that things will be going good soon the "uncle sam fairy" comes and ruins your day. (this fairy goes by many alias but mine is the uncle sam fairy) WHY ME?!?!?!

DocMan Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Super Squirrel, I'm confused. You've stated that you want to make THIS THREAD the longest EVER (by number of posts). And yet you keep spawning off new threads that are competing with this thread. Do you realize that you're sabotaging your own efforts? Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austenandrews Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER My mom kicked me out of the womb in '69 - you aged compatriot Ach! You'll have to speak up, sonny, my ears ain't what they used'ter be ... So while my kids are watching a kid's show and I'm waiting for the pizza to arrive, I decided to check the post rates of various champ threads. You know, to see how long it will take to catch up to the others. The next highest non-game thread, Random Musings, posted 1604 replies in 162 days. That's 9.9 replies a day. Right above that in total replies is the Catsuit thread. With 1636 replies in 392 days, its lifetime posting rate is a not-so-impressive 4.2 per day. The next highest non-game thread is Random About Random: 3200 replies, 161 days, 19.9 posts per day. Wow. For grins I calculated the all-time reply count king, WAG2: 8010 replies, 154 days, 52.0 replies per day. Criminy! So I wondered how we stacked up. As of half an hour ago we had 693 replies in 10 days, for a post rate of ... drumroll ... 69.3! We rule! And my pizza's here now. Ciao. -AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
