For a guy that has trouble balancing his checkbook as I do your statistics amaze the beejeebers out of me! Thanks for putting this stuff together so a simple guy like me can understand it!
Amazing!

Uhhmm, you feeling OK Marlene?

All of your posts are in the Community section, aren't they? That would make an independent assumption of 96% in Random!!


BTW, Oscar, I did read through the entire report, because I like numbers and stats, and am impresssed with what you have done before!!

Everybody should be aware that Mike lost all data prior to Nov98 due to a system crash, and having no backup. Other posts since then would have been skewed due to various factors!

Other, various and sundry crashes that have affected the database.

If you posted a message, then came back a few minutes later and deleted that message, it would still show up on your count, as well as the total message count. This would be because the database that stores all of this information would have to allocate that Post ID as soon as the post was created, and it would have to be a number that was never replicated. Even if you delete the post, you cannot delete the reference in the database. This is the reason you see a link to a TSG post that gets you a reference not found error.

Also, I do not know what criteria Mike bases his Archive rules. Does he put everything in there that is a certain age, or does he make it more selective? What happens to the old posts that don't make it into Archives? are they deleted?

Anyway, as always, I appreciate the effort that you have put into compiling that report!

Always an interesting read!!

I have just spent an hour reading all of your site, including those other 3 examples.

It must take a lot to group and tally all those results. It was also very informative.

I liked the Resolved page the most. Not only did you filter out the ones that were solved/resolved, but you physically looked at the rest to determine if they were solved. That must have taken a fair bit of time.

Looking forward to your next one

eddie

Thanks eddie. Scanning through one thread to see if it's solved does not take long -- unless it turns out to be an interesting one that I can learn something from. Then I get distracted and have to make some notes to check out later. The time does add up, though, when there are several hundred threads to look at.

One fall-out from all this scanning is that it makes me appreciate the task of the moderators whose job is to look at all the threads every day. I would hope the vB code has some sort of filtering facility to look for key words or phrases to make their job easier. But by this time I think most moderators have figured out whose posts need to be scanned carefully and whose can be pretty much ignored.
