No, search is inaccurate, so he uses totals from the members list.

exactly , all i put here ar ethe ontopic posts, any offtopic posts are irrelevant and therefore not included in my lists....


the members section contains all the info i use, i jus tput it into a differnet format ...

just wish the info was avaialbe in a format that matched my spreadsheet rather than having to copy and paste then reformat the numbers and dates to suit.

the first lsit was quick and easy as i jsut did posters over 5000 posts , the last one took about two hours all up to sort out because i extended it to all emporers level

i was, am still planning, on this months one extending to all posters for my spreadsheet but only displaying the top categories in my lists here. eg highest post per day, etc.

the problem being of course that i need to put in all posters now and then compare at end of month for a Current post per day as the post per day shown in the members area is based on the whole time the people been registered and rarely is it any where near the amount they post now.

i also need to reformat all the dates to work with formulaes and also get the post per day num,bers for people with a join date of Jan 1970 as that not their real date of joining but a script error in the database.

so lots of work , but i reasonably happy to do it for fun ...

I think the 1970'er PPD is counted starting from 15-2-1999 (or possibly 14-2) since everyone registered before that date is marked 1970. It's definitely not using 1970 anymore (although that used to be the case).

Even then, of course the PPD can't be all that accurate, because Apolyton came into existence in August 1998 (see DanQ's registration date, the only one with a 1998 registration date).

would be nice to know if there is anywhere recorded the actual join dates.

maqybe if i do a reverse calcualtion using ppd as per member page it might give it to me .

hmmm, well maybe it should be an official project. Enough people look at it and give you feedback.

And it is actually a community project, crossing all of the forums so well. Not really that many of them here...

Actual join dates are not known... Unless the posters themselves remember, and I know I certainly don't. Well, maybe MarkG still has 1998 forum records.

I doubt that... Not exactly using the numbers on the member pages anyway, the 2 digit fraction isn't accurate enough. You'd probably need database access to get the real numbers.

Oh, but judging from my PPD, the date used seems to be the summer of 1998 rather than early 1999.

Look at Ras's first post in this thread :

I'd say no.

I think Jamski means last months was early, so you shouldn't expect this one a month after the last, but at the end of the month.
