	Statistics? Enter the AD-FREE zone

Mark, you seem to be living to give us all kinds of statistics .
I'd be interested in knowing how many users start the week on each day, and a updated style statistic would be god too.

Graphs!
Charts!
Lists!

NOW! NOW! NOW!



Its sad I know, but I once considered making a chart of posts vs poster "rank" number (per the top 20... list). I wanted to see if there was an exponential decay curve.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the best curve I could get (using top 200) was the one attached (I tried different curve-types.), and if it would have been true Ming would have had 22491 posts

you mean something like this?

You actually did this before I suggested it.

We have statistical proof that Ming does not post enough!

From the graph we can also see that there are to many deities. all those dots in a very small bound.

That's not a stinking exponential decay curve!

You should have fitted to Ae^(Bx) (or AB^x) instead of Ax^B (A&B are the fitted constants).

That curve only hit a few posters in the midle.

Its going to be skewed anyway. The fact that we are ordering the posts in some way means it is not a simple decay. If you take a statistical distribution in a histogram it would be more revealing.

Perhaps "poster density" = An^xyⁿ

or something of that ilk, with N being the number of posts.
