Fun with numbers 2

[BSea]

Ok, I'm bored . . . . again.

So I thought I'd do a little analysis of the member list similar to what I did about a year ago (maybe Fedb is just a boring month).

At the time I'm writing this there are 12554 members that have signed up on the board. Of those, only 3395 have made at least 1 post. So about 73% of people that have signed up, have never made a post. So I guess they are only in it for the 10% discount.

Other interesting (Or not) info:
There are 737 with only 1 post 5.87%
There are 1850 with less than 10 posts 14.73%
There are 2 Grand Master Spammers 0.016%
There are 5 Sharks 0.04%
There are 30 Barracuda 0.239%
There are 273 Grouper 2.175%
310 have enough post for the $50 GC 2.469%

There is a rule of thumb that says 80% of something will be accomplished by 20% of the participants. If you throw out all those that have never made a post then look at the ones who have made at least 1 post then for the forum:

There are at the time I wrote this 266250 post.
26650 x80% = 213000 post
The top 766 posters posted 212997 post.
So 80% of the post were made by 22.56% of the participants. Looks like we fall pretty close to the norm.

Like I said.............I'm a little bored.

For those who are just as bored as me, you can look at the numbers from last year here.

It's been around for a while - The first time I saw the sequence I almost pulled my hair out trying to figure out the key.

Any guesses?

Here's a hint: Think exponentially.

I'd say you were really bored but then I'm a statistical analyst so I guess I can't. Nice work using the Pareto principle though.
