h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Today (29/4/99) I became a researcher for the Guide!

You beat me by a day! Hope you're getting a few more visitors now!

But at less than 1,300 conversations you really are a bit of a lightweight user

Seriously though, I think it is time I resurected my 'who's got the most conversations' thread (assuming I can find it ) as I haven't checked up on the numbers since the legacy queue reappeared.

1,300? Is that all? I would have thought i had more...

MP32077?show=25&skip=1275

It seems so

You haven't been playing with the 'unsubscribe' button as some point in the past have you?

forgot the <./> etc thingies

i checked it myself, with <./>MP32077?skip=1200&show=100</.> or something like that. It seems you are right. I might have been unsubscribing, but not on a large scale... it's strange. I have had 2 long(ish) periods away from h2g2 since i joined (excluding Rupert), so that would decrease my posts somewhat... I'm now...

Perhaps you weren't subscribed to pages that generate a lot of threads, like Peer Review or whatever. And that what you were doing was a lot of posting within a small range of conversations.

I've found that my total of conversations has ballooned since I became a Guru and subscribed to all of the help pages, plus the random places that a confused user might ask a question. Then of course I went and subscribed to Peer Review and all hell has broken use - c.4,700 conversations and counting

... broken loose ...

I don't subscribe to big conversations, it's too confusing. When guruing i just look at <./>mp295</.> and then i only see the questions that need answering.

PS I have asked Jim about a more definitive total.

Jim says:

"According to the stats, as of 5th March, you have posted to 972 different conversations. You're subscribed to 40 forums and you have 1238 different conversations in your list of currently subscribed conversations (plenty of which you haven't ever posted to)."
