CallMeIshmael's Formula: OOT Poster Index - Page 5

gumpzilla · #41 10-10-2007, 10:43 PM

CMI -

The member number bit seems to be pretty skewed. There's a minimum at 87500, and then everybody regged after that is actually getting better. At 2*87500, when that day comes, that member will have as much status as the Sklansky's of the world, and it only gets worse. Thus, this formula is poorly designed IMO, unless there's a good reason it should be this way.

My reg. number is 27711, 7474 posts. I get about 8.07 million, if I didn't mess up.

5.28mil. When the new forum comes out, you formula is going to be way out of whack.

From running the numbers on some posters I like, I concluded that the sweet spot for awesome-ness is ~8.5M or so. Any less might be too noob-ish, significantly more and you're just a volume poster.

Yay, 8.53M!

According to google spreadsheet: 4,506,570

ETA: LOL my post was 18 mins after Al's because I was triple-checking the answer.

All,

after discussing this with gump, Im going to post the linear model (which fit worse):

134*Post Count - Member Number

either way, it appears (per the methods used which Ill go into a bit later) that quality of OOT posts tends to correlate far better with post count than member number... which (again) Im surprised by

(134 * 6 642) - 28 027 = 862 001

8 Hundred thousand.
