I was bored out my brains once again (big fucking surprise), so I decided to just make some calculations on the demographics of Sep7agon. It points strongly towards the fact that Sep7agon is largely being held up by a small minority of the users.

So out of 604,339 posts in Sep7agon, 268,141 (~45%) of the posts come from the 30 most active users.

And approximately 123 out of the 763 users have a post count of 1,000 or more, which is about 16% of the userbase. That 16% of the userbase has made 499681 posts, which comes out to 85% of the total posts. This means that 16% of the userbase has made 85% of the posts in Sep7agon.

Let's go to users with fewer post counts.

There are only 27 users (~3%) who have post counts in between 500 and 1,000. 69 (lol) users with in between 100 and 500 posts. And 48 users who have in between 50 and 100 posts.

This comes out with barely a quarter of the userbase who has put enough commitment in the site to make even 50 posts. And two thirds of that 25% have gone on to make at least 1,000 posts. So there is a very large proportion of even the most minimally committed users who could be judged to be quite committed to the forum.

This really peaks when the top 8 users in terms of activity (Nagato, Elegiac, Das Boot, True, Val, Challenger, Noelle, and Nuka in descending order) putting in a total of 16% of all Sep7agon posts (at about 100800 posts between those .

Another thing I found shocking is that 50% of the forum has even made 10 posts (with about 1/2 of them making not a single post). Which means that 25% of the forum has made between 10 and 50 posts.

This could be gathered as meaning that less than a quarter of the userbase who has even made a single post could be described as quite committed to this forum.



Interpret this information how you wish. I only gathered it because I was sufficiently bored.

Excellent. I will send all this information to my home planet when I get back.

Sigh.

Now calculate how many of those are shitposts.

No, wait.  I've got it: 99%

You should become Sep7agon's official number counter guy.

Lol...so I'm a high posting minority? xD

*sips tea*

I cannot post any more frequently than what I already do, I don't know how you guys do it

I bet those posts physically and mentally hurt you to type out, huh verb?

Those are all people from bnet who came and left

I didn't realize that membership and posting was a commitment.

Clearly, I have commitment issues.   It's not you, it's me.  Does this mean that we should see other people?
