My posts total a miserable 47...

[bakerstreet]

... which is a total contradiction to the enjoyment I get from this site.

Will I ever be a TOC owner, transport secretary, signalman, chief executive, or even a driver?

Actually as descriptions go I am happy to remain a first class passenger forever.

I don't have an absolute history of success when it comes to posting from my mobile so instead, and I suspect like many, I lurk in the background only logging on when I am near a proper machine.

Thank you to everyone who has at least reached 3 figures in the posting history as it it wasn't for you all, this would be a very dull read with one new post every month!

Thanks for not all being as quiet as me.

And know that I read almost all you all write.

Oh dear, I'll have to write better stuff!

And a darn site more accurate without me poking my oar in, though I'm just glad I'm not an RPI anymore.

Well I've got to post this if only to keep ahead of the competition!

(First Class Passenger is more than I've ever been in real life - need a Lottery win for that!).

What about those of us with a 4 or even 5 figure post count?

 

[Greenback]

We probably need to get out more!

As it happens, I've been off this week, so I've had much more time to post than I usually do. I also posted a lot through a period of unemployment, when again I had more time on my hands! I expect for most of us there will be times when we are able to spend hours on here, and times when we can't!

 

[YorkshireBear]

student so i have far too much time to post far far far too much time. Well i don't but this is a very good distraction. Infact i dont know how many posts ive manadged, i dont claim to be knowledgable most were questions...

Quiet you!

 

[kentuckytony]

Yer ahead o' me, 47, but I claim being far away and I too am glad to have made it to FCP. Of course this post moves me even closer to the next level....

 

[Dai.]

Oh dear, does this mean I need to make my posts more interesting? Haha.

As far as it comes to it though I don't see anything wrong with just "lurking" in the background, you'll learn more if you listen!!


Nice to see your enjoying it here, it's great here on RailUK.

 

[CarterUSM]

Just remember, it is quality over quantity that counts!

 

[thefab444]

This is my 3000th post on here, although I have posted quite a few more that got deleted!

Whilst that may sound like a lot and means I am the 22nd highest poster on here, I actually post less than two posts per day, which is far less than some members.

How do you find out your overall rank? I can only find the Top 10 in the link at the bottom of the Index...

 

[thefab444]

You must have one of the highest post per day counts though!

Thanks for the link, though I did work it out myself just after I posted!

Yep, 9.89/day ATM, down from just under 11.00/day when I initially went on Mod during November, so hopefully by June next year (if I carry on at my current post level, I don’t want to be on Mod until then!) I will be down to 3.00-4.00/day, which is the typical level of the more prolific posters on here

 

[MCR247]

I'm pretty impressed that I'm the 10th top poster

 

[90019]

Woo, 14th top poster

3.96 per day.

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Huh. I'm on the 4th page! About 1.something posts per day for me. I'm not worried about a large post count though - better 1 good posts than 4000 awful ones.

I'm glad I haven't scared you off with my (at times) obnoxious style of posting :P, for which I make no apologies.

 

[4SRKT]

It doesn't seem long ago that I was a first class passenger or whatever, and now I'm a TOC owner! Not sure when that happened or what I was before, but there's an unimpressive legacy of time wasted to show for this achievement.

EDIT: Good Lord! I'm the top poster over the last 28 days, even knocking the highly prolific Yorkie into second place by an impressive 18 posts. I've averaged 12.6 posts a day over that period. I'm not sure whether to be pleased or just to go and have a little cry in the corner.

It's the 'Guess the Station' Thread that's done it! I remember when we had the Guide Bridge wheelchair fiasco on here, at one point I had 128 posts in ONE DAY , alongside 500+ posts in the last 28 days, how times have changed. My average has now shrunk even lower, helped by the fact that i've only posted twice in the past two days!

 

[4SRKT]

The thread header contains the words 'a miserable 47'. Does anyone know if there is any other sort of 47?

(((((duff basher bashing)))))

Is that posts that passed moderation, or total posts you submitted?

Total posts are nearer 128,000

 

[MidnightFlyer]

It's the total posts that have passed Mod, any posts which do not pass won’t show up, and to be honest, 90-95% of my posts pass, I am still free to vote in polls, and post in Admin Announcements and the Quiz section. My last few days of inactivity will hopefully bring my average down even lower, but I will pass on this advice to anyone: never get yourself on Mod, it's a pain in the a**e

 

[fairysdad]

It's still 46 more posts than I've done...

 

[12CSVT]

For the first time ever, I appeared briefly on the list of top 10 posters of the day yesterday (23 posts I think altogether) mainly in the quiz forum.
