hippy is closing in on 30,000 posts

This is pretty much the least interesting news ever, but hippy is actually closing in on 30,000 posts now. Only about 240 to go. Just in case you wanted to watch and learn.

The 'Last Post Wins' thread has a lot to answer for. ;)

Is that the forum record?

I'm notifying my office. We're going to have a Hippywatch.
It'll be on CNBC from 14:00 BST.

And there'll be a live Twitter feed.

Is that the forum record?

Twice as many as Dale who's second on 14k+... I have a paltry 8.1k posts...

holy shit. just checked the member list....
Thats some serious dedication to the posting.

Okay, here's a question..

Hippy currently has an avg post rate of 34.28 per day and stands at 29,759 posts.
LdnGrrl currently has an avg post rate of 50.07 per day and stands at 2,783 posts.

If these trends continue, how many days will it take for LdnGrrl to have more posts that Hippy?

I was waiting for someone to post about me, knew it would take less than 10mins. :)
Probably explains why you're lurking on my profile a lot...
...it did go down to 40, I guess it went up again. Ah well.

lurking on your profile a lot? lol I literally just checked it now to see your post rate

Um... yeah, why not.

Hippy is a lazy git, he could easily have had 40000 if he applied himself properly.

Oh glory.. I didn't know. What wise way should I use these next few posts?

How about the traditional slagging off dumb noob questions? Yeah.. that sounds cool.

This is 100% true.

Back to Hippy, is there some form of celebrating going on for his post count?

LdnGrrl has been slacking. She was on something 168.0 per day for her first two days or so. :)

Hippy, are you going to try to get yourself banned once you reach 29,999?

Oh glory.. I didn't know. What wise way should I use these next few posts?

Why not fuck with their minds and be nice for 240 239 posts until you reach the 30000 figure?

Ldngrrl currently has an avg post rate of 50.07 per day and stands at 2,783 posts.

imagine a graph, y=post x=days

rate of posting=gradient=m

y=mx+c

c for hip=29759 m=34.28 so y=34.28x+29759

c for growler=2783 m=50.07 so y=50.07x+2783

equate the two to find x

34.28x+29759=50.07x+2783

26976=15.79x

26976/15.79=1708 days

1708 days

Hippy, are you going to try to get yourself banned once you reach 29,999?

I begged VB to do that for 20k but he didn't listen.

Well, you strapping young man, what a top idea. I might just try that.
