I assure you, madam, that I and most of the others who post in the word association threads do so because
we enjoy word games. It's only a harmless pastime requiring nothing more than a touch of creativity and a
sense of humor. I also find it a useful brain-jogger and chan ...[text shortened]... s at the long-running Word Association Game. We adopted both threads, just to spoil the fun.
"If you don't like the association threads, just ignore them."
It strikes me that most people who come to this forum seem to find a happy balance between posting for the sake of posting, without any reference to previous content, and not posting at all. It also depends on lifestyles, people who are not employed and also housebound may be more prolific posters, even if what they post isn't interesting to other people. ...[text shortened]... often done here as a "look at me! I'm more worthy of attention than this lot" activity.
That's a bit unfair. I wasn't complaining, I'm just disappointed that there isn't more variety in the active threads, that's all. Mostly I do just ignore them, and occasionally I even post in one.

You've launched your fair share. Others should follow your lead.

Hence the 😵.
No doubt i have wasted wayyyy to much time on these forums. If i had played chess as much as most drivel on the forums, for sure i would've reached 1800 by now.
Here's the final list, I'm getting bored with this on a sluggish internet connection, waiting for the "search forum" to do its thing, so no more will be added by me. Do what you will with the information. Just remember, if you've had a forum ban at any time, your real number is higher, possibly much higher.

26,410 Moves / 2,030 Days = 13.0 Moves Per Day / "10.25 posts per day" = 1.27 or 27% More Chess Moves then Posts / Day.
Might be worthwhile taking a second pass to incorporate the second reason we all visit the site.
One Dimensional Stats often prevent the Total Activity Profile from being known. No research.

I note the new 'Beta' site has somewhat condensed the forum posts within far fewer pages; my own offering stands at 100 pages in the RHP normal site, yet the Beta site contains these posts within 38 pages...
Progress indeed...

The new site limits the search back by date - it only looks back so far.
If you play with the dates in the fields at the top of the search you can find all of your posts again.
This makes good sense as it stops massive database hits when looking at prolific posters just to get the total number of pages right when all anyone is looking for is probably only the last few posts a person made.
