Yes, there's actually g00b behavior research.

1% of users participate a lot and account for most contributions: it can seem as if they don't have lives because they often post just minutes after whatever event they're commenting on occurs.

<=== 420 posts since 2002

Be honest: How many of you have more posts than lifetime kills in AH?

Well I guess I'm a 9%er.  I guess I just enjoy laughing at you guys more than I enjoy trying to make others laugh. :D

However for a community like ours you have to factor in online time in the arenas and also it doesn't take into account asscociated time, for example Ch200 in the MA is almost an extension of these boards at times and I spent hundreds of hours making an MA map - Others, including the entire CM staff and all the guys submitting skins and the training corps have put in time behind the scenes that pure post counts will not take account of.  These are all direct contributions to the community that happen behind the scenes and are difficult to quantify.

That's just it gatso, I swear some folks spend so much time posting in these forums (and on CH200) that they have none left over to participate in what brought us together in the first place.

I have more posts than kills but there are reasons for this

A) when it gets slow at work it DIES and I'm kind of tied to my desk
B) I am an absolutely horrible pilot and if I shoot you down it's because I got really lucky, you were called away from the game and were on autopilot, or someone else shot at you, you ran into the ground, and I got a proxy kill

On the UPside I probably have more deaths than posts :aok

Good for you, 9% of you ride coat tails while the rest of us carry the team.

For a while, I had more kills then posts.  That was until I realized something.


Getting a single kill takes skill.  Getting a single post takes a keyboard.  To compare the two is retarded.
