I'm not sure of the actual active count. Perhaps it's queried in the stats page. Let me check...

Appears not, Rknize may be able to query accounts that make at least one post per month or something like that, but have posted in the last six. For example, itlnstln hasn't been active since November but still has over 13,000 posts.

I'd like to read it too. Where did you get your Master's? You're relatively close to me.

I got it in Sociology at the University of Washington up in Seattle.  Wasn't exactly a good fit for me in terms of the city and the theoretical approaches to sociology.  They're very rational choice, while I'm more of a symbolic interactionist and American pragmatist who acknowledges strategic interaction. I tend to follow the likes of Howard Becker, Erving Goffman, and John Dewey in how I approach the field.  They tend to follow in the vein of Gary Becker.  It created all kinds of interesting conflicts.

Anyways, the thesis is on the French Academie des Beaux-Arts and the Salon and why the Academie fell from it's position of power and authority in the art world and why the Salon failed.  I mainly examined organizational, environmental/ecological, and cultural factors that guided the Academie and Salon down their path.  Originally the thesis was ~65-70 double spaced pages, but they made me pare it down to 45.  In other words, it's incredibly short.  If that really sounds interesting, I can post it, but it seems kind of silly.  I really made my original comment as a joke.

Mmm sociology.

I love it.  I never really got to do the work I really loved to do while up in Seattle, but hope I can do some of it at another school down the line.  I really wanted to do some research into community effects of art and art and political movements and polling behavior.  The one I really wanted to do, but didn't have the statistical know how to do, is a network analysis of art auctions.  If I'm lucky, maybe I'll get to go to Poland and do research on the Solidarity movement.

Funny thing about economists these days is that many of them are trying to be sociologists. There's still a lot of money and goods based economics, but a lot of them are trying to do broader social inquiry with hybrid economic and sociological methods.

I'm more interested in it than in love with it.  I keep that L word for wave based physics and economics.

Funny thing about economists these days is that many of them are trying to be sociologists. There's still a lot of money and goods based economics, but a lot of them are trying to do broader social inquiry with hybrid economic and sociological methods.

I'm on the fence about that, but completely understand it.  It's part of my interest in sociology to be completely honest as there are some fairly solid ties between the two.

You have to go into the keyboard forum.. Make unjust and biased remarks about Either Cherry MX or Topre.. and cicle jerk at least once with the Topre-Circle-Jerk members.

Then you'll be officially in my fan club.. and I will yell at you and overturn ever argument you can make, including but not limited to the sky is blue.

Now there hasn't been any Cherrymx jerk clubs I'm aware of, so I don't include that in the process.. but if that club "does" form.. then I will crusade against that as well.

I still make the same assertion:

You guys do realize that the entirety of GH is less than your goal right?

General Statistics

But it looks like GH as a whole has gotten a LOT bigger, more than 19% in less than 4 months! At this rate GH will be ~25K short of 1M by the end of the year!

Scratch that, because of all the deletions and posts "not counting" and such it looks like GH already passed 1M! By hovering over my previous post it looks like that was the 1,008,990th post! That's nearly a 200K discrepancy, WTF?!

Yes, but I prefer to remember you as the hentai googler.

Here's one of the pics, and it's DEFINITELY NSFW:

I hate my work computer.

That makes two of us. Windows XP sucks after using Windows 7/8 for so long...

I used to think I'd never use anything other than XP but Windows 7 I like, 8 was too 'new' for me.

Funny you say that, I used to feel the same way... but then XP got obsolete, so I had to upgrade.

Plus snap feature. I try using it so much in Windows XP, only to remember that I can't...

What if in an alternate reality question marks are replaced by exclamation points.

I have a VM or two running XP because it is so much lighter than anything later.

You should use Windows XP instead of MAC OS X (Mega-Awful Crappy Or S hitty Xcretion). Or even 98! Windows 98's pretty good, especially on a Pentium III. Put IE6 on it and you'll be in business!

I used to use Windows 98 SE on a Pentium III 500MHz.  I still have the computer - it was in a huge case that I might one day reuse as a server.  Or maybe not, I am trying to downsize.

I had a similar setup except it was a P3 ~600mhz in a huge tower and I eventually upgraded it to run XP!

Heh I upgraded mine to run Linux.  For such a large tower there was only space for 2 HDD, IIRC.  Tiny motherboard.

Yeah at one point I had  a motherboard in mine that would crash on windows installation (windows 2000) but linux ran perfectly fine on it.

I had (still have, actually, although whether it still works is another matter) an old server that supposedly supported Windows NT or something of that vintage, but I could not get anything else to install on it, including numerous later Windows and various Linus distros.

I think I eventually got an old Ubuntu to run.

It had 6 SCSI HDD in RAID, each with an LED on the front, and it was somewhat hypnotic to watch all the blinkenlights.

Hmm... let me try to put this goal into perspective for you:

It took Ripster YEARS to get all of his posts, and he only made it to like what, 25k? And look at how much bull**** he had to post to get that number...

Also this: http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=stats (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=stats)

This forum has been around for YEARS and we haven't even reached 1M posts.

So yeah, this thread is completely pointless. It should be deleted...

Looking at the forum stats the forum now currently has 1019757 posts
