SmallFry: you are the 10th most prolific poster on the entire of GH!

Yep I saw that I ticked into that count the other week. My dad was 'so proud'

I, too, am proud of you. SmallFry, BigTry!

There's what 20,000 registered users. Each user would need to post 50 times. This is quite stupid and pointless but a good excuse for people to type on their multiple keyboards I guess. lol

Was thinking the same thing.

I have a feeling that some of you are wildly overthinking this thread.

fohat.digs · « **Reply #61 on:** Wed, 01 May 2013, 08:53:40 »

20K registered users!

Holy Moly! That is mind-boggling. So, maybe 1% are actually "active" and possibly 5% pop up occasionally?

They didn't all migrate to Deskthority or something, did they?

SmallFry · « **Reply #62 on:** Wed, 01 May 2013, 08:55:26 »

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

SmallFry · « **Reply #63 on:** Wed, 01 May 2013, 08:56:59 »

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.

funkymeeba · « **Reply #64 on:** Wed, 01 May 2013, 09:01:23 »

I think SmallFry just wants it changed so the stats will show him as the ultimate in spam technology.

I don't know, SmallFry. If they aren't ready for a million posts, how can we be sure they are ready for the meebcast?

SmallFry · « **Reply #67 on:** Wed, 01 May 2013, 10:00:16 »

Right, how can they contain that much awesome...? But I needz to break the record again! 16 is NOT ENOUGH!

In 10 hours and 20 minutes, I will no longer be a forum spammer, moving on to the bright pastures of internet audio spam streaming. Have a drink with me!

Gladly my sweet prince. On that plane we shall dance, and dance to the beat only a spammer would love. Off-topic was a good home for a while, but who really knows? Who really knows if off-topic can house all of the musings of hackers. It seems people desire cohesive behavior, but I digress... the truth is when have we ever said anything worthy of such a wonderful place?

I can't afford anything that fancy, but I'm sure I can whip up something cool as a prize for reply #999,999.

What an utterly useless thread. Just like this post.

So where's the one billion post thread?

tjcaustin · « **Reply #76 on:** Fri, 03 May 2013, 01:13:27 »

It *is* in the off topic section.

I mean, does anyone expect thesis dissertation level threads?

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.

Yeah, double spaced. It's basically journal article length.

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 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.
