I am whatever the forum needs.

Except a black person. I cannot do that.

It's because you lie about the length of your e penis.

How's that experiment coming o-trap? Come up with a number that defends your argument yet?

I'll let you know around 6pm, since that was roundabout the original time the first number was figured.

For what it's worth, Day 1 of the experiment was about 11% lower than the historical average.

Scratch that. Closer to 12%.

So it was in actuality about 50% lower?

Where the hell did you get 50%?

Approximately 1,083 posts in the first 24 hours compared to the average of 1,228.46. That is 145.46 posts fewer than an average day, or about 1 fewer than the average for every 10 minutes of the day.

And an 12% decrease means growing forum? Only on the OC...

What's an e penis?

Who said it was growing?

You really are one friggin' weird guy.

A forum is either growing, stagnate, or declining. You have made the argument that it is growing based on your new 32 members with at least one post. I have said otherwise and the data supports my observation.

*stagnant

Stagnated.

I didn't say it was growing. Those are gross additions. I said nothing of the actual net additions, except that if the gross attrition for that same time frame is at or less than 32, then there has been active member growth for that time frame.

For your comprehension:

1. Member growth doesn't necessarily equate to larger post counts.
2. Member attrition is virtually impossible to quantify given the metrics available for a forum, as most will just stop posting without closing an account.
3. My point was that we don't all necessarily see the growth or attrition unless it is drastic. Those little 32 posters are not drastic, and neither, I don't believe, is the effect from most posters who have ceased posting.

I don't believe this is the adjective. I believe QCB was correct.

By this we can conclude that at best the forum is stagnant.

QCB should get a life instead of pointing out grammatical errors on a casual internet forum.

It might be, or it may have even declined some, but I'm willing to bet that the numbers won't reflect a drop of drastic proportions.

It seemed appropriate.

In any case, I certainly hope you don't leave. When you're not trolling, the conversation you bring to the table is good stuff.

I'm too lazy for that, can I just lie about my investments instead?

I don't know why you want to lie about your personal investments, but feel free.
