I'm only a little stronger then weak. :(

I'd say 10+ is starting to be considered a lot. Of course, if you spend hours on ATOT, but just don't post much, you still have a problem. :D

PPD in the profile is misleading....people can have dormant times and crazy times wheere they post constatly, giving them an overall average PPD.

sometimes it works correctly though -
You joined AnandTech on 11/29/1999, you average .92 posts per day with a total of 1046 messages posted to the forums.

gopunk is widely known as the record holder with a consistant 40+ ppd count for a fairly long stretch.

I'd say more then 35+ is a lot a day, but less if your ill and have nothing else better to do.

Well, I don't post a lot, but I lurk for 13 hours every work day. Is that a lot?

Before I was given a vacation, I was doing 100-150 a day for about 2 weeks straight. My average is probably around 40-50, but since I joined, I bet it is just over 10 since I stayed in the shadows so long.

I guess it depends, I feel I spend far too much time on these boards, yet mine is like 4.7 or something. Peanuts compared to many of the people here, but at the same time I've accumulated over 3000 posts on a freakin message board, it's kinda embarassing. :eek:

i didn't post for a long time...almost a year. Getting my post count over 2 posts per day took a long time to make up for my lurking.

My average posts per day is pretty small, because there were several periods of time where I took a break from the computer (due to work, girlfriend, etc).. and didn't post at all.

It was around 3.5something/day when I came back, last I looked it was at 4.20ppd :p

Edit: It's at 4.78PPD now.

Same here, spent a long time on Hot Deals only. Then got hooked on OT. Now I need to join a 12 step program or something.

When you look at OT and see the same people who had the last post in a few threads. Or those who start 3+ threads all together. For me over 10 a day is a lot.

I have 11.41 I believe but I base this on how much I learn here (I really have learned a wealth of information off of here)
