It's the opposite here in Calgary? We're warming up and a lot of the snow is melted off right now. Must be the chinook.

I occasionally have to remind myself that what farmers think of as work clothes is often not what many other people think of when they say work clothes.

thorny: Work shoes, yeah....desert boots at present, because it's dry and I'm only picking fruit and planting out winter vegetables. Heavier leather boots if I'm working in the bush, or in rough ground, and in colder weather. Gumboots for working in the mud, or for mucking out.

Work shoes for Vafhudr might be more the kind one wears with a suit.

With all that snow in North America, I feel almost sorry to say that, here, spring is in the air, and that's really good ! I miss spring in Paris, though...

Yeh pretty much this. I have a uniform of sort for work so I have black shoes and black pants.
My shoes, after this winter, are now almost white from all the calcium on the street.

I have internet again.... I have had an easier time coordinating 3 government agencies to work on the same project than the effort it took to get the internet situation sorted out with ATT....because no one in each division talks to each other.
I'm a writer too,
writing things for you,
Mostly 'pocylyse things though, check out my story from the start, Blog with the Blastwave.

I used to graph peoples posting rates and post counts and try and predict when they would pass each other.  :D

Well, this inspired me to do some calculations:
There are 96222 posts by 1282 members, which means;
The average user here has 76 posts.

The top 10 users by posts have 38% of overall posts at 37473 posts,
The top 15 users have about 50% or overall posts at 46392 posts,
The top 25 users have 65% of overall posts, at 62072 posts,
And... *drumroll please* the top 50 users have 97254 posts, 94% of all posts on the forum. :o

I believe that there's something called the 90/10% rule, that says that 10% of the fandom will have 90% of the posts? Anyway, we have definitely surpassed that. Of course, the majority of member accounts have no posts, or less than 10, so I suppose that makes sense.


EDIT: I forgot to add in child boards so all my calculations are definitely way off. I didn't use the numbers for overall posts from the statistics centre, but added them up myself, so...

I used to graph peoples posting rates and post counts and try and predict when they would pass each other.  :D

That sounds kinda odd but seems like it would be so much fun. :))

There are currently 134034 posts on the forum. https://ssssforum.com/index.php?action=stats

I used to be am an obsessive weirdo  :D

I don't think I've graphed though since Haiz stopped posting so much. I think back then I had a post rate of something like 15 posts per day. And I know for a fact that there were some days I made more than 25 posts in one day. .......I have no life..........

I remember when there were only like three airport rulers.....

The is a truly amazing posting rate!! O_o And hey, thats more of a life than some people have. At least here on the forum we're actively communicating with each other. Sometimes it's hard to realize that the person on the other side of the screen is a person, possibly living all the way across the world, yet amazingly we're all brought together here.

Well, it looks like soon we're going to have a few... what's the next rank up? Wanderer of a Fallen City? A few people are getting close, anyway (namely you and Melusine).

15 post average woah. I think the highest average I've ever had was like 4? I'm only at 2 now. But from what I understand the forum used to be waaay more active than it is now, so that probably helped.  :))

Kinda sad I never got to see it that way though. And to think, if I had gotten hooked on SSSS in 2014 when I originally read the first two chapters, I could have been there.
