Earlier today, I grabbed this image from user #1's user page.

Really, what we're all aiming for is more like this:



See? 1337 comments, not 666 links!

I just checked, and:

cCranium has posted 10 links and 1457 comments to MetaFilter

I'm mildly creeped out my how long you're keeping screenshots of my posting counts.

There's also the small matter of comment to link ratio. cCranium is doing great there with a 130:1 ratio, but mathowie is setting a bad example with essentially just a 2:1 ratio.

And QED I have proven that cCranium is 65 times cooler than mathowie.

Whoa! Make that 72.5 times cooler!

You know, all this silliness is great, but I really resent you guys making all these silly threads in MetaTalk. Are you some kind of geeky clique or something?

I would say 'take it to MetaTalk', but we're already there...
Can we at least hit the next person who says 'Zippity foo' with a 2x4?

Hey, I'm just trying to foil his master plan

Is that how it works? I must say I occasionally feel guilty when I catch my own ratio
(--that's 43:1). I feel like all I do is blabber and bitch, instead of posting good links. I think a 15:1 or 20:1 ratio is probably ideal.

Either that, or I think about these things way too much... :-)

Ouch, 2.75:1... Well, you're all boring anyways

I'm glad to see we've figured out a new MeFi Chic metric. I was getting tired of that low-user-number thing anyway.

"tj has posted 2 links and 156 comments to MetaFilter" damn.. I'm chattier than I thought, yet very cool.
