Longest Thread

[Park Kraken]

What is the longest thread here at Sw-Fans? The longest one I could find is War is Imminent with just over 1,000 posts.

[Ryan Pode]

Weeeee. In GJO... like 5k posts

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Check the statistics page.

Who cares is the correct answer

[Vega Van-Derveld]

Evidently Kraken does, otherwise he wouldn't have posted the thread ;)

[imported_Marcus]

Well, he can have a quarter and dial the Salvos, see if they care.

[Vega Van-Derveld]

Oh don't be so uppity :rolleyes :mneh

He was only curious. No need to be mean to him.

Quoted for great truth. This is the sort of thing that was making you not want to post OOC at SWFans anymore. There's no need for it.

Longest thread could either be defined by number of words or number of posts.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

Oh, you had to go and make things all complicated, didn't ya Morg!? *shakes fist*

Then don't reply?

For once, Kraken actually posted a legitimate question. This is behavior we want to encourage instead of the usual spam.

Think positive reinforcement here.

As for longest thread for post-count, I think it would be "Weeeeee".

For content-length....it's probably "Sick Cycle Carousel" or "Carry the World" or one of those.

[Telan Desaria]

welll....my Cat and Mouse thread is upwards of fifteen thousand words penned in just over a month...and now revtialized!!!

[Darth Viscera]

Just click "download thread", rename that download with .txt, copy from there and paste into MS Word, then do a word count. Using this method, the "War is Immiment" thread is 91,177 words long, so that would make each post an average of 83 words long.

The Wee thread is 227,532 words long, which makes each post an average of 35 words long.

o_O That's a lotta work. :)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I have a lotta room to talk! *wriggles around in a tiny space* ^_^; Ok maybe not...

[Sejah Haversh]

I wonder how many words per thread "The Best Archer in Nottingham" has. I'll go find out.

This method also includes the markup (the poster's name, plus various other items) in the word count, so it's a bit inaccurate. Unless you feel like going through the thread and editing all of that out by hand, which could be tedious.

[imported_J'ktal Anajii]

According to the word divided by post count method, Best archer has an average of 477 words per post.

[James Prent]

Just count up how many of those unnecessary words there are in a post, and minus that number from your average. :)

[Crystal]

letsee.. there's

time(date+time+am/pm), post number(post+#), name(most people have two words in their name), "swfans.net poster", style ('style'+stylename[most style names have 2+ words]), their time(Local+Time+time+am/pm),Reply, Edit, Quote, Online or offline.

Does it count numbers as words?


If it does.. that's

About 22 extra words per post... if they don't have any text quotes in their sig.

No it's not, it takes 15 seconds. Or did you think I meant count every word manually instead of using the word count button?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I was referring to the downloading of the thread, opening it in word, etc etc... No I did not think you counted them all manually. :lol

[Morgan Evanar]

The fastest way instead of "download thread" is using the "Show printable version."

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:thumbup that is what I was thinking.
