Start planning out your posts. We just need eight well thought out posts from eight people each day for the next four days. (Look how easy that is. Now we only need seven posts on the final day.)

Or you could just tap the twitter api to push our tweets to this thread...

Eight well thought out posts a day? And you have this expectation because?

We've broken the FK! The forum index says there are 975 posts, but the thread before this one is labeled as 976. I went through all of the posts and didn't find any deleted threads...

Edit: the index is the number of replies, excluding the initial post. The numbers on the posts start at one, including the initial post.

what i'd like to know is how many users have contributed to this thread and what their percentage of participation is.

[argonauta]

that should be quick with a sql query. Planet, can you give me the db password, just for a couple of mins, please?

[Genesis F5]

Don't worry, I have the answers! . I put together a VB app that downloads the pages, uses a regular expression to parse out the names, then adds them to an array that's run through at the end to calculate the frequency. What I didn't write was a sort routine, so my apologies if when sorting manually, I put you in the wrong spot.
