Bery may know.

um, 312.50...nm - x Feb 18, 11:15
bery posted it a while back. search isn't working right now. I'd search upon "individual" with his username, to start. -- nm - b. Feb 18, 11:14
That's not really a poll is it? (nm) - musubi Feb 18, 11:13 35
- "does anyone" is the question. so that's the poll? I would guess no, and exact number is not known. -- nm - amanda Feb 18, 11:14
- What would you call it? -- nm - OAE Feb 18, 11:14 3
  - I think you mean: "Poll: What would you call it?" ;) -- nm - Guigue Feb 18, 11:15 1
    - Brilliant! -- nm - OAE Feb 18, 11:16
  - Um, a question? A request for information> -- nm - mara Feb 18, 11:15
- and there *is* a right answer! -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 11:13 29
  - but accounts made isn't the same as members -- nm - zork Feb 18, 11:14 28
    - Just because account number doesn't match the total, doesn't mean there isn't a total. (nm) - musubi Feb 18, 11:18 2
      - doesn't mean that anyone *has* that total -- nm - zork Feb 18, 11:20 1
        
        If someone doesn't have the total, the correct answer is no. If they do, the answer is yes. So there is a correct answer. (nm) - musubi Feb 18, 11:25
    - doesn't loosi herself have two or three? (I have four.) -- nm - amanda Feb 18, 11:15 24
      - he doesn't count the ones that aren't used. I have not used my other one since may of last year. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 11:16 23
        
        used since when? if I posted with an account last week three times, is that an active account? -- nm - amanda Feb 18, 11:17 22
        
        Whenever he decides the cutoff is. I think he used one month last time. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 11:18 10
        
        and the multiple accounts thing? he just picks which accounts are multiple willy nilly? - amanda Feb 18, 11:20 9
        
        I can't say I give a crap. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 11:21
        
        I used unique active accounts, where an active account was "more than 30 posts in timeframe X", if I recall correctly. The number came out over 100. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 11:21 7
        
        We should have a rite of passage, that way we'd know who's part of the tribe - Guigue Feb 18, 11:23 5
        
        Being banned from ST b/c you pissed someone off. -- nm - OAE Feb 18, 11:25 3
        
        So to get in the tribe you have to get kicked out of the tribe? That's a strange idea - Guigue Feb 18, 11:26 1
        
        No, no. Getting kicked out is the ritual. Not leaving is the badge of a true ST'er. -- nm - OAE Feb 18, 11:32
        
        Ironically, that would never be a banning offense here. Hell, it's practically a requirement. -- nm - mara Feb 18, 11:26
        
        Ooo, like a walkabout, or a peyote trip. -- nm - mara Feb 18, 11:24
        
        (It consistently came out to being over 100, even when I messed with the parameters) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 11:22
        
        Honest question: Why do you have more than 1 account? -- nm - Guigue Feb 18, 11:18 10
        
        there's no rule against it. Some people have registered joke accounts (... those jokes usually wear thin after a week or so :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 11:20 5
        
        I might get a second account to reset my stats. -- nm - amanda Feb 18, 11:22 1
        
        Maybe Bery should have a YTD chart -- nm - Roger More Feb 18, 11:23
        
        FU - Boitch Feb 18, 11:22
        
        Heh. I don't think I registered my favorite joke account here. I might. -- nm - mara Feb 18, 11:21 1
        
        So we'll be getting some fraskal posts then? -- nm - Roger More Feb 18, 11:24
        
        it allows me to be super super bitchy without further damaging my own reputation. - amanda Feb 18, 11:19 3
        
        why worry about it now? - Boitch Feb 18, 11:23
        
        although the "superbitch" nick wasn't too hard to figure out -- nm - poochinski Feb 18, 11:22 1
        
        yeah, I might get a new account there too. -- nm - amanda Feb 18, 11:23
bery does. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 11:13 8
- false. how many usernames do you have? how many do I have? how many people registered and quit? what is an "active member"? what is "tribe"? - amanda Feb 18, 11:15 7
  - Bery made a few posts a while back about how many unique posters there were each month, etc. It should be a good enough proxy -- nm - Roger More Feb 18, 11:17
  - I have one account. I can't get into my other account. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 11:17
  - Tribe is the key here -- we're all gathered around this virtual water cooler... - OAE Feb 18, 11:17 3
    - how often? for how long? how many posts per week is a member? is there an LDP drop? is that a week? a month? -- nm - amanda Feb 18, 11:18 2
      - Oh, and I hereby declare "No right answer!" to be the next ST meme. -- nm - mara Feb 18, 11:19 1
        
        Look up, it's already started! -- nm - Guigue Feb 18, 11:21
  - The whole thing is just one big semantic trap, really. However, when I'm describing my online community to people, I say "roughly 100 people" just to - mara Feb 18, 11:16
