Congrats!
you’re a little over half way to where i’m at!
Ya, maybe I should chop up all my posts into one or two sentences to bump up my numbers…
you know what funnier? I thought that last comment was directed to Dave Z. gloating about how many comments he makes.
I guess Dave Z. and Stryker do have something in comin.
Where is your Tagboard plugin?
I have another plugin idea.
Comment fields in rss, so you can comment from a feed. Like what’s his name just started. You know
It’s all about the bragging rights to legitimate commenting.
unsubstantiated accusations
Not if he was accusing himself.
I mean, oh well. Dave does not have 100% legitimate comments. He should be docked. Or Jared should create a comment plugin that instead of counts the total comments by a user it counts the words, or spaces would be easier (I think).
If we measured by word count, my counts would be off the charts ahead of everyone else’s, both for posts and comments. I’d probably even take 1st place in commenting on other blogs, ahead of the blog owner.
I think just counting comments is fine. If it was actually something important, I guess I could add an administrative interface to give a particular user “marks” against them for posting comments soley to boost the counts, and then have the number of marks be used to adjust their comment count down on an exponential basis, but I don’t want to go through all that trouble.
To be fair, most of Dave’s comments lately have been legit, and at his current #4 slot, there is a pretty wide margin both above and below him. Even if I went back and deleted the count-booster comments, I suspect he’d probably still be 4th.
Thank you for the backup JB.
Dan, why are picking on me? ok, all is fair in blogdom eh?
Dan, your comments of late have been less than a full sentence. The formula should be every 3 sentences of Dan’s equal one real blog sentence.
So — 300 Dan Comments divided by 3 = 100 , well below Dave Z even with a good unfair comment reduction.
I am the REAL Number 2.
I will take over stryker easily as he is very busy on other things.( Dan would have put this last sentence on a separate comment post )
Let’s go
and all
comment Dan style!
forgot about Nathan being number 3 above
Dave, don’t go crazy just because I stuck up for you one time. You are still BY FAR the worst offender when it comes to bogus commenting, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dan do it.
PS – you will notice that I went back and changed your name on those last ones, so they won’t count towards your number.
I was just fooling around, and censoring those last comments is just.
Iam the worst blog comment offender????
That hurts… : -)
That cant be posible.
I vote for Dan.
You need a tagboard,
Can you have a running comment count for ” bogus” too?
To clarify, I wasn’t saying that you do it any more (except for those last ones), but that historically you have been. Lately, you’ve been doing fine.
I don’t remember Dan ever doing it, except as maybe a joking response to when you were doing it.
The comments above aren’t “censored”, the name is just changed so that they won’t count in your list. Everyone can still see clearly who wrote them, and none of the content was changed.
As for counting bogus ones, they would eventually appear in the list, although I’ll probably modify the plugin to exclude names with the word “bogus” in them.
I took it as a lighthearted comment.
Dan never did it…. I will have to research this.
The bogus count could be the prize, no worries I wont do that on purpose.
Anyways, I guess I am not “jacked in” enough compared to you guys.
the next plugin should be, how many minutes a user spends on the blog. You guys could definitely win at that one.
So what about the commenting through RSS?
Or the tagboard?
Or the users time?
jacked in??
no comprende.
Is Steve Jobs jacked in too?
Tagboard: I will work on (start) when I have time.
Commenting in RSS: I’m not sure if I like this one. It would be pretty easy to modify / plug the rss code to add a comment form in there, but then you’d have a bunch of HTML in there that doesn’t technically belong in a feed which should be pure content. RSS readers that were not web based would act badly (or at least unpredictably) to it, and for those that are web based, the RSS entries already contain links to go to the post and make a comment anyway, so I don’t think it would really be worth it.
User’s time: There are already several stat tools out there that do this, but I’ve never really liked this particular statistic, since it’s inherently inaccurate. The only way you could really do it would be to have code (javascript, java applet, etc.) running that actually keeps track of how long the user has each page open, and posts back to the server when they leave the site. This isn’t that difficult, but it won’t work if the user has scripting disabled, and is therefore inaccurate. Any other methods I’ve seen involve estimating based on number of page requests per session, time between requests, etc., which is also inaccurate and therefore useless to me.
dave, you need to watch the matrix more.
i guess i should clarify my many comments regarding jaredb’s verbosity. i maintain that you convey the same information i do in (at least) three times the words. that doesn’t mean you communicate “more” than me, i just believe you’re less economical in your methods in an attempt to be as explicit as possible.
when you write the word count script, you should add something that counts an image as being worth 1000 words.
and dave, simply posting an image you found on the internet to your flickr account doesn’t count.
ha ha, 1000 words times each picture yes yes it’s all mine!
Mr. Stryker and the rest you all win on the postings. My main goal is the legit comment count prize..
why? so I can put it next to by my polycom video cert on the wall of useless things.
Ya, I understand the point about the lengthy diatribes. I have various feelings on it, ranging from “I have to explain myself in more detail because people will always misunderstand you unless you explain things in detail” to “The volume of my wisdom cannot be contained in brief summaries, even though sometimes people don’t have the mental capacity and attention span to read it all”; it just depends on how arrogant I’m feeling that day.
Long comments are most likely not read in full. It does feel really good to write them when you have a ” burn ” going in the heart about a particular subject for me anyway.
Mr. S. I like your humor and to the point comments too.
JB, I just thought your tactic was to bury the competition under loads of referenced poo*.
* poo – ( pouuu ). n. as in take a poo.
