You can see the addiction level rise quickly over the past year or so. This doesn't include posts that have been purged in the past, which accounts for about 1,000 posts.

[Edited on November 8, 2005 at 3:32 PM. Reason : i mean i can do it myself, but that sorta seems like hw]

11/8/2005 3:32:36 PM

11/8/2005 3:34:41 PM

11/8/2005 3:36:46 PM

how do you do it? i used to know...don't now

11/8/2005 3:36:57 PM

we seem to be experiencing some non-linearity here folks

11/8/2005 3:38:00 PM

post instructions

11/8/2005 3:40:36 PM

it looks like he made it in excel, which would mean you'd have to enter in all of the dates, maybe there is a quick link way to do it, idk

11/8/2005 3:42:11 PM

macro!

11/8/2005 3:42:45 PM

hmmmm

11/8/2005 3:43:33 PM

I'm thinking c&p it into microsoft word, then you can isolate all the dates and enter them in that way... ?

11/8/2005 3:43:57 PM

dont forget it's a datetime. excel likes them

11/8/2005 3:44:40 PM

DIRECTIONS PLZ!!!!

11/8/2005 3:45:05 PM

meh....good idea but like i said it seems like hw

11/8/2005 3:45:08 PM

If only you could select it so that more than ten or twenty results are put into one age, like 100 or something. I have 64 pages as of yet.

11/8/2005 3:47:24 PM

man thats funny, too much time on your hands

11/8/2005 3:48:01 PM

Joe just told me he's working on a thingie for it. Hey, I'm a Chass-titty and drunk, I'm no good w/ tech stuff.

11/8/2005 3:48:15 PM

i only had like 60 pages, which took about 10-15 minutes to copy into excel... quick plot and BAM. there's gotta be a way to automate this shit, especially for you folks who have 300+ pages.

11/8/2005 3:49:14 PM

if its the way I think it is, it'd take me all day. I have 241 pages of posts

11/8/2005 3:49:38 PM

you can probably have excel load the tww "search for all posts" page and then increment the pages from 0 to your page count

but i'm not sure if you can get it to select copy and paste the data you want

11/8/2005 3:55:03 PM

Or you could grab a random unemployed Comp Sci graduate and pay him $0.50/hr to do it.

11/8/2005 3:56:52 PM

don't forget about the deleted threads, as noted in the first post

how often do you post in chit chat?

[Edited on November 8, 2005 at 3:57 PM. Reason : Ø]

11/8/2005 3:57:16 PM

I do not even have very many posts and I do not wnt to think about doing this...

11/8/2005 4:42:42 PM

nm I'm stupid

11/8/2005 4:43:25 PM

mine peaked over the summer and have really been falling since...

11/8/2005 4:44:14 PM

instructions please

11/8/2005 4:45:37 PM

I would love to do this but I have 235 pages

11/8/2005 4:46:43 PM

just start typing

11/8/2005 4:48:48 PM

What I've figured out so far (I'm getting drunk):

1.) copy everything on the search results page for all your posts
2.) paste it into Microsoft Word
3.) copy the column
4.) open Microsoft Excel, paste.

11/8/2005 4:53:08 PM

^with my 241 pages that would take WAY too long.

You're drinking?

11/8/2005 4:54:48 PM

^^ just copy everything into excel... it puts everything into columns automatically

11/8/2005 4:54:49 PM

yea...um, not doing that for 260 pages

11/8/2005 4:55:38 PM

also I don't have excel on this computer

I would have to go to a lab

and I refuse to go to a lab for the purpose of documenting my TWW post history

maybe

11/8/2005 4:56:28 PM

Yeah I'm not going through the cut/paste/switch window motions for 241 pages!

11/8/2005 4:56:36 PM

I started to do this, but it reminded me waaaay too much of those horrible 302 labs

11/8/2005 4:56:38 PM

haha i got to page 65 out of 80 and then excel crashed. over the last 1 year my rate has been fairly steady. over the last 1.5 years, it has dropped off.

80 pages... 4000 posts. wow i am missing quite a few pages. i know the 1.5 years i posted at a much higher rate.

[Edited on November 8, 2005 at 4:59 PM. Reason : er]

11/8/2005 4:56:42 PM

i bet someone on here knows how to write a scrpit to do it automatically

11/8/2005 4:57:25 PM

i know july of last year was when i started posting heavily

i guess that bit of knowledge will have to do for now

11/8/2005 4:57:54 PM

hey, it could be an ongoing project

you don't have to do all your pages at once, just do maybe 20 pages a day for a couple days

11/8/2005 4:58:00 PM

yeah I'm not going to do that for 80+ pages.

For 2005 only, you can see I really started posting a lot at the start of the semester

11/8/2005 5:04:53 PM

put one of the axis on a log scale and see what hilarity ensues

11/8/2005 5:07:27 PM

vertical line for logx, probably be fairly linear for logy

11/8/2005 5:08:53 PM

ok look this thing wouldn't work for me because there have been several chit chat purges since i've been posting.

11/8/2005 5:20:37 PM

it is ugly...
