let's calculate my popularity score: 392 likes received / 957 posts = .41
this only means one thing:
Mine is worse - 3!!!
Popular? I don't know who told you that or exactly what they meant, but I'm going to take a numerical approach. Popularity generally means that people like you, and on a message board like this one, that pretty much equates to liking your posts. Using the forum's "like" feature as a way of estimating, I would try to determine the probability of people liking something you post, and see how your numbers compare with those of other members.
To estimate the probability that someone will like one of your posts, I divide the number of likes you've been given (as of this writing) by your total number of posts. That gives us 200/3761 = .05.
To compare your score with other members, I used the "what are you thinking about" thread, because it has so many posts. I picked people who had a total number of posts that had the same number of digits as you (I didn't want to pitch you against AD veterans with tens of thousands of posts, and at the same time didn't think it would be useful to compare you to people who've only recently introduced themselves.)
So I chose three people for a loose estimate, working backwards from the last page of the thread and picking people with total posts in 4 digits. I found Angel1989, caz, and femme Fatale. Their scores averaged out to .21, which is slightly more than 4 times greater than your score of .05.
To get a more accurate description, we should calculate popularity scores for many more people, but this loose calculation suggests that the average alldeaf member (with a total post tally roughly like yours) is at least 4 times more popular than you are.
I've been hearing I'm really popular. I why that is, but I was that way in school, too. I don't know why I'm so popular, when some members say I annoy them with my posts. Ah, well. I suppose I'll have to get used to being popular around here, and not LET IT INFLATE MY EGO. Just keep mellow, and I'll be all right. Sometimes I wonder what it would've been like if I hadn't found this site that morning on Nov. 21st. It's been nearly 3 months, and my popularity seems to be going up, and I have no idea why. Oh well.
Mark! This sounds little bit egocentric. That's why people made comments about you being popular. You should just say Thank you next time when someone compliments you.
OUCH Think I broke two toes last night. Jammed them really bad in the dark. They have been throbbing all night. Can't even put the blanket over them. I don't think there is anything I can do about it since it's the two small toes.
Funny because I was joking I was going to kick my tv last night when cable died. Karma!!!
