CSB Thread: Mud Getting Desperate At End Of Threads Life

[Strange Mud]

We mentioned that this thread the Grammar Nazi is not welcome

 

[Subliminal]

A slow work day. So I want to take a moment to examine something said earlier in this thread.





@zrickety's claim.

Is there any truth to this statement? Or is it just more fake news and BS from the man himself?

LET'S FIND OUT!!

The CSB & Scamdemic Microanalysis

Preface
I called this a 'microanalysis' because I only had the patience to look at the last 7 full days of data; Wednesday, January 19th through Tuesday, January 25th. If there was a way to extract post data and it didn't have to be done manually by hand, I think some far more interesting statistics could be derived. Alas, we are limited to the tools at hand.

The Claim
@zrickety is claiming the Cool Story Bro thread (henceforth referred to as 'CSB') is dying, by his statement of "I came here to breath life into this one". The wording "this one" is a clear reference to the CSB thread. The phrase "breathe life into" indicates a sign of something dying. At its core, it is a reference to CPR, and a method used to revive someone who has stopped breathing; i.e. dying. He goes on to claim, "my thread is doing just fine".

Method
In terms of a forum thread, what indicates a thread is dying, and what indicates a thread is doing fine? One could argue that the actual contents of the thread are what indicate if a thread is doing fine or dying, however, this is not a quantifiable measure and is purely subjective. An analysis of the post count and frequency is a far better method, as without forum users posting to a thread, it would "die" and no longer be active. This analysis looks at the posting count for each of the 7 prior days, making a note of the first post on or after 12:00am, and the last post before or on 11:59pm. With those post numbers, the first post number may be subtracted from the last number to get a count of how many posts were submitted within that 24 hour window.

The Data

Analysis

View attachment 236987

A quick glace of the data does show the CSB thread to be at a commanding lead over the Scamdemic. With a difference of 587 posts in a week period in favor of the CSB thread, is received a whopping 376% more posts in the measured period. The CSB thread received an average of 106 posts per day (PPD), where the Scamdemic had a PPD of only 22. On a daily average, CSB receives nearly 68% of the Scamdemic's weekly posts.

Conclusion
As per the usual for the Scamdemic thread, @zrickety chooses to ignore fact based data, and deduce his own conclusion that fits his personal narrative, without any actual evidence. Except, I'm sure he could probably find an unverified tweet to back up his claim.

(dramatization)

The CSB thread does not need life breathed into it, and the data shows that the Scamdemic thread is not doing "fine", by any stretch of the word. While it once was a bastion of entertainment and post activity, the Scamdemic thread is now nothing but a shadow of its former self, and is in fact lacking the homeless person stamina it once had. In its heyday, the argument of a married couple could eclipse the CSB post count in a single night. But long are the days where you would sign off at 10pm, and wake up at 8am with 20 pages to catch up on. Now, you can leave the thread for a day, and barely have 20 posts to catch up on.

While it is doubtful the thread will ever truly die, with a daily post count low of 8 posts (on January 1/21/2022), it is clearly evident that in the not so distant future, it will be reduced to a single man talking to himself, while he tells himself how awesome he is and lives rent free in everybody else's head.

I'll say it again: obsessed

They call it a rear wiper, but how effective would it be at wiping my rear?

Rule #3 of your first post in this thread says otherwise

 

[Acadia18]

I'll say it again: obsessed

Are you guys obsessed with the pandemic and current political climate since you talk about it ad nauseam?

Not obsessed, just bored, and wanted to examine a claim that was made to see if it was valid. I mean, isn't that your guys whole thing? Not just believe what your told, and actually do your own research?

But of course, when it doesn't fit the outcome you want, it's a waste of time and your just "obsessed".

Depends on if you're sitting down or standing up.

damn you used facts and data to completely prove that statement was untrue.

Here's the problem, the fact that your mind went to hard data instead of random tweets and made up data to supply the confirmation bias they're looking for makes you a government shill.

I wonder what % of total forum posts go to CSB vs scamdemic. Further more if we were to discuss member engagement I would be curious to see see how many members posted in scamdemic vs members posting in CSB. I feel like a majority of the scamdemic posts may actually be z trying to keep his own thread alive.

Nowadays, it is the same group of 4 or 5 members just talking about the same things over and over again.

It wasn't always that way though. It didn't get up to over 4,000 pages & 60,000 posts by being that. In it's prime, say Winter 2020 into Spring 2021, it was entertaining as hell. To give @zrickety credit, I doubt the forum will ever see something like it again. You literally could go to sleep and wake up to 20 - 30 pages to catch up on. And not just the usual drivel that goes on over there now. Actual entertaining stuff.

I thought it was worthy. Of course the SCAMdemic thread's dying...it's just the same handful of myopic, gullible, sillies bandying about the same three comments: Biden sucks, liberals suck, COVID's fake. All they do is change how they say it again and again. That thread is like the Taco Bell of the forum... "Hey look, something new! It's still beef, cheese, tortillas, lettuce, and sour cream, but you've NEVER had it arranged like this before!"

Hey now, no need to bring Taco Bell into this.

Though my wife is still mad about the Mexican Pizza, and I'm mad about pretty much everything all the time. Hmm, maybe I should go to that other thread after all.


sike, no way am I wading into that cesspool

I'm also still mad about the Mexican Pizza! I heard though that they may be reviving it, with additional varieties as well, like a ranch version, etc.

Well worth quoting due to effort put in, charts/graphs, & using different sizes of text with bold for headings & sub headings!..

So similar to my actual job. Put a bunch of effort into generating some reporting, and it just gets ignored.

& then some smart arse goes TLDR, & then askes a stupid question & you end up requoting part of what you already stated & think to yourself...."go read & understand what I already wrote you thick sh1t!!"...

The choice is simple. Go to "that" thread for polarizing topics, or stay in this thread for pole-rising discussion.

Confused due to the "tracks" this thread has made.....


Do you mean he'll shag anything??...

or do you mean he identifies as a she, or a "they"???....

or do mean that the person always states both sides of an argument & never commits to a particular view????....
