Do you want to know who the REAL threadkillers are? [View All]

WARNING: If you're a little sensitive about this and would take it personally to find out that you're a real threadkiller - read no further. We don't want any hard feelings about this. :D

You know, when you search the archives on DU, the topic comes up and it looks like this:

Hmm. It gives the name of the last person who modified the thread. The thread killer.

A clever person (okay, a bored person with some time on his hands) could take that data, copy it into a spreadsheet, sort it out and derive once and for all who on DU are the ultimate threadkillers.

So I searched the archives in this fashion for all threads over the last week, and had my spreadsheet kick out some numbers as to who the big threadkillers are, and how many threads they've killed this week.

Some other interesting stats I derived:

Forum searched: The DU Lounge
# of threads sampled: 1,076
# of threads killed by the author: 262 (not including 0 reply threads)
# of threads with zero replies: 76

And here it is...

Threadkillers sorted by number of threads killed last week:

I ignored anyone who killed 5 or less threads (amateurs). But if you'd like to know how many threads you've killed last week and are not on the list above, let me know and I'll look at my spreadsheet.

Congratulations, Rabrrrrrr. We bow to your superior threadkilling capabilities. :toast:

And remember, there is no shame in getting the last word in. :D
