It's a decimal, not a comma. :)
I've been logged in 6 days and 8.5 hours. What am I doing with my life??
I have .585 posts per day, and Tuesday will be my two-year anniversary with the forums. :)

I cleaned up the members database a while ago (and I know Ben did a few years ago). When I did it, 70% of the database consisted of people with zero posts - those with no posts who had last logged in over six months ago (I think) were deleted, which cut the database size down by more than half. There is, of course, the possibility that those who have no posts but do log in are lurkers who like to have the forum software keep track of what posts they have read.
CrowFairy:
I just checked, and I went a full three months between my first three posts and my fourth. But I was still reading the posts. I think it's important to account for lurkers. :) The ones who haven't logged in in more than six months probably aren't coming back. And if they do, what are the odds that they will actually remember their username and password?

Depends on where you live. Comma in these parts.
Here's a deal. You give up foot/pound/gallons and convert to metric. We give up on decimal commas and start using a decimal point instead.
After that we only need to agree to disagree on the meaning of billion, trillion et cetera.
Bluesummers:
How could a billion possibly be something other than a billion? :psyduck:
I spend my entire junior year chemistry class by pissing off the teacher, who insisted that metric was superior to the apothecary system (what's used in the United States), because there was "no link between units of measurement".
Truth be told, I do like metric more than standard U.S. measurements, but I was bound and determined to prove her wrong:
1 pint = 1 pound (assuming volume density 1:1 relative to water, same as 1mL = 1cm3.
1 gallon = 231 in3 (exactly 231...no rounding or whatever)
She did eventually recommend me for AP Physics. ;D
