Well, on the 'old' board we were discussing 'bout how much of our 200+ members are postin' regulary. 50%? Ha!
Now we've got a fina new function 'called' Memberlist', which shows that only 70 members have posted over 10 posts overall...
And only 25 have 100+ posts.
That means that only 'bout 10% of our members post regulary...I think that's not a reason to be happy.
But:
We've got almost 10K posts...what makes us one of the bigger forums.
BTW: I'm on place 10 in the list (1 place before Qhimm :grin: )
BTW: When I posted this, the last post of every public forum was made by me :wink:

I didn't want to say that it's a reason to be sad, but it'd be fine if more ppl would be postin'...
BTW: What happened to Yuna and EdeaS? Didn't see any posts for a long while...
- Alhexx
-
Of course I can't speak for Yuna, but Alhexx...I'm here...lurking...in the shadows. :wink: I've been a little busy with emulation. And I actually became a mod for an emulation forum- cool huh!
btw- gimme time...i'll hit that 100 post count in due time! :cool:
-
I'm not going to push over that 100 posts border. I was just wondering, b'cause you haven't been posting for SOOOO long...
- Alhexx
-
I figure at my current rate, I'll collect my old age pension when I break the 100 mark. :smile:
Though I'd say that post count for some is not equal to the weight of their content. People like Jari or Halkun that don't have an especially high post count, but always make their point in an intelligent and well spoken manner. (and sometimes verbose-have you seen the length of some of Halkun's posts??? :grin: )
-
What number am I at?
I don't think it matters though people like Jari don't post often but when they do their posts are much more interesting than any of mine, so one jarai post = 10000000 me posts :smile:

England? What's with the posts problem anyway?
-
England is a country Joey, located in Europe and attached to Scotaland and Wales. Us english dudes are responsible for all the posts because we are the ones with no lives :smile:
-
Time flies quite slowly in England.. IMHO~
There's nothing much to do, it is not as busy as the US and you can keep some time for yourself~
-
Time goes at the same speed everywhere. Also there is lots to do and England is busy its just I have no money.
-
Us English guys have no lives.
Speak for yourself m8 :smile:
Qhimm I have an idea.
Get rid of the tab property for the "i forgot my password" text as thats annoying, if ya can, dunno,

I was just trying to stop an argument with Joey over how we have no lives. I have a life. I really dooooooo!!!
-
Probably someone has a 'Half-Life' ? :wink:
- Alhexx
-
Hey I have a life too!!
-
I have a life, some people just wouldnt like it.
Hey about Half-Life? What does it mean? My sister mentioned something about it being really scientifical, couldnt be bothered to ask anything else about it but just wondering if any of you guys know.

I learnt about half lifes and I always wondered if that meant that the radioactive isotopes could never lose all of their radioactivity?
-
THIS IS MY FOURTH POST! YEAH! actually, its more like my 200th, but oh well.
-
hehe...yet again,
You finally registered :smile:

Ever learn about Limits in Calculus?
-
Well, I'm glad I don't have to worry about not having a life.
I live in America. :razz:
I'm not sure if anyone got Alhexx's Joke, but aside from that description of a half-life, "Half-Life" is also the name of a very popular computer game. It's also the game the the extremely popular mod "Counter-Strike" was built upon.
Just FYI.

Oh god I remember them god awfull Half Life calculations in Physics!!!
-
Since I dont know what calculus is I can't answer you trilinear.
we learnt about Half lifes in Chemistry, but the next week I had the flu so I know nothing about them.
CS is the best multiplayer game ever, that takes place on a pc at any rate :smile:
-
Yep, CS is great, but it takes more resources than Half-Life. On my PII 266, which is in a LAN with Yuki's PC, it takes 'bout 7 minutes to load :sad: And then it crashes... whhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I only stayed in long enough to make it through pre-calc, so I never had the pleasure of half-lives. I think I'm glad about that.
Nice to see we can still keep on topic, just like the old forum! :grin:
-
isotopes can never lose all of their radioactivity, because radioactivity decreases as an exponential function.
-
Then again, as you come down to the last radioactive atom, what happens when when it finally comes apart?
-
Actually they do reach a stabilized point at some place.
All the stable elements we have today were radioactive ones a long long time ago.
Of course, some never get a chance to stabilize cause the final amount of neutrons = nothing :wink:
-
That seems to get damn complicated :wink:
- Alhexx
-
qhimm> wouldnt that cause some huge release of energy? :evil:
-
Darkness: Umm, no. :wink:
If something has a halflife of 1 year, what that means is that any given atom has a 50% chance of decaying over the period of a year.
So, given the amount of atoms in even a tiny sample of substance, over 1 year the laws of chance dictate that you're practically certain to get very nearly 50% of the substance decaying.
Eventually you'll get down to one atom ... then, there's a 50% chance that the atom will decay within one year and there'll be no original substance left.
If it doesn't ... well, 50% chance it'll decay the year after that :wink: And so on...it COULD last forever, but it aint likely.
Mathematically speaking, if you LITERALLY halved something, you might have to split an atom, but a half life isn't a literal, exact, halving of the substance ... it's an approximation; but given the number of atoms you're dealing with it tends to average out to almost exactly 50%.
-
i never really thought of it as chance. I just thought of it as a constant function.
-
Nah, it's chance. Lots of things are. It's just that with billions of particles, it all averages out so you can pretty much take it as constant, although it isn't exactly.
