Thought the White Gold anomaly was strange? This is an out-and-out glitch, methinks!

Fastest user:
1 leeharris 0 37.24

What's stranger is that he has had 1 post (and it's his first day), BUT what's even STRANGER is that earlier it was 42 posts instead of the current value of 37! And as I refresh, the # is getting lower! Is it just me?! Cool, anyhow!

Interesting....

Its worked out like averages LF..according to the number Posts made in the number of days one has been a member. It fluctuates. No glitch

Sort of don't understand . . . How does it add up that he makes 30-something posts a day when he has only made 1 in all? Just interested!

Err, I don't get it either, Foul.

Ask Vain for the full story..he might be able to explain it better then I ...I get hopelessly confused when it comes to Probablity and Stats

It's an average of posts made during portion, in this case, of the day. For the first day the numbers are always vastly inflated. The number will rapidly diminish if leeharris makes no more posts today

That's exactly what I was thinking, I just couldn't spit it out. Thanks Damelon

No, I dont think it's a glitch, Foul. I think Damelon is right.

leeharris is also an ancient and well repected member of the Watch, we haven't heard from him in over a year and 1/2 or so...he has amassed a good # of posts on the old Watch and deserves 2 have them carried over...so any glitches should be in his favor...(ps Damelon is right...that's just how it works...)

Yep. Damelon needs the title of Technical Guru

That would be false advertising.

Well you described it a whole lot more succinctly than I would have
