I have no idea how you programmed this, but I'll challenge you to do it again with first posts (creating threads.)

I suppose it depends on whether you consider yourself a type 1 or type 2 poster.*

I know for a fact that grad_devil is not to be trifled with on the programming front. I’ve seen some of gd’s other DBR programs and I’m pretty sure he might be Zuckerberg keeping an eye on us. Originally Posted by DU82

Can they program a mobile mode that is actually useful and not stuck in the '90s? Originally Posted by bundabergdevil

The WSSU game thread brought to light another common way to be thread killer. Simply be the last poster before the in-game thread gets shut down and the discussion moves to the post-game.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."

Not that anybody asked, but since I had the code, I ran it on the OT board, too.

Thanks. I rarely post on the main board and have no idea what I would have posted there. Lol.

That's more like it! Tied for 37.
There are a lot of names that I have forgotten about.

I went from the Top 10 to out of the Top 100. I've got some serious work to do. Originally Posted by grad_devil

I believe that most of #4 -jk's final posts ended with the words -- "This thread is closed."

Seems to me that if you looked at total number of posts and then looked at number of thread-killing posts, you could compare the two and see if anybody really is a thread-killer. In other words, if the top 10 posters are also the top 10 of last posts, a likely conclusion would be that the fact that they had the last post in a thread is simply a matter of frequent posting. However, if somebody were ranked, for example, 25th in total number of posts, but 2nd in thread-killing posts, that person would likely be a bona fide thread killer. (Of course, you would have to eliminate posts by moderators that were specifically designed to close hostile threads.)
If you really wanted to drill down (which I certainly don't), I suspect that some of the so-called "thread-killing" posts weren't actually thread killers at all; sometimes a thread will die off for a day or two, maybe even fall to the bottom of the first page or top of the second, and then somebody thinks of something they wanted to add to it, so they dig it up and add a thought. The thread was actually already dead, in other words, and they just came along and gave the carcass a tiny kick. Using the methodology that only looks at the last post in a thread, the person who just nudged the dead horse would be credited with having killed the thread, when in fact the thread was already dead and their afterthought failed to revive it.
Long story short ("too late for that," I hear you saying), absent a lot of hard work, I think it will prove impossible to definitively say whether we have any real thread killers among us."We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M.

I made both lists (94 and 66th). I'm so proud...I think...
Coolest part of looking at the list and seeing some of the old names that aren't around anymore.
