As each months Top Contributors post/thread gets more and more vague I thought I wohld throw out a little insight into the numbers for February. These are generalized as there was the loss of posts/stats early in the month and I did do some manual counting in some profiles to get more accurate numbers.
I did not include stats from the top 10% as I still can't find 2 badge awardees or pm has it wrong which isn't the first time what was posted didn't match up to what I found or recorded.
Here are the stats for the top 3 categories...(sorry top 10% I'll get to you if I find everyone?!!)
Oracles ( 9 active/current)
Post/bravo/solutions total : 1133/2242/102 top 3 : 873/1394/81
Its important to remember participation is voluntary and oracles perform many other tasks such as moving threads/posts, editing, providing feedback, meeting with pm, archiving etc.....
Top 1% ( 3 members)
Post/bravo/solutions total : 1177/2653/125 top 3 : n/a
Top 5% (9 members)
Post/bravo/solutions total : 2013/3295/95 top 3 : 978/1371/63
Insights:
The top 1% had 4% more posts than the oracles, 30% more than their top 3 and 20% more than the top 3 of the top 5%. They also had double the solutions of the top 3 of the top 5%, 30% more of all 9. They also had 25% more solutions than the oracles and 40% more than their top 3. They also had 18% more bravos and nearly double as many bravos as the top 3.
The top 3 of the top 5% and the top 3 of the oracles had fairly similar numbers in bravos with 10% more posts but the oracles having 30% more solutions. Looking at all 9 of each group the top 5% had 80% more posts, 45% more bravos but the oracles had 7% more solutions.
There are many more comparisons you could make with these stats....read into it as you will I thought the stat heads out there might enjoy some number crunching now that the Univac 5000 is out for maintenance 'til next month.
