RushRevisited Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 If you were new here, and decided to read every single post on the board from beginning to end and you could put, let's say, 8 hours every single day into it... How long would it take you? Let's see... Assuming you could read each post on average in 15 seconds (some posts taking 1 second, some taking 20 minutes to read in some cases) and get to the next thread/message in that time, then you could do 4 posts per minute. 1,048,000 posts divided by 4 = 262,000 minutes. 262,000 minutes divided by 60 minutes = 4366 hours of reading. 4366 hours of reading divided by 8 hours per day = 545.75 days. But wait... While you were reading 8 hours per day the last year and a half, we accumulated an additional 505,475 posts... [338,064 posts / year (actually much more now because that average includes the beginning times with very few posts per day). But to take that average and divided it by 365 (days/year) gives you 926 additional posts per day. 545.75 days x 926 = 505,475 additional posts..] 505,475 posts divided by 4 = 126,369 minutes. 126,369 minutes divided by 60 minutes = 2106 hours of reading. 2106 hours of reading divided by 8 hours per day = 263.25 days. You have now been reading a post every 15 seconds, 8 hours per day, for 809 days... 2.2 years straight... But more posts accumulated in that last 263 days... 243,538 to be exact... 243,538 posts divided by 4 = 60,885 minutes. 60,885 minutes divided by 60 minutes = 1015 hours of reading. 1015 hours of reading divided by 8 hours per day = 127 more days. 936 days of reading and an additional 117,602 posts to read from that last 127 days... 117,602 posts divided by 4 = 29,400 minutes. 29,400 minutes divided by 60 minutes = 490 hours of reading. 490 hours of reading divided by 8 hours per day = 61 more days. So when would you catch up? In the end, if you started right now, reading 4 posts per minute for 8 hours per day, assuming no growth in the board, always averaging just 926 posts per day, you would read for 1055 days straight. 2.89 years...

circumstantial tree Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 If you started reading all the posts, you would never catch up because somewhere between the first post and the last post, so many new posts would have been added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, if you read my whole post, I accounted for that based on current average over last 3 years The only way you wouldn't catch up is if our average soared to over 2000 posts per day, at which time you would either have to dedicate more than 8 hours per day or read faster than 4 posts/minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
