Interesting Crowd Here

#1 Post by Estonut » Thu Aug 11, 2011 6:34 pm

I posted 2 very different news articles within 2 minutes of each other.

Right now, the one about the "Creepy Find" has over twice the views of the one about the "Next Great Burger."

Pipples here are always asking for food trivia, yet, given the choice, they're apparently more interested in ghoulishness than goulash.

ETA: or Creeps over Crepes?

But there are two replies to the "Creepy Find" thread and none yet to the "Next Great Burger" thread. If there are X people interested in the subject line of a thread, it is likely that they will click on that thread each time that they notice someone posting a reply. That means there may only be 1/3 as many BBs actually interested in the former thread as indicated by the views count.

When I started this post, the counts were:
Creepy 28/Burger 13 and neither had a reply.

By the time I hit submit and came back to the Bored, the counts were:
Creepy 30/Burger 13 and neither still had a reply.
