some fun facts: dailykos vs. hillaryis44
Advertisements [?]
I don't know how to get the data from this site, maybe the Admin can do it if they are so inclined, but this is pretty much what I expected:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/24/163437/416/562/522170

There has been a lot of talk lately about some Hillary supporters who will actively or passively work against Obama if/when he gets the nomination. One place where these supporters seem to hang out is www.hillaryis44.com

So I decided to compare the userbase of dailykos and hillaryis44 in an attempt to see how widespread this viewpoint is. I have downloaded 100,000 recent posts by users of both sites and looked at the userbase associated with those posts.

IAmNobody's diary :: ::

The dailykos first:
The 100,000 posts were written my 8389 unique users, with the most prolific user posting 813 times.
The top 20 posters have posted almost 8% of the total and the top 550 users posted half of all the posts. 1219 users are "regulars", where regulars are defined as having posted 20+ times,the regulars have posted 68% of all posts..

Now for hillaryis44:
The 100,000 posts were written by 310 users. That is NOT a typo. Three hundred and ten users wrote all 100,000 posts.
The most prolific user posted 7170 times. The top 20 users have posted 45% off all posts and 24 users have posted half of all posts. 171 users are "regulars", where regulars are defined as having posted 20+ times, the regulars have posted more than 99% of all posts.

The top poster on dailykos with 813 posts would be no higher than 63rd on the list at hillaryis44.


I've noticed the same pattern here, but I still found the general math interesting, and maybe you do to.
