Got on at about 9:30pm local time, and its 1:30am now (so that's about 4 hours of continuous posting)...time certainly goes by. I was actually in a bit of a slump in the past few days (yet I've maintained my longest stretch of days of not missing a post; 42)...but today I've posted about 80 (I've lost count)...my highest for any single day (do any of you keep such records?). Not including breaks.etc what is your record?

Well...there have been times when I've made over 100 posts in one day. I think I've made 200 posts on at least one day or two..

I have't really kept track.

Last night, I was logged in here from about 9pm til 4am.  I didn't post much, I pretty much just lurked around the forum, or hit the arcade.  I do that alot now.  In my early days, I'd post like a maniac.  I've probably did a little over 100 posts in one day

I think the latest time I ever posted was 2 AM local time. The earliest was approximately 5:40 AM.

As for the highest number of posts I ever made in one day, I haven't kept track of that. I'd have to thumb through my post log, and that'd be tedious; I don't have time to do that. But I do think it's around 200.

Most of my posts are around the 8 to 10 PM area.. I also have a few in the 6-7 AM and 3-4 area.. right before and after school. Weekends are different.

My biggest posting marathon was Thanksgiving of last year (That'd be 2004's Thanksgiving)... it was just me, my friend's computer, a good connection, a big bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, 13 Hours Until I Had To Be Home For The Meal, and my friend was unconscious... got to bed late, slept very late into the afternoon. I posted at least 300 in one half-day period.

4 Hours. Heh, amateur *snickers*

I usually post on and off between 4pm and 2am weekdays, and on and off all day weekends

School holidays is when I post more, partly due to the fact I have more time

I'm thinking of giving a whole weekend to the purpose of doubling my post count (from 1167 to about 2300). That's 1100 posts in 3 days. Think I can do it? Do I have any challenges?

I'm sure anyone with that much time could do it. Don't ask me why anyone would, though.

Let's see...that would be approximately 367 in one day (rounding to the nearest whole number)... or 15+ in one hour (may be higher, depending on how many hours in a day you'd devote to this). Maybe you could. One idea is to make some posts in the PBG's. ;)

I have never keep a record like that, but it still could be work out. Though I am will to go for it!

That's what I was thinking. I know it's sort of taking the easy way. You could easily post at least a post a minute in the PBG; and there are 60x10 = 600. So you could technically post 600 message in a 10 hour period!

I have just started a marathon now, currently on 57334 posts.

I sure could! That is, if I didn't take a break.

I gotta catch up to Phil, though. Maybe I should bring my radio into the room and post the songs I listen to on "What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?"

I just list down all the songs I have in my itunes collection...regardless of whether I'm listening to them or not. So I could post 4,500 song titles just on that alone...

I do list the actual song I am here, like now The Kinks' Waterloo Sunset has just finished.

My primary source of listening to music is the radio. And often times when I'm on the 'puter, I'm not listening to one. That's mostly because I'm on a public computer...and there are a couple of localities with public computers in which I hear Muzak playing; that's my secondary source of hearing music. And when I'm at home, like I am right now, the radio is not in the same room as the computer, so I have to turn it up so I can hear it in the next room. Either that or I could bring the radio into the room.

How about a personal listening system like iPods?

Right now I can hear Daniel Powter's 'Bad Day' playing in my sister's room...

I think I may be on my longest posting marathon right now, having been at the 'puter for 2 1/2 straight hours; in addition, this is the 116th post I've made since I logged in today.

Good work nally. I think I've cracked 100 posts a day not long ago, but the record I'm sure of is 87 posts in a 24-hour period.

There've been a few times in the past when I've made 100 or more posts in one day. In fact, there may have been a 200-post day for me one time, but I don't remember when that was.

I am going for it today, to reach the 60,000 I will have to do 392 posts for the day and I am going for it!

Go for it...I'll give you three karma points if you do it by midnight local time...

It's nearly 4pm now and I'm on 1861, and at 9:30pm last night I was on 1757...That's 104 posts in less than 18 hours!!

I don't think you can give more than one karma point to the same person in the same 24 hour period; I tried that once and I couldn't do it. Right after I make this post I'll give you one karma point.

You can only karma once in 24 hours...but I was planning on doing it three days in succession.

I started back at 8:30 this morning!

Well, yesterday would be my longest, although it was interspersed.

I talk to people on AIM, MSN throughout the day so I am often online, but not here.
That being said, yesterday, I logged on at about 10:30 and didn't log off until about 12:00PM.

However, in that time, I went out for lunch and dinner, did my laundry, had a good 10 mile bike ride, etc..etc.

I would say, through the day I clocked about 8 hours  :o

Nothing much else to do...?

Says you! I cannot be on the 'puter twenty-four-seven; I have important things in life to take care of, in addition to being on here. What I need to do really is figure out how to budget my time better.

I believe my record's about 125 posts in a 24-hour period...

Best achieved 470 posts in a 24 hour period, but then 3 were deleted.

I know I've made >200 posts in a 24-hour period on numerous occasions, but I haven't kept track of exactly how many.

Btw, thanks for bumping this thread, Philip O0

My usual input for a day is 250 to 300 on a good day.

My usual input for a day when I'm not on the computer very long is anywhere from 0 to 20.

I have already exceded the amount for my usual day.

It seems that as each day moves on, I excede more and more.

Okay, I think I've just made one of my longest posting marathons today...I have been on line for almost three hours and am about to make my 175th post for the day!

Yesterday I was online all day and achieved over 500 posts, today is not so bad.

^wow wee...that's an awful lotta posts in one day. :o I don't think I've ever made half that many posts in one 24-hour span before.

26 miles and 385 yards...that makes sense, as the L.A. Marathon from 2 weeks ago covered that distance.

26 miles and 385 yards...that makes sense, as the L.A. Marathon from 2 weeks ago covered that distance.
The marathon at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London was set to measure about 25 miles (40 km) and to start on ‘The Long Walk’ – a magnificent avenue leading up to Windsor Castle in the grounds of Windsor Great Park. The Princess of Wales wanted her children to watch the start of the race, so the start of the race was moved to the east lawn of Windsor Castle, increasing its length to 26 miles (42 kmThe race was to finish at the Great White City Stadium in Shepherd's Bush in London; however, Queen Alexandra insisted on having the best view of the finish; so, in the words of the official Olympic report, "385 yards were run on the cinder track to the finish, below the Royal Box". The length then became 42.195 km (26 miles 385 yards or 26 7⁄32 miles).

This has made an awfully long-distance race even longer to run!

I might have had one of my longest posting marathons today, as I have already made a whopping 220 posts today alone! :o

Since 7:30 this morning (now 9:30pm) and with a break this morning of two hours or so, I have made 420 posts today.

I should say so... I guess if I had nothing better to do on a given day, maybe I could shoot for that target.

something I definitely needed after finishing my final yesterday!

and I'll undoubtedly need some more after finishing up this paper which I have been working on this evening.


And then I might go for another posting marathon if I'm up to it...

You maybe far to exhausted for such a thing?

It has been somewhile since I have had a true posting marathon, but one day I shall try for one.

I haven't cared about my post count in quite some time.  In the old days, I used to watch it like crazy to try and get it as high as I could.  Ask me now though, and I'd have no idea how many posts I make per day, etc ... LOL

This evening I achieved a pretty long posting marathon, making more than 120 posts in just a little over 2 hours. That's roughly 1 post a minute!
