gunner154 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Alas, perhaps it is good that the forum is staying this way. People who enjoy BH/KJA stuff wouldn't be feeling at home here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acriku Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Is the pregnant scheme intended to persuade an affirmative response to your proposal? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner154 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 2000 a month? Yes, that's a tall order. I'm starting to miss those days..

Andrew Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The average US wedding costs around $15,000. Anyone smart enough would not spend that money and put it towards a registered education savings plan for their children so they can go to university when they grow up. Or they could blow it on a couple day ceremony. Then have a 45% chance of getting divorced within 30 years. And if you are part of the 45%, there is a 30% chance it will occur on your 5th wedding anniversary.Stats Canada on divorce rateAlso if you get divorced when you have children they will develope mental problems. Study: Divorce and the mental health of childrenMarriage sounds like so much fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 @Andrewin Denmark we have free education. You only have to pay for the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Damn socialist countries! What will they think of next? Free healthcare? Only the rich and insured should have that right ;)EDIT:Oh yah Canada and Denmark are still disputing Hans Island. I say we setup a bar and a hockey rink there and let it be neutral ground where we can party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nampigai Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 actually she is blond, however I'll be sleeping alone tonight - she works night shifts this week.In Denmark there's a debate of if we should keep giving Greenland money or make it a loan instead, according to american geoligists claims that there's oil for DKK 1.200.000.000.000,00 in Greenlands underground. That's alot of money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Greenland is part of Denmark, so wouldn't you just tax the oil they get out of the ground and redistribute that wealth across your country?In Canada the province of Alberta is super rich because of oil, but they have to give money to the federal government who transfers it to the poorer provinces.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_payments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the good ol'days...Yes, I've been looking at those stats, and I can see why the number of posts per month declined in the years after the release of Emperor, but I don't understand why it declined so much in 2006 (and then remained more or less constant in 2007). What changed between January 2006 and today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What changed between January 2006 and today?Umm, The rate of posts is still decreasing. It has never really stayed steady since Jan 2006.If anyone has minitab, input the numbers and do some statistical analysis. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Well today we've had 60 something posts, and by the end of the day it'll be about 70 I guess (its quarter past ten at night here), so if we kept that up each day, we'd have over 2000 posts a month. I've actually enjoyed posting so much today, and to see other people doing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yes, the more people post and start topics, the more that people can respond and have conversations.When no one is posting, then it is difficult for anyone else to post because you feel like you are talking to yourself.

Edric O Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Emperor WOL servers finally went totally offlineDidn't that happen earlier? And we still have XWIS...Umm, The rate of posts is still decreasing. It has never really stayed steady since Jan 2006.If anyone has minitab, input the numbers and do some statistical analysis.I actually did that already, back in the spring of 2007. I found exactly what I expected: the number of posts is falling at a declining rate. Our monthly post counts since 2003 fit pretty well on an exponential decay function. Notice that we had the greatest post rate per month in late 2002 / early 2003:June 2003 - 7180 new postsMay 2003 - 7534April 2003 - 9061March 2003 - 13661 (maximum ever reached)February 2003 - 12873January 2003 - 13434December 2002 - 11000November 2002 - 11270October 2002 - 12012September 2002 - 12069August 2002 - 9399July 2002 - 6170June 2002 - 3010We don't have records from before June 2002, but I think it's safe to say that our post rate in 2001 was pretty much as low as it is today.

gryphon Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 actually she is blond, however I'll be sleeping alone tonight - she works night shifts this week.You know having a job isn't enough for her. If she doesn't get married soon you'll have to send her back the way you got her. . .. *cough*mailorder*in Denmark we have free education. You only have to pay for the books.So how's that been working out for you.I am still flattered that you like me NaMp, if you are serious about kids shouldn't you think it is time you tell that blond about your little accident a while back..she has a right you know...
