OT: smileys

[muhoosier260]

what are the odds we can get a smiley counter? just so everyone knows who's cool enough to rack up a smiley tally. i'm going with spiral in the lead

[spiral97]

what do you mean by smiley counter?

[muhoosier260]

like the dunk counter, except everytime someone uses a smiley its documented

[spiral97]

and why?

[rocky_warrior]

I believe it's a joke spiral - and if muhoosier260 would have used a smilie it may have been more apparent 

[tonyreeder]

that exchange should make the message board hall of fame.  not good when you have to be told you're being made fun of.

muhoosier260 - you failed the prediction but not by much... Ziggy is our winner.. rocky (who felt compelled to "enlighten me" ) is number two.. I am allll the way down to number 4  .. and muhoosier260, I colored your name in the table brown for you to find it easy since you were so interested.  By the way, multiple smiley's in one post did not cause the post to count more than once.. so being extra.. uh.. emotive had no influence on the results

I only "smiley" when I'm half in the bag.  Hmmmm.........., guess I need more vodka. 

[LastWarrior]

I'm very disapointed that i'm 8th... 

[muhoosier260]

thank you for the continued effort on this thread spiral. now everyone knows where everyone stands. how on earth did you find that out anyways

[spiral97]

just two 1-line SQL queries with the results exported into excel and then some sorting, filtering, vlookuping, and forumlas   I *heart* databases and excel - you can do anything with them just gotta get the data in em first.

[TallTitan34]

Not to boost my total or anything but

I actually grimaced in pain as I reread what I had typed.....

I'm actually really emoticon-al.  Now leave me alone.

Probably not a good idea to pick a fight with a computer genius, but I question your numbers.  I thought that number seemed high for me because I didn't think I used smileys that often.  Granted, it's probably my mistake, and you'll explain everything to me to show me where I'm wrong.

Looking back at my posts (it's easy enough to do) I see that I have 128 posts (even though the site lists me at 121).  In those posts, I only noticed 13 times that I used a smiley (and another six times that I quoted a smiley).  That's just barely more than 10%.  To reach the 28.13% figure you listed, I'd need to have smileys in 36 posts.  I'm not even close.

Am I missing something?

Edited to add:  I didn't check this, but I'm wondering if the higher number would reflect posts in which I am quoted that also have a smiley (either one I put in originally or that the person quoting me put in).

im impressed i made the board at all.  i don't remember using any smiley faces.  i guess that is what happens when you do drunk message boarding.
