Hey...we all make mistakes...just stop watching those alien porno movies....lmao!

Here's the math :-)

Fame can be easily determined mathematically.

1. Go into your profile.

2. Take the number next to "selected as favorite photographer."

3. Square your Average Vote Received.

4. Divide #2 by #3.

This is your fame quotient. The higher the number, the more famous you are. Mine is 3.22


Mine is 11.28 for what it's worth.

I believe many people may know who I am because of several events in my life (thanks again to all who helped). But I do feel that because I am sort of shy and quiet that I am still not famous.

7.3 sort of proves my point.

You are famous to me and my wife Deb. ;)

Still doing the math on mine. I've been here for 5 years now, not sure how well known I am though as I need to make more comments, though I do like being the forums a lot.

Heh! Package went out Monday, by the way. :-)

Deb, even though the numbers may not show it, I feel that you are better known on DPC, thanks in part to your adventures that you so generously share with us, but also because of your tireless commenting.
12/16/2008 05:24:45 PM · #342
i bet like 25 people would recognize me. i recognize maybe 50 or so... recently ive been seeing alot of "new" names only to find out they've been around forever

Deb I just ran your numbers and got 17.01, so you beat me by a mile.

I think some of you are confusing infamous with famous. :D

Ooo, I'm one of each of those, yes!

Out of my own curiosity I compiled a short list.... semi random- people from my fav's, people currently on the forums, people who've posted on this thread....

As I see it one of the biggest problems with the formula posted above, is there is no "time" factor figured in.

Judi..............15.61475434
Bear_Music........11.26790982
Skip..............11.18382164
DrAchoo...........10.16839033
IreneM.............9.21787323
Melethia...........5.94863270
Strikeslip.........4.44937414
dwterry............4.10828717
BAMartin...........2.76912294
GeneralE...........2.08161308
Man_Called_Horse...1.48475443
Nald...............1.05720332
Spazmo99...........1.05575340
MattO..............0.84343812
sabphoto...........0.63880510
goinskiing.........0.49225044
TrollMan...........0.48051043
Vxpra..............0.15569102
agrimace...........0.07882275

Personally, I don't think you can put a number on "how famous are you," I'm just blown away by a couple of the people that have selected me as a "favorite photographer." I must say I am honored and humbled.

Edit to make it a little more readable

Can't believe I spent time on this, but anyway, a new approach to the fame formula. This one focuses more on forum posts and faves rather than scores, I'm also applying weightings to give 'favorited' more of an influence rather than forum activity.

Where m=Membership time in months :

Fame index % =
(((Forum posts / m) / 400) * 0.1) +
(((Profile views / m) / 3,000) * 0.1) +
(((Total image views / m) / 25,000) * 0.2) +
((Favorited as photographer / 1,000) * 0.6)

Using the above formula, I'm getting these scores;

scalvert 87%
judi 67%
bear_music 43%
me 3%

Now, I have one important question; Do I have too much time on my hands? ;-)
