I can't believe the majority of the active members are teenagers (or younger).

Case-in-point: I'm well out of my teens and according to my profile, I fall into the "Under 20" category (on purpose, BTW). LOL!!


Must be the ones without any age/date info posted have fallen into the under 20 group. Probably could lump those into other/undefined.

Well, my wife would say I'm a DPCholic (or photo nut), but I think I missed the cut with 199 challenges (3 in voting now) and 101 or 102 weeks at DPChallenge. So, who's the other DPCholic I wonder?

BTW - With the next upcoming Open challenge on Wednesday I'll be at 200 challenges. Woohoo! :D

Yeah, I've turned into a real slacker with only 393 challenges in about 240 weeks ... I'm not sure what the 20,211 posts amount to ... probably not that much. : (

Very interesting data and a big kudos to you for doing all that work!
 11/13/2006 08:39:21 PM · #34
Having missed Addicted by 27 challenges (156 weeks, 129 Challenges) and missing out on the age categorization as there is no category for those who are "ancient + 3 years" except the dreaded "other" I can only say, this is a great start to a new era of numbers.

More or less seriously, this is a delightful way to use numbers/statistics. I hope you continue the research. Perhaps also factoring in the forum threads, also readily available on our Profile Pages.

yianisn continue along this path, administrators willing. It's interesting, and it's fun.

Thank you.

Wow - I think I just fall into the DPCholic category - 39 weeks and 79 entries - 2.03 per week. Thats probably not a good thing.

Evidently, my mother (or father) had a camera in-hand when I was conceived. :-o

I hate to be a wet blanket here, and while I do think your use of the script and subsequent activity is innocuous, I will point out one little line from the Terms of Service

(section 4.3) (iv) use a robot, spider or other device or process to monitor the activity on or copy pages from the DPChallenge.com Web Site,

Having said that, I am only one SC member and am just speaking for myself. Others can chime in if they feel differently.


Google does it very actively on DPC, very easy to see all the photos and even all the forum entries by googling your user name.

You should have "screen-scraped" the equipment section. I would like to know the camera and the lens with the most ribbons.

Also, I wonder what the forum posts-to-ribbons ratio is? Do more ribbon winners not post forum messages? lol!

Yeah, I think I averaged about 3 entries a year while I was on SC. Inactive wasn't exactly the word I would have used to describe myself...but it probably should have been. ;)

That's a lot. Makes my 50 entries this year seem so low.
