Carnage
Back with a Boom Clap
The following is what Conal did. Unfortunately the link to his time against posts graph no longer works

Man I'm really bored.....
32nd with a loooong way to go, even if mano1 stopped posting today at your current rate it would take nearly three years to catch him (1029 days to be precise).
and this takes me to sadgit levels....
If you doubled your post rate and Mano1 carried on at his own then it would take 4 years and a grand total of 16 and a half thousand posts just to draw level!!
Here's how I did it in MATLAB
code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mano1_posts=6146 %(6.78 posts per day)
carnage_posts=889 %(5.11 posts per day)
days=0;
while carnage_posts < mano1_posts
carnage_posts=carnage_posts+5.11;
days=days+1;
end
days
years=days/365
carnage_posts=889;
mano1_rate=6.78
carnage_rate=5.11*2
days=[];
i=1
days(i)=1;
mano1=[];
carnage=[];
mano1(days(1))=mano1_posts;
carnage(days(1))=carnage_posts;
while carnage(days)<mano1(days)
i=i+1;
days(i)=i;
mano1(days(i))=mano1(days(i-1))+mano1_rate;
carnage(days(i))=carnage(days(i-1))+carnage_rate;
end
days(i)
plot(days,mano1,days,carnage)
title('How long to catch up?')
xlabel('Days')
ylabel('Posts')
legend('Mano1','Carnage',2)
grid
years=days(i)/365
total_posts=mano1(days(i))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now thats a fact!
