Sort by country

What exactly is the blue and red bar for?
How many posts made by that country and how many registered for that country?

[Kloreep]

Red bar = users, blue bar = country post count. That's what I can figure out from comparing the UK and UN; almost the same posts, so some blue bars, but the UK, with more users, has a much longer red bar.

[Chilean President™]

Exactly :b:

On the other hands, there are way too many 'weird' countries I've never heard before in that list :eek: *shame_on_me*

[Immortal Wombat]

My country was the bestest until those other three went and ruined it. :(

[Dauphin]

Come and join us on the Cocos Islands.

Highest average pc goes to St Vincent and the Grenadines ...

[vovan]

:lol:

There are almost 300 users that claim to be from my country, and yet their cumulative post count is about 2/3 of mine alone... :hmmm: Maybe I should show some national pride and select the flag... OTOH, they are probably fake OT spammers for the most part - no hurry to join their ranks.

Ooh, I hadn't noticed that one. If I was alone I'd still beat silly old St Vincent. I think I'll stay in Gibraltar: the flag goes nicely with my avatar.

[Aramis]

Look at all the pretty flags. Hmmm, I simply must get an atlas and find the place I'm now from.

[Mercator]

It's one of the English Channel Islands.

/me contemplates threatening other posters with the Mongolian flag to change it, preferably to one of the other highs (they're lowering my average, damnit!) ;)

[Provost Harrison]

The European posters (including my good self :D) seem to be extraordinarily prolific :D

[Skanky Burns]

Speaking of which, is there any reason that some countries have n names in the list (for example, Dauphin and myself for Cocos Islands) yet the sort by country figure lists n+1 people. Who is the missing person and why are they missing?

[vovan]

I imagine that's because for a country to exist, there needs to be at least one member that has that country. Hence, there is a dummy member in each country.

[Skanky Burns]

But then there are some countries that have 1 real member without any dummy members.

EDIT: Montserrat and Turkmenistan

[DrSpike]

Then they must be the dummy! :D

USA! USA!

More accurate would be a sorting by time zone. People may fly weird flags, but they usually set the clocks right.

[Skanky Burns]

Daylight saving makes that inaccurate though. For most of the year I am -1 hour from Poly's Sydney time, for the other part of the year I am +1. I have yet to actually use Sydney time. ;)
But yes, it is more accurate than the voluntary flag arrangemement I would guess.

[Dauphin]

Sydney time is permanently set to happy hour.

I miss the all night cheap drinking. :(

I don't. But this way I always know what time it is here and in Guernsey--just in case it ever comes up.

come to Vegas. Although technically it's not cheap.

[Dauphin]

Free drinks whilst gambling is good. That is 'til you get drunk and decide to bet the house.

I used to use that flag last fall. I don't remember you conquering it from me, but I vow now to take it back!:naughty:

[Gramphos]

I hold about 1/3 of the Swedish posts. :hmmm:

[Gramphos]

Ohoops, it was 1/4 due to that bug that deselects the Country if you update your options.

[Last Conformist]

@Gramphos: :unworthy:

[Dis]

I'm happy to say I have most majority post count of my nation
