Just use 26th July 1998 as the date, in lieu of anything better.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry. -
Actually, I took a second to calculate it, turns out this varies per poster. Your 6k posts with a 2.38 PPD indicates a time span of 6.9 years (i.e. as long as Apolyton has existed), while Ming's 22k posts with a 1.73 PPD indicates a time span of over 35 years (i.e. from 1970 onwards).

As I'm sure you're aware, the PPD in the userprofile uses a different date. I presume it to be the inception date of Poly.
Using the same starting point as Dauphin, Ming should have a PPD of 8.92.Comment

Not the inception: 2-15-99 was the first date the forum gave to registered users until we updated to vBboard whereby it went to unix time 1970 for all 2-15ers.As I'm sure you're aware, the PPD in the userprofile uses a different date. I presume it to be the inception date of Poly.
Which is simply... amazing... and frightening...while Ming's 22k posts with a 1.73 PPD indicates a time span of over 35 years (i.e. from 1970 onwards). Odd...

I'm not saying that. Indeed anyone registered before the first switchover on 15/2/99 has the 1970 reg date now (and prior to the last switchover they had pre-15/2/99), but thats a different issue.Originally posted by DarkCloud

I'm saying that the PPD calculation uses 26/7/98, the date Apolyton was 'created': i.e. Total posts divided by today's date less 26/7/98.
It doesn't use 15/2/99 in that calculation.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

I'm not surprised mine has dropped below 10ppd. :/I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Ah, yes.
Discussions about post counts is what Apolyton is famous for across the boards.
Oh well, +1 is +1. And a +1 about metaspam is still +1.

The ppd count in my profile seems to be based on July-August 1998. I joined in the first week of Jan '99, so it really isn't that far off.
Seems odd that the software is using 2 different base dates.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

Ming appears to be a special case, all the other regular 1970 posters I've seen follow that rule.
