New stat: Thanks efficiency

Slow morning, so I got a new stat for the board. Thanks efficiency rating. It's based on how many Thanks Given vs how many Thanks Received. Goal being to keep it about as close to a 1/1 ratio as possible. I've been very efficient, with a rating of .933, not too prudish, but definitely not a thanks whore. Not too shabby with a little over 6500 posts. But, that's nothing compared to fearless leader, @The Chosen One. He has a an efficiency rating of .965 after nearly 20,000 posts. Good work sir.

Certainly we have some Thanks prudes like @nsacpi who give out thanks at almost 1/5 of the amount of thanks he receives. And here I thought you were a champion of democratic socialism. Come on man. Do better.

But no one quite takes the cake of prudish Thanks Givers like @Enscheff. 32 total Thanks Given compared to 6122 Thanks Received. That's an efficiency rating of .00523 (rounding up). What a selfish lover you must be.


Of course on the other end of the spectrum we have some Thanks whores, like @clvclv, @Garmel, and @UNCBlue, all giving out Thanks at a rate of 2 times more than they receive them. I gotta say, it makes you look a bit desperate guys.

But there's 1 poster in particular that's been quite "busy", if you catch my drift. Some have even called him, "The Jenna Jameson of Giving Thanks" (well at least, I've called him that just now). And that man is @JohnAdcox, with an efficiency rating of an astounding 12.116. Over 10,000 Thanks given out. To be honest, I'm actually surprised that number isn't higher. That's quite an impressive feat John. I'd have you take a bow, but I wouldn't want people getting the wrong impression. ** Ba Dum Tss **

I have to post this just so I can see my rating. I am guessing I am pretty close to 1. Let’s see.


Crap. I am a stingy thanker. That or is it my content is just so much better than everyone else. I can’t really help that I twice as good as most of you.

Fun fact... I kept track of these a while ago.

I calculated it into a poster's WARP (Wins above Replacement Poster).

Also post to thanks received ratio. Our thanks numbers got messed up when it transitioned to the newer vBulletin software. I think some of us lost a few thousand thanks.

While I got your attention, is there a reason notifications no longer pop up and the tag feature no longer works? Are bugs still being worked out?

Tag feature is because old plugin only worked for older version of vBulletin (we went from 4.1.1 to 4.2.5). Notifications I'm not sure about either. But probably sitll going to upgrade to Xenforo in a few more weeks and it'll be good.
 
Many of you don't know this, but part of the monthly fee for this site is a free monthly stat boost to your thanks total.
