maybe you should ignore her anyway
because
she is making you look bad
Maybe this thread, over the years, has made you look like a sore loser taking an easy pound of flesh.

Maybe they'll bring back New Coke, but if they do what would they call it?

Life. Anyone "win" anything yet or are you still milking the ride?

I'm afraid that the TOL audience seems to thrive on these kinds of threads. Chrys is very good at getting the pulse of his environment.

I tried to start an "Anyone want a compliment" thread and it died aborning!
Maybe Iago is the winner after all....

should I announce the winner today?
or
can I stretch it another day?
Just general advice following inquiry. No need to pull out the milk.

Stretch to your heart's content. Let's see. So far its 66 posts and 644 views (counting this) from five a.m. yesterday to ten a.m. today, give or take. I wonder what will happen if you take it another day. By all means. It's your game.

should I be more worried about the views?

I may be getting too many replies

Surprisingly the audience for this one has shrunk appreciably over the course of its run. I think I put something about it in numbers, or Quixote's...maybe in the thread itself. Anyway, here's a two year peek at the trend.

In 2013 it was 2,121 posts to 61,480 views. 459 of those posts were his.
In 2014 it was 1,018 posts to 22,325 views. 325 of those posts were his.

The negatives do tend to out draw asking people to be affirmatively positive. Too bad though.

Maybe Iago is the winner after all....
Depends on the definition of winner though, doesn't it.

we all agree 2013 was a very good year
but
let's take a closer look at the weaker 2014 version

the view to reply ratio is over 20
who wouldn't be happy with that?

the other replies to my replies is over 2
you have to admit
that is a good number
so
the only reason 2014 looks bad
is
2013 was so good
and
there might be other factors
we should take a look to see what was going on

It's fallen every year. It had fallen appreciably from the year before.


but

McDonalds. Anyone looking to maintain a franchise. When you lose more than half your customers in a year it's time to tinker with the menu.

the only reason 2014 looks bad
is
2013 was so good
No, there was a sharp drop each year. It's only that the worst of those happened last year.

But this year is slow. I have a good feeling about your chances.


Ah, found it in the 2014 thread:
Thin though. And if you're okay with answering I'll go this far to note:

Chrys Awards

2011: 1080 posts, 31,834 views, 29.5 per post view average.

2012: 1216 posts, 33,936 views, 27.9 per post view average.

2013: 2120 posts, 47,130 views, 22.2 per post view average

2014: 1,018 posts, 22,325 views, 21.9 per post average. So it wasn't as horrible relatively, while falling in general.

that is not true

2013 was better than 1012
Your memory is mistaken (unless you literally mean 1012, in which case that's some trick). Look at my edit on my last post. I lifted it from your 2014 thread where I cited the totals for every year.

you can't say that now
you will have to wait until they delete 2012
like they did to 2011
I can. I'd preserved the numbers before the pruning. Again, see the edit.

:e4e:

The post in your 2014 thread is unedited and linked referencing the fall by year. The 2014 got credit for where it stood a moment ago. Your effort has gone up but the interest has declined. Last year was horrible for general interest but slipped the least in terms of views per post.
