What do the Post Stats mean?
I was checking out my profile (outside the control panel) and found this:

121 (4.03 posts per day)
Posts Stats: A: 10 | D: 79 | M: 73 | HP: 3

What do the posts stats mean? It obviously stands for attack/defense/movement/hit points, but what does that have to do with the posts?

A is a reference to the number of posts you have made. It fits into a logarithmic fornula rounded down to the nearest whole number.

HP is a reference to the percentage of the way you are to reaching the next level of A.

D and M are now percentages.
D shows how good your average posts per day is in comparison to an average of 5(changed from 3) posts per day

M shows (as before) how much you have posted in connection with how long you have been registered

i'm quoting Saggy D. Crunch and pheonixcager from this thread

I hope they get the new post count information finally included in the FAQ.

These threads are getting boring by their regularity. Why don't the mods get rid of the stats as they serve no useful purpose.

Or at least put them back under the avatar. THEN put an answer in the FAQ. Maybe they should top a thread like this to stop them...

Like that will stop this type of thread from being posted regularly!

Hehe it should definitely be in the FAQ. I don't think the stats are useless though.......they are fun, they are not meant to be anything more.

Why not use these stats exclusively for OT postcount.

When seeing the reaction to the question, I'm glad I didn't post a thread like this, as I had intended...!
