The 10:1 ratio

Kevy Baby · 12-03-2005, 05:58 PM

There is a small trend I have noticed. And it seems to hold true on most boards (and admittedly, the only boards that I have regular experience with are for the most part Disney related: MP, MA, the old Fab, and here).

Most threads tend to have a views to posts ratio of about 10:1. Some examples of the moment (the first four threads listed in the Lounge at the time of this post):

Riding crop costumes go bye bye: 209 posts, 2,002 views
Disney admits liability in wrongful death lawsuit: 8 posts, 75 views
Planning for Disneyland in January: 37 posts, 385 views
Hidden Elvis' @ Disneyland: 13 posts, 145 views

It is obviously far from an absolute truism (a simple look would easily disprove my theory). However, there is a curious propensity in that direction.

Completely useless bit of information, just an observation that I have often been amused by.
