fireflyCool!
What percentage of those comments were farhads? The Vegas over/under is 65
mauz15^ I'd say 75%
farhad needs to get some sleep from time to time
that's a lot of videos published to the front page, I have a lot of catching up to do.
Wow
benjeeWhat else is Farhad meant to do with his time? Study?
And thanks for the fix of stats, Dag - has satisfied my Dave Gorman darkside for a few more days...
LadyBugi KNOW you got off on those, benjee!!!

Farhad2000Wankers. All of you.
The stats are a nice information fix.

For a bit more statistical fun, that averages out to 156.54 videos posted per day, with a front page graduation rate of about 29%.
deputydogThere's only one stat I want to know.
What percentage of Ant's votes have been downers?
choggie.....that fucker choggie blabs alot too, since august that little whip left 2730 "comments" if they can be called that, 1254 of them, in some twisted syntaxical de-programming language???!!!
LadyBugi think that number is a bit higher, chogster!
snaremopCan you clarify the "marathon chat session"?
dotdudeIt would be interesting to know age stats. I know we did an informal one of the "die-hards" not long ago.
joedirtWhat percentage of choggie's posts end with something I can understand? And what percent of Westy's words are speled corectly? And how many sifters are considered 'liberal nutjobs'?
dotdude. . . tune in tomorrow for "As the Sift Turns" . . .
James Roethe "marathon chat session" will mostly likely just be hosted on gabbly, we will put up some details a couple of days before the seventeenth though.
Farhad2000Am with Deputydog, how many downvotes did Ant make...
KrupoWell they can't as votes in your stats, and a quarter of all sifts getting published means you can't complain.
BTW, I want to see this vid!
Frog flying into a jet engine? Yay! (?)
swampgirlWhat time zone does the Sift claim? I don't want to get the time wrong a miss the fun.
LadyBugi was wondering that as well, swampgirl! when is the 'official' party starting!?!?! aussie time? uk time? east coast time??

LadyBugso what time are you starting the festivities in sydney?? because for most of us in the US ... we can start the party friday night!!! woot!
dotdude'How 'bout a countdown clock?
dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I'm planning to make a big post on midnight of the 27th Sydney Time. I'll look for a countdown clock.
LadyBugthe 27th?!?!?! i thought it was the 17th!?!?!
*googly eyes*
darksunHa, good point LadyBug.
Sydney = GMT+10
England = GMT (duh)
East Coast = GMT-5
West Coast = GMT-8
Therefore, at 0000 hours on the 17th February in Sydney, the time will be:
1400 hours on the 16th in England (GMT)
0900 hours on the 16th in America on the East Coast (EST)
0600 hours on the 16th in America on the West Coast (PST)
Sorry if i get it wrong, i'm tired right now.

Sorry, I meant the 17th. The 17th it is.
