Since they want to talk about statistics, let's do so shall we ?

As of the time of this writing, Degreediscussion has 46,519 posts.

20,263 are "off topic" related posts, thereby 44% of the total posts at Degreediscussion has NOTHING to do with education at all.

When you compare the largest forums they have, the "Off-topic" forum dominates everything with 19,600 posts.

Compare that to 11709 posts in the General Education Discussions, or 73% more posts about politics and posts about DLTruth.com then about Education !!!

And it only gets worse from there...

Compare 7298 Distance Education posts to "off-topic" or a whopping 277% more posts about Politics than Distance Education !!!

How about their supposed speciality ??? "Unaccredited Programs"

Not too much better either I'm afraid...

284% more posts about Politics than "Unaccredited Programs".

At what point does a website become an "Off-topic" Discussion board and no longer a Degree Discussion board ???

Let's get a bit more Micro and now things get really bad...


The Top 12 posters, Douglas, Janko, Jimmy, Jack, HG, Abner, Bear, etc.

Make up 23,822 posts,  Amazing !!!!

12 people make up 51.2% of all of Degreediscussion.com's posts !!!  That can't be good.


12 people out of 1087 "Members" make up...1.1% of the total membership.


In summary, 1.1% of the DegreeDiscussion.com community make up 51.2% of the total posts and I was being lazy too.  I only included posters that have more than 1000+ posts.  If I went a layer deeper like included the top 20 who had 500,600+ posts, I probably could've gotten the top 20 making up like 70/75% of the posts and they still only making up around 1 point something % of the membership.

But hey, they wanted to talk statistics, and there they are.

Cheers,

So I check users. 3 here - 4 over there. Often there are as many users here as there. Degreediscussion is a small private club that scares away anyone concerned with education issues with their vile invective.

Is that http://online.degree.net with 107 visitors? I'm suprised; they don't have the most informed membership (other than Dennis, of course). We've discussed Johann here before and he has both his strengths and weaknesses. Some people like him and others  don't. However, after him, the #2 guy is ShotoJuku and this guy is a first-class douchebag. I'd rather listen to Chip the Pornographer and Bruce the Cop at DI than subject myself to this asshole. Okay, maybe not that fag Chip but I'd still take Bruce any day over this jerkoff ShotoJuku (a/k/a Brian Fey Sr.).
