Time Wastage in Review
As I did last year, I spent some time today searching through the dusty recesses of web-goddess to compile the list of top commenters. As always, I was far and away the leader… but the rest of the list might surprise you. Read on to see where you ended up!Again, these are totally unscientific and relied upon you using the same name every time you posted. (Or at least something that I could identify as you.) If you provided a URL I’ve linked it to your name. Here’s the list of everyone who’s made more than ten comments here in the past year:
Â

There were a lot of folks on the cusp so it’s possible a few more folks will make the list by New Year’s. Of course, what you’re really interested in is the All-Time Web-Goddess Commenter Leaderboard. Here’s the top 10 (myself excluded):
Â
Name | Comments |
Brigita | 802 |
Moire | 554 |
Tricia | 347 |
Kristen | 331 |
Max | 212 |
Martin | 194 |
Jenny | 192 |
Amy (my sister) | 188 |
Jann | 154 |
Claire | 148 |

To be honest, I was surprised that there were any men in there at all! Then I discovered if you include the next ten on the list, the percentage goes 50/50 (Ferret, John, Robert, Dan, my Dad, Psorr, and Bill). That’s a lot more balanced than I expected. I often wonder if the site comes off as too girly. I guess not! 🙂

i’m happy to see that i’ve been restraining myself a bit this year and letting other folks get a word or three in edgewise. 😉

Woo-hoo! Top 5 in the All-Time Commenters! I’m closing in on you, Kristen–2004 will be MY year…mwahahahahaha! 🙂
Kris, I don’t think your site is too girly at all–if anything, I think it’s a model of how to build a “community” of interactive readers who feel comfortable posting comments and responding to one another. Kudos to you!

I knew I’d been slacking this year comment-wise, but I didn’t realise how much until I saw these figures.
Note to self: must do better in 2004.

You’re gettin’ close, Eileen! 🙂
Thanks for the props, Max. Sometimes I just get worried that posts about crafts and feminist rants will paint me into a girls-only corner.

Wow. 48, huh. So this is 49???
I haven’t even posted that many times on my current site. That’s so sad.
