on 11/4/10 at 1:54pm
I've read that there are about 40,000 members on WSO. Any ideas about the distribution over the various membership states (i.e. Monkey, Senior Baboon, Neanderthal etc.)?

Take a look at the top
Take a look at the top posters list. 33 Posters have 1000 posts or more. There are a lot of people who post or people who maybe post 50 comments and get a job followed by a new poster, but much of the content is provided by a core group of posters.

Probably something resembling
Probably something resembling exponential skewed heavily towards Chimps who made zero or one or two posts and that's it. Certainly the vast majority of the 40000 are Senior Monkeys or less. How many posters' names do you recognize as you read through? 200ish maybe?
yeah, we could break this
yeah, we could break this down, but it would be heavily skewed to the Chimp + Monkey status (like any online forum)...my guess is ~90%

Yeah, agree. Thats good
Yeah, agree. Thats good though. The site helps a lot of people and is a great info source. If 40K signed up I cannot imagine how many simply come and view it.

That's true Anthony, I
That's true Anthony, I visited the site for many weeks before I signed up. I think my estimate is as follows:
Chimp - Senior Monkey: 35,000
Baboon - Senior Orangutan: 4,500
Gorilla - Senior Gorilla: 450
King Kong and above: 50
It would be interesting to see the actual distribution if it's in the works.

There was a point in time not too long ago that I had 1,000+ more posts than Anthony. Somebody spends a lot of time on this site!
I think the true measure of the man is the silver bananas! Remember folks, quality, not quantity!
Also, if you do a quick count by clicking "more" on the right side of the screen next to "Top WSO Users", you get the following:
Senior Neanderthal: 2
Neanderthal: 6
King Kong: 25

Yes, far too much time. I get a lot of enjoyment from the site and actually a lot of tangible benefits.
I agree. Silver Banana's are the true measure of quality.

So here's my question on Silver Banana's. Are they generally awarded only for very witty/funny posts? Or genuinely helpful posts as well?
As lame is this may sound, I thought I deserved a Silver Banana for some posts, but had no luck.

Back in Summer of 2008 when I was using site traffic metrics to sell ads I actually remember calculating that the top 1% of posters accounted for 90% of the posts.
