1723How many registered mapleprimes members are there, I wonder. And what proportion of those post here?
If the postings totals page is anything to go by, then these next figures might be close:
>=0 posts: 3117
>1 post: 1122
>5 posts: 265
It's not quite clear, since it may be that someone can register more generally (for the maple application centre) and so get listed here.
There is also some indication that there may have been 4736 mapleprimes members to register to date.

Actual data?
Is there any way to get at the actual data -- I mean posts or Ranking by id? I think this data set would make an interesting one to study via Maple's own facilities, especially the new Statistics package. It would be interesting to do some data fitting (see what distribution the data seems to fit, what parameters, etc). Actually, releasing data snapshots every quarter might be nice, to see the time evolution too.
Data
Here is a CSV file that contains all of the posting IDs, user ID and date posted

I have no problems posting this since it would have been possible for you to scrape this data from the website anyhow. I am interested to see what sort of statistics you can get from this data.

help
I need help with my six grade math homework
please help me now thank you.
posting
Hello Lil george,
Can you go to the forums (try the Math Advice forum) and start a new forum topic with your questions?
Scott
interpretation of posting data
What is the meaning of "posting ID" and how do we correlate a user ID with a name (or vice-versa)? What posts are included? I notice that the user with the greatest number of posts has 128 (from the csv file), which is considerably less than total number of posts by you (Will) or any of the other top posters.
hover over a user's maple leaf
I deduced 4736 registered users by hovering over the maple leaf & number of some recently joined members whose handles appeared in the "Who's new" list. I believe that I was close to spot on, at the time I posted, and that discrepency with Will's figure was due to the later date of his posting.
If you hover over Will's leaf, you'll see the number 1, which may be a good hint that it is a userid. Hovering over others' leaves shows a reasonable correlation with the stated time of membership shown on profile pages.
I do not know how to easily gather all userids and handles, assuming that these guesses are close to correct. It might be possible using wget and some scripting work (which could be similar to what Will referred to by the term "scraping").
I can only imagine that the csv file posted was a snapshot of a window in time, a subset of the entire set of postings here -- possibly only those since mapleprimes left beta?!

thanks
Thanks, that does the trick. I assume that the timestamp in the file is the typical Unix timestamp (seconds from epoch) which means the data is from June 28, 2005 to May 27, 2007, which covers almost the entire life of MaplePrimes. So I don't understand why there are so few entries in the log (e.g, Will, user 1, has 111, which is way off).
Comments
The last file that I posted did not include comments, which would help to explain the discrepancy in the number of posts. This file is the statistics for comments posted to the site:

You can check to see what name corresponds to a user id by navigating to www.mapleprimes.com/user/USERID
So this, http://www.mapleprimes.com/user/1 is my page.
One thing, that I'm not sure that everyone here understand is that the Maple score, the number next to a person's username, is not the total number of posts. It is the total score, you get different points for performing different actions on the site, as you can see by clicking on anyone's score.

user 0?
What about user 0? There was a single entry for "him" in the first data you posted.
Anonymous user
I am not sure how this account was created. It may be an account that was created during testing and may still exist. Will should have a better idea who this is. Here is that post that you were referring to.

Anonymous
User 0 is the anonymous user.
If you look at the post by user 0, you see that this was from the Anonymous user.
Probably, the original author of the post asked me to delete his account, so the site changed the author of his post to the anonymous user.

limited subset
Looking at the csv file it appears to be limited to recording forum entries and if you look, none of the node are duplicated so it appears to be listing the userid of the users who created forum entries. For example if you look at this forum entry http://www.mapleprimes.com/forum/add_metadata_tags_for_rss_feed
and look hover over the register link the node appears to be #93. The creator Stephen Forest has user id #24. If you look at the csv file will provided, those two numbers are there.

Full set of data
statistics.csv contains the information for all posts to the site, including blog entries, pages and forum posts. The only thing that it does not include is comments, which I included in comments.csv
This data is from the beginning of MaplePrimes including when the URL was still wamp.mapleprimes.com
