The old 20/80 rule ...

[rkim291968]

We have a saying at our work that 20% of employees end up doing 80% of work.   It's not that bad in reality but you get the picture.

But in this forum, it seems 20/80 rule applies.   20% of the members are posting 80% of all posts.   Agree or disagree with the observation?   Any other 20/80 rule you have seen that you want to share?

Some software/games I have used, it seems that if 80% of it works ... then they package and ship! I would also agree with the posting assessment, probably less than 20% if it like a forum I moderate ...

We have a saying at my work (for supervisors/managers) that "5% of your people cause 95% of your work".  I'd say the 5/95 is even closer when it comes to the forum, and it's also true for most online forums - not just TST.  A lot of people register just because they have one particular question, or want to offer a comment in one particular thread, and you never hear from them again.  I don't know the exact membership numbers for TST, but I'd almost be willing to bet that the number of regularly active/posting members is much closer to 5% than 20%.  I moderate on a couple other forums and the numbers are similar there as well.

As far as any other 20/80 rules, I'd say that on some days 20% of the holes amount to 80% of my score!

There are a little over 39k members on the site with over 1M posts.. There 10 members with over 10% of the posts and probably a 100 with over 20% of the posts (Erik with the most posts at over 41k) So, yeah I would say that the number is less than 5%.. It might not even make .5%.

Silly me. I never noticed that was there because the "New Posts" section is where I have the site bookmarked.

80% of your results come from 20% of your effort. This is from some work efficiency/time management seminars. Apparently the other 80% of your effort is wasted on inefficient work practices and TST.
