Topic: Who will reach 3000 first?? Posted: November 11 2010 at 07:09 |
Once a runaway, it seems that the race for the #1 reviewer is now become an interesting issue, as both John and Daniel have almost caught me up. (roughly 2900 to 2700 to 2800 respectively). When the 2000 reviews landmark was crossed, I had over 900 reviews spread over Gatot and Erik and Easy Living were not too far behind)
Hugues (that's moi  ) seems relatively constant posting between one and seven reviews a week, depending on his time, but he's been posting less of them because often listening to jazz albums in the last year or so. I've been posting reviews since early 04... So of the three, I'm the less prolific in terms of reviews/week, so I'll need the advantage I have
Daniel observes lengthy silence periods and then publishes a flurry of reviews like a madman... in the last twenty days since he's back, he's posted well over 60 reviews.... Daniel has been reviewing since March 05, but I believe that his rate of reviewing seriously increased in late 06
John is probably the most constant of the three reviewers, his review total never staying three days in a row the same.... John is reviewing since August 06, so he's quite a contender, as well, because he's by far the newest of the three
So the question is: while that it's clear that both challengers will overtake me in the near-future (and it's about friggin' time too , coz this #1 label has lost its charm a long time ago and is almost a burden ), but will it happen before the 3000 review mark or past it????
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The weird part is that the French-speaking Belgians are often portrayed as under-achievers (our Flemish-speaking compatriots are less polite and diplomatic), yet the top two reviewer spots are are squatted by two of them. Is prog that much an exception in life?...

let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

I think Daniel is more and more close to exhausting all his collection, and I think that might happen before reaching #3000.

There is a lot of free download albums out there...... Dw Dunphy, Misantropeel and Senmuth. Enough to drag all three of them over 3000 with a good margin.

Agreed, but I don't know if Daniel does that.

It depends... if Sean Trane goes on a rampage in the next week, he has a pretty good head start, and can easily win.  I'll vote for Ziggy, seeing the amazing number of reviews he posts on some days.

What if somebody came in from the blue and post 3000+ reviews in a short time?  I mean,it's possible someone's writing reviews and storing them on a hard-disk...until (s)he decides to copy/paste them in PA. ... I foresee both Daniel and John will overtake Hugues soon (and about at the same time!), but I'm pretty sure they won't reach the 3000 mark before Hugues.

I vote John, because I almost never see the front page without one of his reviews being on it.

BTW, it's been a long time since I've last read you on the homepage Moris (except for that Queen single thing).

Thanks for noticing. (that Queen single was just a test for Quick Rating facility) I would like to start reviewing again, but I'm without inspiration. I start, write two sentences, delete them and give up.

Must be Hugh. If I remember the trend of the last months well enough, I don't think that ZZ and MS will catch up in due time. Moreover, Conor Fynes needs more time to digest those remaining 2565 Senmuth albums and be the winning outsider  .
