[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I would love to know more about the demographics of who posts in the political forum. I'd especially like to know how many threads are started by the same people.[/quote]

Here are some very rough numbers for the Political Forum over the past 4 months. I did this analysis going by IP addresses which has several flaws because many -- if not most -- users use several addresses and many businesses and institutions share one address across many users. Some of our top addresses are from local US government institutions which have thousands of users. So, those ones don't really count. However, most of the top addresses appear to be home addresses. Also, these numbers don't include any posts or threads that were deleted.

Over the past 4 months, the Political Forum had posts from 26,354 distinct IP addresses. Threads were started by 3,760 distinct IP addresses.

Forty-two addresses posted more than 1,000 posts. I posted the most posts with 6,685 and was closely followed by another metro-DC user with 6,541. Most of the addresses with more than 1,000 posts were from the metro-DC area, but also included addresses from Washington State, California, New York, Florida, and Kentucky (note, I'm leaving out the state of the user I picked on earlier).

Over the past 4 months, five users started more than 100 threads. The top address for starting threads was from New York with 175 new threads. I was second with 167. Two of the others were from outside the area and the last was a local US government institution and probably represents multiple users.

What I think can be deduced is that out-of-the-area users start more threads than local posters. Looking at the top five thread-starters, out-of-the-area posters started 395 whereas dc-metro users started 293. But, once threads are started, local users post more.
