  September 03, 2008 at 17:09 skraggy says doubtful... out of 3million+ accounts, I would imagine there's more than just 4k active. Not sure though how Plurkmania is tallying that #

  September 03, 2008 at 17:14 skraggy says although from my calculation that could actually be accurate. There's a little less than 20 million plurks in the last 12 days
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:14 skraggy says with 4,000 active, that's 20 plurks a day average per person.

• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:16 skraggy says 3 mill is based on the users listed as new. But I'm not certain that those numbers increase by only 1 every time a user is created.
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:18 skraggy says however, plurks do, so that is pretty accurate.

  September 03, 2008 at 17:18 LChamp says is a response counted as a "plurk"?
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:18 paulthe says I've got accounts in which I would be defined as 'inactive'.

  September 03, 2008 at 17:17 skraggy says 2008-08-21:08 - 4,723,706 plurks, right now - 5,699,257 plurks.

  September 03, 2008 at 17:17 bloggeries says LChamp great point I think it is, it has to be.
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:17 skraggy says those the main plurks only. Does not count responses.
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:24 LChamp says I post an original plurk less than 10 times a day...respond maybe 10 to one
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:30 DSN is with LChamp: originate a plurk < 10xrespond to.
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:31 DSN would be interested to see the number of accounts with 0 karma - true sign of inactivity.
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:31 DSN should have said k=0 & dk/dt=0
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:33 LChamp says my wife is extrememy inactive and my california daughter is active only occasionally...then very active...
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 17:57 bloggeries says On many forums inactivity is defined as not logging in to the system for over 60 days.

• 
  September 03, 2008 at 21:03 PlurkingPoppa tells DevSpamNull you can easily lose more k than you gain while plurking occasionally.
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 21:19 DSN true, fowgre, but if you were truly inactive then your k would be 0 and dk/dt would also be 0. if you did 1 plurk a week dt/dk <>0

  September 03, 2008 at 21:39 treypennington says does the average person really do 20 plurks a day? I'm doing good to do a few a day and rarely write something someone plurks back about.
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 21:49 skraggy says treypennington: probably not, that's just if there are only 4,000 active users. some to many more, most do many less.
• 
  September 03, 2008 at 21:59 DSN is similar to treypennington in his plurk habits. tries to do 4 k-holder plurks a day. last night's tw2009 plurk fest was unusual for me.
