What is your cuttlefish number? Should fluther publish more user statistics?

Lurve is a great way to keep people interested in the fluther community, but it leaves many unanswered questions.

We’re all impressed when someone gets 5K, 10K, or higher, but what does this score really represent? Does it mean that the person spends all day on fluther because they work at a boring office? Or does it mean that they make witty remarks and drop sagacious one-liners that others think are amusing? Or does it mean that they scour the internet for quality sources and provide detailed and accurate information?

Well, probably all of the above contribute.

One way to improve the value of the lurve score would be to associate some statistics with it. These might include:

1) How much lurve per response? (I call this the cuttlefish number).

2) How much lurve per day?

3) What is the most lurve they received in a single day or for a single question?

These things are not only very interesting for all us jellies to know, but they are also possible indicators of what kind of lurve-monster everyone is.

I am not charged with official responsibility around here, so I thought I would ask if people agree with some of these ideas. Would you like to see more lurve statistics in fluther?

I’d be curious to see some cuttlefish numbers. Definition of Cuttlefish Number: take your lurve number and divide it by the number of responses you’ve made (on your profile). What is this number and who has the highest one?

For example, my lurve is currently 2335 and I have written 443 responses, so I divide 2335/443 and get 5.27 cuttlefish.
