All five of them attacking at blue to prevent me from getting it, I got killed, and someone even managed to steal the blue...
Damn, Maokai behind in xp from the start and w/o his blue really is a sad jungler. T_T I'll have to tweak that shit.

I'm not surprise by that since LoL is such an easy to pick up game. I don't play SC2 anymore since ladder was too mind consuming and only watch streams of it. For LoL, I play and watch.

The GD threads themselves are much older than the subforum, though (ergo its expected for them to have activity above what's normal for a subforum of this age).

You'll never defeat the kpop thread either.

I only included the General Discussion Threads that have been in this Sub-Forum. Out of curiosity, I did some separate math on the older threads as well. If we included all the General Discussion Threads that came before the time when had our own Sub-Forum, we'd have a total of 67868 posts, 3296222 views and 48.568 IR.

Inertia Ratio (IR) is Views divided by Posts. So the average amount of views a thread gets before someone posts, or the average inertia in a thread. Think of it as: "How many people have to view the thread before someone has something to contribute?"

Just out of interest, I decided to do a simple analysis on the popularity of some of TL's biggest Threads. I complied 3 statistics: View, Posts and Views per Posts. Let's call the third statistic the Intertia Ratio, or IR. The IR is interesting because it shows how "bothered" people are to post in a thread, or how much they care about the thread. The lower the number, the more likely people are to be bothered to post in the thread and contribute. You can also think of it as a measure of the thread's productivity.

This was all correct as of 0715 KST 23rd September 2011. I've only included LoL General Discussion Threads since the subforum was created.



Some interesting observations:

• Despite being a reasonably young sub-forum, the General Discussion Threads combined rival many of the other established threads on TL.
  
• The people in the LoL Threads tend to be more engaged with the threads they read compared to other parts of TL, as it takes less views on average before someone contributes.
  
• Every 6 months, we probably produce more content than the entirety of most threads on TL.
  
• The people in this sub-forum really like LoL. Like, [insert your choice of expletive/surprise], we like really like LoL.
