The 2nd part of the survey - The real part

I was checking how many users were online from 16:57 - 23:01 CET while my journal was on the front page (at least on 1280x1024 resolution, don't know if it matters on this site)

Log:

Average users online: ~285,971

Also checked users that were browsing crossfire offline. Average -80 less than online. So I assume that every user who was online, checked my journal.

Based on:

- I'm known for the community (That's not egoistic, its true. People read mostly journals that are written by somebody they know)

In 364 minutes everyone checks the journal section at least once, I'm quite sure. New users - I can safely multiply total users by 2 so after all 285,971 + (285,971-80) * 2 = 696,942 at least checked my journal.

I asked people that I would really much appreciate if they help me with my survey. That was clear after the first line.
I was polite, friendly. Still only 12 guys helped me with my survey (12/696,942 = 0,01722 = 1,7% | of total who read the journal).
It didn't take more than 5 mins to read through that text and help me to get a bigger sample of users.

It's shocking how unhelpful crossfire users are :/ After all I think Romania unforgiven was right, this community is rotten.
Germany SsAP, you can be proud of yourself.

So why didn't you help me? Did you read the comments and thought: case closed? Explain yourself please.

2 actually, or a press down, either way it's more time-consuming to use his technique. plus shift is less accessable than space is and, in case you were using all fingeres to type, you'd have to "sacrifice" your little finger instead of pressing space with your thumb, which you solely use for this purpose only when typing.

though, to be fair, it saves diskspace and bandwidth. so i'd rate it 2/10

please guys answer if its hard to read the 2nd version :/

i calculated the first line 100 presses /normal
2nd version: 85 presses

SsAP 22 Apr 2012, 16:05
2nd method is already better. but maybe you could also leave special characters out and use capital letters at the begging instead. apart from that it's ok indeed. though only when using common words. if you were to use more complex vocabulary people would have lots of difficulty with reading the texts. but for everydays use it'd be practical and an improvement...somewhat :P

e: if it's not clear enough, yes find it still fairly easy to read. though that could be because i had already read the first text and knew what the 2nd contained. use another example.

nice ideas and with those you can save even more presses. but i think i find it harder to read so i think its better with ~13-15% save-method/100characters

I think it's easier to read when you just capitalize the beginning letter of each word, I do have to concentrate a little more than I normally would, without capitalizing it's kind of a strain
▼
Hukk 22 Apr 2012, 18:18
1st was much faster to read without the spaces than with em.

2nd was much harder as it takes time to see where one word ends and second starts.

QuoteI think it's easier to read when you just capitalize the beginning letter of each word


I have to agree with that. But it takes definitely more time and concentration for me to read it compared to text with spaces, still no problem to read it at all. Probably just a matter of practice.
