S3F's 699th Day (of Not Being Abandoned By The Internet) Celebration Extravaganza

wise ass.

nice. I got 1000 s3fcash. I'm feeling an all-in binge coming up soon.

I notice you can delete rep you've given now.

only after a certain period of time, I think.

very nice indeed

boy that ERA of mine is quite high

You're the forum's Josh Towers :laugh:

It sure looks that way

thanks DK and Leo

How does mission not have the lowest ERA on the forums?

I was wondering the same thing.

I hit a weak grounder to 2nd on his behalf to try and help alleviate this.

Good idea...mission I will refuse to swing at any of your pitches. Just keep throwing fastballs right down the middle.

He's probably just waiting for everyone to wonder the same thing...and then one day before you know it he removes the glitch surrounding his username lowering it down to 0.03.

Wow, awesome work there, mish.

the ERA has to do with posts and rep...if you have a lot of posts (Mission, myself, General, Redsrbetter, etc), then you need a lot of rep to lower your ERA. If you don't have as many posts, but a lot of rep for some reason, then your ERA is lower. Then there is the whole MLB, AAA, AA, and A ball thing...I'll take a major league ERA of 3.19.

Essentially it is. There should be more on that and how we will be doing S3F: Vegas in a couple weeks.

It's fairly simplistic right now (the formula is likely to be tweaked soon) but in it's most simple definition, your ERA is most dependent on your posts and your reputation. A high post user with low amounts of reputation will have a high ERA for instance, so broadly think about posts that go unanswered without reputation as a run being given up (that's not how it's calculated, but it's a good way to think about it in general.)

Many, many posts in relatively useless forums (posting trades in trade council forums, contract extensions for my league, behind the scenes posts; or forums in which reputation being given is very low.) We now have it set for any hidden forum or low post quality forum to not have it count towards your ERA calculation anymore.

Sweetness Mission.

My ERA is insanely low...
