There are 634 members at ChefElf.Com.
These members have generated 70020 posts.
The average number of posts per member is therefore 110.
If you assume the average person is 175 cm tall (bit of an assumption but fairly accurate) that gives you an idea of a figurative 'size' for everyone here at ChefElf.Com.
There are probably lots of members who are invisible, because they have made no posts. But everyone who has made a post has a 'size' based on this. Every 0.628 posts made gives 1 centimetre of height. These figures will change as time passes but are accurate for now.

By this count, the much-loved Emu, for all she may seem like a quiet one and conservative with her posting, at around 400 posts is actually more than six metres tall! People who might be considered to be mid-ranking, the just sub and super custom rank mob, like me at about 850 up to Jariten at about 1100 are phenomenally huge... 13 1/2 metres for me and 17 1/2 metres for Jariten.
Top Tens are getting really, really big.

But the ultimate question is... just how big is Barend.

At about 4850 posts, by the current figures, Barend is so far above the average posting that if posting was size he would be almost 80 metres tall.

Though not yet a match for Godzilla, Barend is twice as tall as King Kong. The next largest active poster, the Green Knight Simon, is 25 metres shorter than bloody big Barend. A disturbing thought for this argument would be if Rory were still... well, you know.

There you go, Barend. You might not be 21337 yet, but you are eighty metres tall.

There won't be another one for a while...
That's all you have to say after someone actually quantified your enormous size? Still, I hope you, like me, had the funny mental image of a giant Bender squashing King Kong.

It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it sad.gif.

Still, awsome analysis.

Thanks, and just for the record, Kirbs.
You are almost exactly ten metres tall.
Watch out for your beast number.

So... I'm roughly 16 1/2 metres tall, at the moment. Which is about 54 feet, 5 inches.

Floppydisk, you're 25 1/4 metres tall, which is 82' 10''.

Weeee! I can stomp on cars. But I'm not big enough that bullets are only an annoyance, sadly. But we're both big enough to stomp GL into the dust.

So how big am I, also in feet, please? My math brain died some time last semester...

Plus I'm short, so the idea of being over a hundred feet tall is very fun.
Check out my crappy drawings!

The only annoying thing is that the figures change rapidly - with two extra members and lots of extra posts since I worked that one up the numbers are all screwy. Curse the changeable nature of chefelf.
But Helena's measures are pretty much right on.
We are a huge bunch, aren't we?

Well... we'll only get bigger with all these Rotsers tearing in. Lowering the average size... but they are making more posts so it probably balances.

Hahahaha! I am around 150 feet tall and growing with each post. I may not rival Barend yet, but now that I've conquered CHyld I need only set my aim on Chefelf Sime and Movie Goer and then... BWAHAHAHAHA
