And yes, the early heavy posters have a biased low kudos count. The prime example is Dennis, who has significantly more posts than me, but fewer Kudos.
Dennis also didn't get any kudos from the idea exchange which would be another reason for the lower kudo count.
We get a similar pattern from the LabVIEW forum alone. It might be interesting to repeat the graph for only that forum.
You are also trying to correct in the wrong direction, because the top kudoed participants apparently have fewer kudos than expected, so disregarding the ideas exchange would probably make the curve more nonlinear. Who knows. 😄
(Next thing we are suddenly talking about crowd size and crime statistics :D)

One thing I asked myself: With the introduction of Kudos, the old stars where given at once by the lithium admin. Do they count for the LabVIEW group ?? I think No, but I don't know...
Doesn't matter on the long run.... just statitics 😄

He is just one Kudo short.
Anyone care to bet if he breaks to forum formatting when he clicks past 10K ?

He hit the 10k. In LabVIEW! Impressive. I didn't think he'd break any format reles since those 10k kudos represent less than 40% of his total kudos (26,234 as of the moment)

Yes Sir!
While all of the Kudos Christian has earned in teh Idea exchange have made a nice difference and improved LV with his great ideas, those Kudos said "I like that idea, add me to the list of backers" the Kudos in the LV forum are more along the line of "Thank you, I learned something!" messages. 10K is a big pile of learning that has his name on it.

The nice thing with kudos is the fact that I cannot do anything about them, their arrival is completely out of my control.
If I give kudos, it could be for many reasons. Maybe I learned something, maybe I just like the post, maybe I want to simply acknowledge to the author that I saw it, and maybe I just used a kudos to "tag" it so it shows up on the short list of recently kudoes posts, and if it shows in bold later, I see that there is new activity that might interest me.
I still get lots of kudos for ancient posts, so I could just sit back and relax and kudos will continue to flow in forever. 😄

I haven't posted enough for this to happen to me often... but those are my favorite kudos. Its nice to know that what effort I put in not only helps the person asking the question but continues to help long after.

Knowing Ben, That is merely an observation not advice. Keep posting

You got that right Jeff!
Why live if you are not going to take chances. Anyone can stop, and sit back to watch the ratio go up but it takes guts to step forward and put your ratio in jeopardy to help others.
