Quite a few of us have spent a significant portion of our online "life" here learning and collaborating at O.net. What does it amount to? I am 30mb for 3 years. Is that alot? If we share basic info - for example, length of time at o.net and archive size - we might come up with a snapshot!
What's yours?

I would suspect there is - perhaps both are functions of variables like:
- Date joined
- Frequency of use
- Number of "friends"
...?

Wow Brad, I thought I wrote more than you. Mine's only 38.1 MB
But it seems that includes all the threads I was ever part of, so I'm not sure it means anything. Does it include photos too?
I think a better measure is just the folder "My Words Discussions", which for me is 3.52 MB

David, maybe it's because I'm a member of at least half the the groups here?

Yup, like Marlboro miles. I want to cash mine in for Omidyar memorabilia. Maybe we could get ONetizen teeshirts printed to commemorate our time here (not suggesting that O Net pay for them, just acknowledge our efforts).

I have yet to look at mine. I think Mark said his was 88mb. Brad, I can't imagine how you managed to be a member of 200+ groups. That is phenomenal and commendable.
I want a t-shirt if Lars designs it! To go cheap, we can create the image and have people print out the iron-on. :-)
Maybe something like "I thrived at Omidyar.net!" ;-D

7.5 MB. Ah well, brevity is the soul of lingerie.

opp's I was wrong!! I left the zipped file in the folder when I checked the properties!
REAL:
44.8 MB (46,989,907 bytes) <---- unzipped
15.8 MB (16,669,576 bytes) <---- zipped
Norbert's file is waaaaaaaay bigger than mine! :)

Yeah, and I also think they should measure the blood pressure of the users as they read your posts, and include those readings in the zip file. :) Hey, that would be better than points. Let's use something less subjective like heart rate and skin conductivity!

Is there a mb corelation to a "reputational score"? So a baseline of 30mb to 3500 reputation points ... Is the 1.6 points/mb a norm? :)
I plan to allow my archive to evaporate.
