Post how quickly can you catch the Fowl
so a fun little game in which the fellow users can see how quickly they can catch our resident Levelling Post Hoarder "Lord Foul"
1. take Foul's present post count (F)
B. subtract your present post count from (F) to get (D)
3. divide (D) by your average posts per day
D. this will give you the days it would take you to catch him if he stopped posting that day (as a side quest maybe you can describe what has been done to him to keep him from posting for that many days)

so for instance (as of the time this was written) for me to catch the Foul Lord
at my current pace would take 3422.3 days or (extra math crunch) 9.38 Years

what could keep Foul too busy to post for Nine years, admission to the first manned mission to mars and Back. :D

25120 - 5634
= 19486 Post Difference

19486 / 4.93
= 3952.5 Days

3952.535496957404 / 365.24
= 10.8 Years

Now, assuming Lord Foul voluntarily stopped posting for 24 hours, I would need to post 13.5 times a minute to catch up. That's about a post every 4.5 seconds. Time to do some script writing...

There's a five second cooldown.
