The science of dreamwidth

It's my theory that on average the number of subscribers a person has is roughly double the number who give them access. Also, I wanted to try out doing a poll (afaict so far you have to do it via the site map, which is just dumb)

Note you have to round down.
So to calculate your answer, go to your userinfo.
Divide "Subscribers" by "Has access to".
Round to the nearest integer, round 0.5 to 0, 1.5 to 1 and so on.

I know that's not quite what the poll title says, I am dumb :)

Poll #152 Ratio of subscribers to access (round to lowest integer)
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 11


Number who subscribe to you divided by number who give you access

I'd be curious to see what the results will be like after Open Beta, but I won't have a "paid" account then :) And yes, this is all very unscientific.
