Ordinary PPH on the sharty during the mid-Quote era.

Posts per hour (PPH), or useless number, is a statistic that measures the average number of posts that an imageboard (or specific board) has per hour, it can be likened as "The reddit karma for all imageboard owners.". The statistic serves no real purpose to most people, and is often used to measure the activity of an imageboard or singular board.

Religion

PPH is worshiped by imageboard owners, and is often used to constantly compare different imageboard sites. The PPH religion is also practiced by some users of the site, often forcefully converted against their will. The religion teaches that above all else, PPH should be the main goal of an imageboard site owner. Allegedly PPH is used to power vibrators which is why a chan owner, through any means, would increase the site's PPH. The religion uses psy-ops like using events, "5 gorbillion replies [insert shitty admin here] has to ban this shit no body cares about variant my discord rival made", and many more. It is also said that they brag about their BBC per hour whenever there's a grooming session on discord.

Effects

The effects of PPH and its worship are catastrophic, causing a massive dip in post quality in favor of quantity and useless division into factions constantly at war, producing more potent brimstone in a sitewide arms race that will eventually kill the imageboard. PPH obsession also causes obession over characters from popular media, posting of pornographic material, and endless bait wars.

As (You) have learned from the Salt era, if the PPH is too high, spam and bait tend to dominate the log since they are reppy farms, while threads for high-effort posts will inevitably be buried. To reduce this issue of high PPH, always remember to sage.

Hours

Main article: Daylight cycle

Mutt hours and Euro hours are specific hours of the Sharty when Americans/Europeans are awake. They often have different PPH’s. Since there are more Americans than Europeans on the Sharty, Mutt hours are often more active.

PPH in different eras

In the Soot era, PPH stayed around the double digits. Kuz inherited a quickly rising 150, which kept rocketing up for his entire administration. Froot saw a decline, but the Great Cuckset meant it was very high in the last month of his administration. It’s hard to distinguish the effect of Quote fumbling from the diminishing high of the Cuckset, but in any case PPH came crashing down. Near the end /soy/ was sometimes in the low 200s.

Recently, Salt has managed to successfully inflate the site's pph with snca, autismslop and gore spam to pretend as if it's somehow not a total DNB just like it was near the end of Quote era evendoe once you filter all the spam you can easily see just how dead the site really is. He recently let the mask slip by allowing the pph to drop to Quote era numbers of ~300 on /soy/ during semi-active mutt hours. Geg!
