Reminds me of annagrams giving a 'synchronistic profile' of a word or name. Here we have the most common words used on NR giving a mental/verbal 'fingerprint' of the group. Pretty cool!

Re: Most Common Words on NR

"think" is the most common word at NR.   Well there you go!   I like it!  Very cool.

Re: Most Common Words on NR

Think...  Lyra, that's very interesting, been thinking about it today.  Wonder if any other forums have ever considered same?

If there is no time
      Then you have time for everything.
   You're never in a hurry.
That's true freedom.

Feel again first things really good, still believe read first.  Always post down now; people well think life own another great need.  Say, people mind still actually work?  Years time; people work while world say things right now look well.  Mind little feel, maybe believe, maybe because think first, say things interesting.

Re: Most Common Words on NR

The words people use definitely can serve as one indication of what's going on in their minds, regardless of the context in which those words are used.

Thanks for posting that, Montalk.  Very interesting.

Re: Most Common Words on NR

I tallied it using an SQL query (I'm learning PHP and MySQL at the moment). For those who aren't familiar with database programming, all the search words of this forum are stored in a database on the server. Type in a couple lines of code and it spits out the most common search words in the database. Thanks goes to Cameron for helping with the server/software/database side of things that make NR possible.
