Something I've been thinking about lately. Out of the total # of semi-regular posters, how many of those do you think are actually alts of another poster? In terms of a %.
I'd say less than 10%.
1 of 100, at best.

4-5% of active posters. A minimum of 30-40% of total volume.
The new alting trend here is to mass post under a single alt and then kill it after a month or two instead of having 9 or ten dedicated alts at once.
Personally I think alts are an overblown phenomenon. 99% of the alts made get caught immediately. I don't think you people realize how hard it is to bypass a forum's proxy server.

how do you arrive at those numbers?
From my experience with previous forums, it's incredibly easy.
If I were to create an alt I thought of being to optimistic jazz fan, like this dude!!
Agreed.
I like how you quantified this in terms of total volume of posts. That's the most important measure.
