In order for you to be 8% of the total posts you must have 11,899.6 posts........right now. It's impossible for you to have anymore than 1.08% of the posts on this site because everytime you post you'll not only be adding to your post count, but the total post count. So your percentage will only be getting smaller as the total posts gets bigger

That's not exactly right. Let's say no one else posts anything and Vamp has the next 500 posts in a row.

Vamp's ratio would increase ever so slightly to 1.417756...

Now if other people are adding to the total posts faster than Vamp can keep up, then you're right... Vamp will slowly go down in that scenario.
