OK, so I did some grab testing over the weekend; here are the results.

I spent 30 minutes each on Dolphinmania and Complete Booty, playing every glowing tank, spam tapping where applicable, and then bumping the tank owner's glow thread afterwards. I used all lag-reducing tools (Absol's tank re-sizer, and the tank analyzer/toggler combo) whenever possible.

Dolphinmania: 2062, 2422, 2510, 2697, 2801, 2893, 2915, 2969, 3101, 3109, 3248, 3332, 3365, 3494, 3510, 3633, 3641, 3819

Tanks Grabbed: 18
Total Gold Grabbed: 55,521
Median: 3105
Average Gold per tank: 3048.5
Standard Deviation: 472.2
(68.2% of tanks were grabbed for 2576.3 to 3520.7 gold)

Complete Booty: 1872, 2048, 2143, 2252, 2496, 2636, 2673, 2676, 2816, 2819, 2960, 2978, 3212, 3395, 3800, 4383, 5010

Tanks Grabbed: 17
Total Gold Grabbed: 50,169
Median: 2816
Average Gold per tank: 2951.1
Standard Deviation: 825.1
(68.2% of tanks were grabbed for 2126 to 3776.2 gold)

I'm quite sure that as I get more data points (and the Grunny Subs will eventually drop a PGB), the numbers should favour Complete Booty.

One of the annoying things for me was that I had to scroll and cycle through the pages a bit too often for Complete Booty; there could be a few more tanks per page so that more time can be spent grabbing as opposed to cycling through pages. I do realize that having 15 tanks per page is fine because I have the lag-reducing tools, but others may not -- that is where Dolphinmania shines; it takes care of the lag issues for people who are too lazy to, or don't know how to reduce lag.

Dude,
deja vu of my statistics class

good info though, thanks  

[The Infamous Manny-kun]

I have lag reducing stuff on too (Despite a new laptop) and I would have loved to have 15 tanks per page, but yeah, lag issues won't allow it.

You know, there are probably 20 more Outlaw Wolf tanks out there. We should get them. I get my best scores from them (Other than Airsharks of course)

If you find them, send them over here. I PM people when I see tanks that aren't in the thread yet. A lot of them don't respond though.  

[Societal Downfall]

Meh, yeah, I know...

I could risk sending a guild PM to get everyone to make a 15 tank thread here too. I'm just a little annoyed how little I can do because so many people think it's "too much work."

I have to find that balance between people being willing to come join the guild and post and making it the best for the user.

Lol, I'm not really trying to compete 100% with dolphinmania. Although I would like people to be able to grab just as well here, so they have more incentive to come here, I'm fine if grabs aren't quite as good as they do have the 'advantage' of being able to list tanks as text.

Meh, so thoughts? is it worth trying to get everyone to make a 15 thanks per page thread? There is a good chance some people will not post just from a guild PM, and I already had 2 people quit razz last time I sent out a guild PM.  

[Liz-Sil]

Eh, why?
We benefit from it, so it's not too much work =/.
I think you should try.  

[Rebecca Lionheart]

Who quit?  

[Societals Saviour]

I haven't bothered to look yet. I had 2 less people in the guild after sending out the guild message though....  

[The Infamous Manny-kun]

Well you can check out my thread when it's done for people you missed via Wolves.  

[Societals Saviour]

sure thing. Lol, I still have 15 people from my first +50 best tanks thread that didn't accept my invite for this guild/thread.

And I had another 12 people who had new tanks and didn't accept.  

[The Infamous Manny-kun]

Maybe they are Awol? *shrugs*  

[Societal Downfall]

Maybe they are Awol? *shrugs*

That's why I'm not chasing them down. I just assumed that if they aren't responding to my personal PM or to the guild invite, they aren't very 'dutiful' tank owners.

Wow =/.
I'd wish there were a few more pages, would make it better to play.
Then again, 15 tanks a page would reduce the page amount again, too. xD

Absol's getting crafty....

He's pretty much implemented the "Stalk your tanks easy" script into the tank analyzer so that it alerts people who visit the analyzer when he's glowing.

Really?

I'm made a script that plays a sound when certain tanks glow. Makes it easy to stalk my own tanks. Without the need to look at them all the time. (Or without the need to be at the computer xD)
I hate stalking threads, it's unhandy.
Additionally I can't use Firefox or any "tools" that require it. Not that I need it anyways =/.
