But ok... I definitely think this type of comp would be a pain to count up.

A way I would recommend counting it is putting each person's name in an excel spreadsheet. And then you could scroll through the thread and for each time someone makes a new "bubble bubble" post you put the time in a new cell to the right of their name. Not sure if that's how you're doing it (or if that even makes sense) but I think that would make this easier to keep track of lol.
