The Plurk Karma Algo
Darren Rowse recently put together a post about the average stats of all top Plurkers. The following are the averages he posted.
* # of Plurks - 838
* # of Plur Responses - 3477
* # of Friend Invites - 10.2
* # of Profile Views - 689
* # of Friends - 82
* # of Fans - 56
* Length of time on Plurk - 3 months
* Also worth noting - all of the top 10 had logged in and been active within the last 24 hours. They are all active in the short term as the long term

Here is where it gets interesting… thanks to Plurk Karma Trends, I’ve discovered that your Karma will drop by simply not logging in for a day or two. You can see my Plurk User Karma Trend Graph here.
As the graph shows, my Karma started to drop Sunday morning when I began traveling to Wisconsin. Then, yesterday I went the entire day without access to wifi or internet. It wasn’t until today that I got a chance to log back in and start Plurking again.
Sure enough… my Karma is back on the rise.
So while we do not know the ALGO for Plurk Karma, we do know that it is heavily based on constant activity.

Were you affected by the floods in Wisconsin?
Richard Disney’s last blog post..Global Warming Also Happening on Mars
We were here Sunday night when it was dumping down rain. I don’t think I’ve ever been through rain that heavy. It was insane.
I was able to avoid the flooding for the most part. There is some street flooding around here, but nothing as bad as some nearby communities.
Thanks for the post! Everyone is obsessing on Plurk tonight about Karma.
My Plurk Karma dropped over the weekend as well, when I took my eyes of the Internet for a few days. If anything, the site engenders constant participation. ; ) No rest for Plurker on the rise!
[...] Ryan Lim has again updated the Plurk Karma Trends Graphs. The graph proves our earlier assertion that Plurk is punishing loyal users by dropping Karma when a Plurker takes a day away from the site. If you look at my trend graph, you’ll see that [...]
