I've noticed that when it comes to TTM successes with a combination of sports and celebs, most people post around an 85% success rate. I get my stats from another site (assuming they are being truthful, of course). Mine for last year stands at 90% for sports, as opposed to 50% for celebs, for a total of (yep, you guessed it) 85.71% for the year.
So to get 44 replies in one month, that means sending a lot of requests out.
A lot. I send around 18 to 20 per month, so I wouldn't expect that many returns in the same period of time.
Like you, Ryan, I have slacked off TTM requests a bit also. I live around a four or five hour drive from Pittsburgh and have been planning on attending the fanfest coming up this weekend so I've been saving up for that. With my income that means squirreling away every penny I can. I should be "back to normal" next month and start sending more requests out soon.
