3714 Edgar Van Buren - That's actually me as well so that puts me in 1st place.

Ok I'm lying.

It says on my post count thingy that I must get life? - what is life and where do I get them? - can I order them online?

If we re-engineer the competition (which, let's face it, it is) so that it measures quantifiable output for the community against post count, I bet I'd be in the top 20 defo.

Well, I bet you spent more time than 20seconds making a forum post on average, even if it was only double that time, 40seconds, you'd of spent almost 4 days.

Bizarre---- all of the other mods are at the top, and I'm near the bottom. Hopefully there's nothing to that

@Rich - Can you tell us Raven's (Expired)'s post count? I thought it was over 10,000--- might be interesting

I guess that means I managed to obtain my goal of releasing myself from the forums I visit I remember when we all could see our post count a few years ago and things got a bit silly. You know, one word answers and the like. Think I got to the top 5 in the old 4Rum (when Indi was like king of posts) and was having a bit of a race with a couple of other people. At about 3.5-4k I realised I hadn't done anything else in a while Heh. Plus I haven't actually done any DB programming in ages and ages (unless those plug-ins I wrote for the DBP IDE actually count - but they wern't written in DB)

Rich, how about adding up how many words people have written? That would then pull down the average from people who play that stupid word association thread all the time

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

I hope everyone will note I'm only in 49th place. A lot of people have said over the years that I appear to be omnipresent. However, as the above statistic demonstrates, I'm a case of quality overriding quantity!

At least, thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

I try to get a couple sentences in for meaningless posts not easy considering that I'm really quite bad at typing so I'm too lazy to try and type it right..


If I counted the messages I've sent through IM then it will be an unreal number

I believe you are misinformed about this, this is the hall of shame! We don't want high post counts!

This is actually quite interesting, currently mine is around 63, however, to show how much of a noob I was, I created around 40 of my 98 threads in the first 3 months asking questions in the Newcomers and 3D Chat forums! I then had a spell of complete spamming with the majority (around 30) of my threads being located in the Gen Talk forum, and finally, most of the threads I've posted in the last couple of months have only been in the Mod Forum. It's quite odd how my thread posting (and I guess general posting) habits have changed, I wonder if anyone else notices similar trends.

Oh, ya...got confused there sorry..was looking at somebody elses join date (probably neofish's)

So i get first there!

[edit] what would be interesting would be to see how many posts you've had in each board...

[edit2] while there's an off topic board lying around might as well say that i can't manage to get a decent shot of my cat for my avatar

I got loads with my digital camera but they were all black when i loaded them up to the computer...so i tried to use mom and dad's...but it was otu of batteries :/
