Post number 500

Not sure if anyone is going to be able to legitimately catch up to CG and his 50,700+ posts. It's going to take many years for that.

True, and that's why I said legitimate (not saying that CG cut corners or anything like that). Just be a very active member and if you have the chance, reply to people when they reply to your post. You are only about 1,500 posts away from being a fixture. That goal is in reasonable reach for you.

Yeah, I've been slacking off for the past few years. :^)

yeah, and posts in the soapbox should not count.

That has you in at #6 of all time post counts. When looking at my post count, I have to take into consideration that I didn't post my very first post until about a year/year and a half since creating my account.

This is my post #12,741 which would be Hankins, NY. I have a very, very long ways to go for my zip code (about 79,000 or so) :rolleyes:

:laugh: I remember at one time I was trying to keep up the rate the Nish was at. After a few days I gave up because that was not possible for me...

A large portion of his posts were a simple smiley, very easy to up the post count that way.

I was trying to keep up with the volume (not count) and still trying to keep down the nonsense posts. This was back when he was posting weekly excel charts on the top posters. I really wanted to make the list in a legitimate way but at the same time function at work. Impossible for me..

Not if the post count is calculated by actually counting the user's posts... ;)

Only, if I posted ten times as much I would be second to Christian Graus...

Damn, I always knew that Graus was a no-good slacker ;)

Yup, down from #4 a few years ago. Nish was #1 for a long time, until the widespread rumor that he was really a posting bot released by a hacker got back to him. Then someone lit a fire under Christian and the top spot has been getting farther and farther away ever since.

True, OTOH I've managed to keep ahead of all but 3 people who registered after I did: Guffa, led mike, and Mark Salsbery. Since I'm only a few hundred posts behind them, I could probably catch up in a week or two of concerted effort if I tried. :)

counting your own posts or even being aware of how many they are is pretty high on the lameness scale. :)

What about writing an application to poll the CP database so you can compile comparative ranks based on post count.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.
