Post number 500

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 ;)

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.

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.

: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...

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. :)

Ha! Now you're lame too. :-\

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

:-D I guess from John C's reply I am lame, but I will be happy when I hit top 100. Sitting here at 102 makes me feel it is in reach.

I remember those days. Not too long ago, actually. Currently sitting at #20 right now.

Most of this sig is for Google, not ego.Sadly, it's been done. Nish did a whole series of statistical reports like this many years ago. The regulars here thought it was fun, and looked forward to the monthly releases. Then Nish got an upgraded (2 kbps) Internet connection and had no more time for such fun and games. :-D
