I'll also give confirmation that these are correctly listed above as well. Credit to whomever figured it out of course!
- Penryn => 24,000 posts

I'm curious to see data on the number of members holding the various ranks -- say from 6502 to Westmere.
What's the shape of that curve?

Thanks for the edits!
Thank you! Thought I had checked the wiki box, apparently had a derp halfway through.
I'll find it with time, I've been stalking Doctor Q's threads for a while in the past day to set this up
Yay! I did some educated guesses based on stalking members on Doctor Q's top users list. I thought I spotted an underlying trend of +1000, +2000, +3000 per step, but Pentium and P6 threw me off the trail. So unless you guys have other sneaky steps in there, I suppose Sandy Bridge will be 45,000!
I think it would look logarithmic, actually... It wasn't graphed by Doctor Q, but in his ranking of the top users from Jan 2013 one gets a bit of perspective:
GGJstudios (macrumors Nehalem)
jessica. (macrumors Nehalem)
Eidorian (macrumors Penryn)
rdowns (macrumors Penryn)
Abstract (macrumors Penryn)
bartelby (macrumors Core)
Dagless (macrumors Core)
miles01110 (macrumors Core)
PlaceofDis (macrumors Core)
iBlue (macrumors Core)
~Shard~ (macrumors P6)
alphaod (macrumors P6)
simsaladimbamba (macrumors P6)
DoFoT9 (macrumors P6)
MacNut (macrumors P6)
wdlove (macrumors P6)
dukebound85 (macrumors P6)
iJohnHenry (macrumors P6)
-aggie- (macrumors P6)
Peace (macrumors G5)
Sun Baked (macrumors G5)
KnightWRX (macrumors G5)
twoodcc (macrumors G5)
IJ Reilly (macrumors G5)
The distribution at the time was 2,3,5,9 for just the top four tiers, and I would imagine it becomes linear in the mid-levels of use, and then probably a lot of people stuck as newbies, members, and regulars.
If only I were an admin, I've been quite curious as well! Perhaps I can convince Doctor Q to consider it for his Jan 2015 statistics if I approach him nicely! Or, if he can't be bothered, perhaps he might share some of his data and let me to the crunching. I'll reach out to him later today

Good work. You're close on some of the numbers, but not fully accurate. And I won't say which ones either.
Tease
There is an old (few years old) table floating around with the distribution of users at various title ranks. Something like 98% of users are newbies. I'd dig it up, but not only is it a few years old, it was under the old rank naming system.
I would love to see an update though.......
sorry nope, if you can't enjoy the inside joke of the user ranks then you don't deserve to be in a mac forum
TS, Thanks for reminding me that I only have 96 more to go before I become 603
Question for the mods, have you guys/gals considered adding the iOS ARM processors into the mix?
Being a 603 isn't all that!
I think the user titles work well. Join dates can be meaningless, as people often join and post very little.

See these posts from earlier this year: all users, breakdown of newbies
Ahah! Thanks, I didn't realize it had been updated since this table, which I was able to easily re-find from your link.
Satisfied my curiousity. Thanks. And thanks for not asking why I didn't search the forums for it.
Interesting.
Actually, I've been a Contributor for so long that I seem to have travelled through a number of the standard 'ranks' without even having been aware of them.
That's why I've always elected to not have a contributor title. I find the regular forum titles to be more interesting.
Actually, in some ways I agree with you both; at this stage, I've lost count of the ranks I've zoomed through, and am not entirely sure where I am at present.
No longer, I believe.
This is where I think I may be found lurking, but I cannot swear to it.
Yes, I may have to consider surrendering my Contributor badge.
You're at the Westmere level, which started at 37,000 posts.
