If his post total exceeds 63,000, - I haven't checked - he may be on a different 'rank' (other than his mod one), which would leave me uniquely placed at the Ivy Bridge designation.

I have just checked; from what I can see, @maflynn has over 67,000 posts.
If my reading of the so-called secret "ranks" (and how they are defined, denominated, and designated, and when they are subject to change - i.e. based on the nine times table) is correct, then, as he would have changed up a further rank grade at 63,000 posts.
Thta would leave me in solitary splendour with the designation of Ivy Bridge.

From the July stats here I believe so.

Yes, that is what I have thought, but, it would be nice to have it confirmed.
It won't be long before your number one ranking.
Oh, yes, it will.
This is because the inimitable @maflynn is at least a good 13,000 posts ahead of me.
In a few days the January 1st post count will be posted.@C DM is the closest to you at 51,215.
Yes, he very kindly waved at me as I passed him a while back.
You can do that in a 12 - 13 months.
At an average posting rate of 1,000 posts a month?
I think not.
And, not now, at any rate.
At my most intense - or busy - period of posting, - around two years ago, to a year ago - I was posting an average of around 29-30 posts a day, or between 25-29 posts a day, anyway, I was informed that it exceeded one per hour.
Notwithstanding all of that, this is still well short of approximately 1,000 posts a month.
It's tough to maintain a high posting rate over a long period of time, unless nothing else much is happening in your life. I think my peak rate was around 39 per day, but quickly tapered off after that. Life happens!
"Nothing else much" was happening (or not happening) during the years I was the primary carer for my mother - or had the primary responsibility for her care - when she had been diagnosed with dementia, so, yes, during that time, whenever I was home, I was more or less tied to the house, hence a lot of time for posting.
Mind you, with current Covid conditions and constraints, I am also more or less confined to the house, yet, my posting has dropped (declined, decreased) considerably over the past year.
Indeed it can be. With lockdown I expect many peoples post count will have gone up this year.
I'm sure that's the case with a great number of people. I find I'm just as busy as before the pandemic, so I don't get as much time here as I used to.
I've posted a lot more since the pandemic, granted I only registered under this name 2 and a half years ago but more than half of my posts are during the pandemic period. For me it really depends on how many threads come up that I feel like posting in, some weeks that's a lot of threads other weeks I don't post at all.
I'm still pretty busy with work but due to the pandemic there's a lot of downtime where I can go an hour or more without customers so I get on here during the downtime.
I’ve certainly been busier at work. As I don’t really go out much the other stuff hasn’t affected me.
Not everyone's.
Oddly enough, even though I have been confined to these shores (on account of the pandemic), - and my work, which involves a lot of travel, has been more or less suspended - and I have been pretty much as housebound as in the days when I Was Minding Mother, or rsponsibe for my mother's life and care, I have not posted quite as much here, these past months, as I used to, when my mother was still alive.
I'm hardly posting at this point, I can count on one hand the number of forums here in MR that I'm active in, and even then I still have several fingers left over
Well it was an assumption based on some people not going out or even to work. But everyone’s mileage will vary.I'm hardly posting at this point, I can count on one hand the number of forums here in MR that I'm active in, and even then I still have several fingers left over
I've been on lockdown like many, but for reasons I do not want to get into, m participation has plummeted
Agreed.
Everyone's mileage will vary, as will everyone's individual & personal circumstances.
Based on the suppositions mentioned in the OP, which seem to have been holding up so far, it looks like after a certain point the range increases by a thousand each time, making the next one after 54 start at 64 (likely followed by 75, 87, 100, and so on).
I think that the change is triggered by the nine times table; 36, 45, 54, and so on.
Going on that basis, the next change would be scheduled at 63.
However, you could very well be right.
It would be nice if someone in a position to know such things could confirm this for us, or choose to enlighten us on the matter.
Congrats on the 54k. I remember long ago when you broke 30k, was as joyous then as it is now
