[Jaffa Cake]

Highest rise in rank: bartelby, up 23 slots!

Shameful – some people clearly need to get out more...

Next highest: Jaffa Cake

Ah.

Seriously though, great work as ever Doc and interesting reading. Thanks for all your efforts.

Q, a few ?'s why is the master list not showing retired members yet the top 50 has everything in tact. Should those members be reinstated in the master list.

It's just the way vBulletin works...the usergroup they're in isn't included in the Members List since they can't log in and post.

So retired actually means they can't post. It isn't just a title.

That's correct...their accounts have been deactivated. That's not to say they couldn't be brought back, but it would take some behind-the-scenes voodoo to make it happen.

Hmm... I wonder if I can pump out 7,658 posts in the next 6 months and crack that list...

Well, make that 7,657 posts now... I'm on my way!!

 

[Queso]

Nice to see I appear to be giving that Real Life thing a bit more attention, whilst not entirely disappearing off the board. Ta Q.

[skunk]

I'd just like to say that the End of Time™ is relative.

 

[Mord]

I think Blue gets help too.

 

[iDAG]

Maybe one day when I'm 40 or something I'll make this list.

It also appears to be trademarked.

Here are the tracks left by the Top 10 over the last 2.5 years and their 6-month projection.

 

[yellow]

The number of members in the Top 50 with a vowel as the first alphabetic of their username has grown from 8 to 10. They are Abstract, Applespider, edesignuk, Eidorian, emw, Eraserhead, EricNau, iBlue, iGary, and IJ Reilly.

Isn't "y" sometimes a vowel?! [pout]

How about a breakdown of "color" members?

 

[Eric Lewis]

wow? i must post more here

 

[skunk]

No, that stands for Temporal Misplacement.

Erm...

EDIT: Fixed

 

[MacNut]

Erm...

maybe not.

 

[Doctor Q]

The percentage of posts by non-Top-50 members has increased from 88.9% to 92.4%. In other words, the Top 50 contribution dropped from 11.1% to 7.6%. That's a significant change. I think the influx of new members interested in iPhones and other Apple products has given a little more oomph to the forums outside the chatter among the regulars. The top members still post a lot, but the others are posting more than ever.

Compare the new pie chart below with the chart from July 2007.

 

[MacNut]

What were the numbers pre iPhone.

 

[Eidorian]

I wish I was in that top 10 line graph. I remember doing 200-300 posts in a few days.
