Thank god my 0.49 posts per day isn't attracting Top 50 attention...

Here's to lurking...*cough*...flying under the radar!

adrake86 You're really going balls to the walls to win today :) 45 posts so far today!
 
some of them are made up. the top posters are merely bots and not real people.
Hey, don't give out the secret of Spam Jew, er, Mad Jew! ;) :p :D

That sucks.
dukebound85 was joking with his post. You can see his hidden text.

Here it is:

"so kidding. i agree it is interesting!"

So really no real winner. :mad:
That's correct! :)

there are no 'winners' just counts that mean nothing.
Exactly.

At MR, post count is not a competition. It is merely a way of tracking how many posts someone has made. Every 6 months, Dr. Q, who enjoys numbers and statistical data, posts the top 50 statistics for the rest of the MR members to see.

BTW, if you look at someone like skunk who posts a lot on the PRSI (Politics, Religion, Social Issues) forum, his post count is much lower than what he actually posts because posts in the PRSI forum do not count. But that doesn't stop him from posting in the PRSI forum.

Post count is not a competition at MR. It's just an interesting number.
 
It seems like I've seen more members who've joined in the months of January or June 2007 than any other month. Those two periods also seemed to be the busiest times I've ever seen on the forums, too.
Last time, I did a little comparison of the months when top posters joined. You can see those results here. That didn't tell us what months the average members joined, of course.

i mean its just like the lotto. no one really wins. the announced winners are named so people/society thinks someone won but no one actually knows the people..
I see that dukebound85-bot is posting again... :rolleyes:
 
Eek! I've dropped out of the top 50. :(

I blame the fact that I've been overseas for the last month or so. I'll have to lift my game once I get back. :D

oh no, the thread of shame™ again! :eek:

:eek:

A little bit, mostly in the Top 50 thread itself. Sometimes we have to clean up these threads to keep the conversation on topic.

I'm pleased to notice that one such example was taken care of. ;-)

I always wonder if the number of people who want to be on that list matches with those who are on it and don't really want to be.

How is Eidorian going to gain in places if Moderators put Eidorian on time out (2 day ban)?
 
Buy your way to fame! Operators are standing by!

I wonder what would happen if arn decided to sell post counts? What if you could pay some amount to get credit for 1000 posts, without actually making the posts?

It would wreak havoc with the forum rules and user titles and the reasons behind them, of course, but I wonder if people would actually buy them and for what price.
