True, basically I ran out of time to keep up with the posts. Tomorrow is very exciting, not only is it MWSF, but it is my official 8th year anniversary!

That's for sure!
Eight years. That's awesome.
Only been here since July 2002 -- a paltry 6.5 years.
Well, actually, truth be known, I hung around MR for quite a while before joining. About a year I think.
Still in them, they're just so convenient.So you were barely out of nappies when you joined MR?
I'd demand pictures, but I suppose that will be illegal very soon, so best not...
Congrats to all the "Top 50 Posters" and the honorable mentions. Thanks Doc, interesting stats...
Me too. I've moved countries 3 times since then.
I always wait until this thread to form my New Years resolution.
Here it is: I'm gonna destroy Teh Bastard, Shard.
That is all.
Okay, here's one for you.
Mad Jew has 32,208 posts.
His last activity on MR was on 5 September 2008.
His average is still 18.53 per day -- without posting for the past 4 months.
I couldn't resist figuring this one out on the new slide rule that sushi graciously sent me.
Q: On what date will the current Top 50 members each have 10,000 or more posts?
A: Never, since some of them aren't posting, or are even losing post counts over time.
Q: On what date will the 50 members with the highest post counts all have 10,000 or more posts?A: March 16, 2010. It's a Tuesday.
Thanks a lot Doc.
I snorted so hard, I woke my wife up and something popped in my throat.
You got me hook, line and sinker as I was reading your reply seriously. Funny.
What a coincidence. That's the same day when Apple is rumored to be releasing The Product That Solves All Of Our Problems, Including Ones We Didn't Know We Had.™
Sushi posts in bed. Now that's something we didn't need to know.
As ever Doc, thanks for taking the time to produce another round of stats. They're genuinely interesting reading.
I always wait until this thread to form my New Years resolution.

It's important to have goals and I fully support your quest to surpass my legacy of postwhoring with your own. Somewhat fitting now that my partner-in-spam has also been absent the last 4 months or so... time moves on, things change...
At our current respective posts/day rate it shouldn't take you too long - I'm sure Doctor Q already has it calculated to the day.
So alas, I will ultimately no longer be the highest ranking non-Mod/God in terms of post count.
But just remember, I will always remain the one and only MacRumors Bastard!
