Wow, surprising to see I'm still in the Top 25 - up until Steve's death (RIP) I hadn't posted here for a few years! Good to see both old and new faces on the site, that helps keep things interesting. I'll try to pop back on MacRumors from time to time, cheers for now...

Glad to see you back, ~Shard~. Are work, real life, and your focus and priorities making life great for you? How's your (TV star) wife?
Are you someone we should know?
nice to see you around these parts. it has been a long time. i hope everything's been going well for you.
It stupefies. I had a posting rate of 31.7 a year ago and now I'm down to 9.4. To be honest, I'm surprised that it's that high as I was expecting something along the lines of 5 posts a day. Okay, now I have moderator duties which take time away from regular posting but still. It's the same old questions and at some point, you fine something better to do. At the same time, new faces rise though.
Eventually, you just run out of stuff to talk about.
"And that's all I have to say about that"
But, actually a kind of serious question, how do you fit in the rest of your lives?
Sometimes I think to myself, "Bloody hell, you're spending far too much time on here " and I still only have a rate of 1.7something a day.
*bowled over* That is quite astonishing.

I miss mad jew. He was good value.
Yes. Fantastically helpful, never nagged or talked down to people, wicked sense of humour. Active demi. A class act and MR's loss.
Legend.
I've tried to forget, but I just can't.You forgot the mankini.
Mad Jew was brilliant, and still is I'm sure wherever he may be.
mad jew
The name given to someone who posts excessive amounts of pointless crap on Internet forums.
He went mad jew in our forum. We had to subsequently ban him.
If he hasn't been banned there yet.
I just did a search for "mankini mad jew" and came upon this Urban Dictionary entry:
You forgot the mankini.
Perhaps Doctor Q can do this, but the forum search doesn't allow searching for posts by a particular date or date range, or showing all posts by a poster, regardless of date. It's quite limited.It would also be interesting to see a graph of posting rate across time for the top 50, perhaps with a sliding window of 30 days?
Yeah, that's more of a rhetorical request rather than one I expect someone to create. It might also start brushing against people's privacy.
Although that'd be a cool feature to access in one's CP.
So many fun things one can do with data.
Yeah. I've conveniently 'forgotten' a lot about MR, funnily enough. But that was bloody hilarious; another clue to his character, never took himself too seriously, brilliant banter too.
jsw once called him one of the people who acted like glue around here, holding people together. All true. There used to be a lot of characters on this forum who you'd just log in each day to see what they'd been up to.
By the time he's pushed down off the top 50 list, we'll all be collecting our pensions.
