High posters by length of membership
Here are the current post count leaders for each year, based on when they registered.
In other words,
jefhatfield has the highest post count of all members who joined MacRumors in the year 2000.
In theory, somebody else could eventually take over one of these titles. The later the year, the more contenders there are. By a wonderful coincidence, 2001 new members joined MacRumors in the year 2001. Only those users have a chance to top
jefhatfield's post count for this list. In 2002 there were 10,693 new members contending for the title. Jump ahead 15 years, and in 2016 there were 53,075 new members, each potentially topping
Relentless Power's post count... someday. In 2017 there were a mere 49,620 new members.
