Good suggestion, but it took some work to put the lists together. I used the data for the last 3 years (6 six-month intervals). Use the horizontal scrollbar to see the entire table.
Each of the 6 lists shows the Top 50 Posters during the preceding 6 months, and their post count during that period. No weighting is used.
It's interesting to see how the number of posts by the top poster fluctuates, and the number of posts by the 50th poster also fluctuates. It's also fun to notice how some users have a fairly consistent position (
Applejuiced or
gnasher729, for example) while others jump around in position (
annk or
balamw, for example). Some users have joined or left the lists, while overall 44% of the Top 50 6-month posters in the first and last lists are the same.
