Many of us on the list are on the list by shear length of time on MR ... If we were starting out now and given the increase in MR member numbers and growth of the site overall, I'm sure we would struggle to get on the list.
I am happy I'm on the list though, the site has provided many years of kinsman ship
@Doctor Q question for you doc
Do these overall post counts take into account the posts in some of the subsections that were taken away from post count history ? I.e. Such as the console subfora when that was taken off users there (some of us had hundreds of posts then). If they do not take into account those subfora which were exempt from post count, I do wonder if the numbers would be different and some of the placements affected.
Curiously interesting observation, and that is something that hasn't occurred to me.
There used to be a sub-forum on music - where everything to do with music was discussed, - not just what you are listening to - but that sub-forum was discontinued to my immense regret. (Apparently, music became less compelling in people's lives). Anyway, it was a forum that I really liked, visited often and posted in frequently when I first joined the community.
