Apparently some posts are more popular than others it would seem.Moreover, I daresay that when measuring "likes" some posts have received several likes.
well, I tend to either show my legs or make polls that send me to hell on my threads so posters either like my short/fat/hairy legs or they like the idea of sending me to hellApparently some posts are more popular than others it would seem.
@jkcerda. Less than 400 posts, more than 23,000 likes.
Here's another list for your amusement.

Because many of these users' posts were made before the Like system was available, I don't compute the ratio of likes to posts. That measure would artificially favor more recent forum members.
See, another like! I just contributed to your total! LOL!well, I tend to either show my legs or make polls that send me to hell on my threads so posters either like my short/fat/hairy legs or they like the idea of sending me to hell![]()
The traditional goal is to produce Chart #1, Chart #2, and Chart #3. I added Chart #4 based on an excellent suggestion. The rest is just curiosity, so what I look at varies from year to year.How do you decide what it is you wish to measure?
if PRSI post counted I would make the top 50 list ..........See, another like! I just contributed to your total! LOL!
I don't think that's a concern.I used to worry that publishing these lists would encourage forum spamming, but I haven't seen evidence that anyone is making useless posts in an effort to make the Top 50. People with high levels of participation are interested in the discussions, want to express their opinions, want to help other users, and/or have plenty of time for MacRumors.
Not these days, but in 2003 it took only 1359 total posts to make the Top 50. At current post rates, Relentless Power or C DM could have made that list in less than 2 months, starting from 0.I don't think that's a concern.
Is "find users with lots of posts" a manual operation? Because that would be tedious and time-consuming.I use curl to collect raw data, but there's more to do, starting with deciding which users to collect data for. But in theory others could do this too. I probably use my administrator status to collect certain details, but I think that the primary task could be done by others: find users with lots of posts and/or high post rates, project totals 6 months into the future, and compile the various lists.
Somebody with lots of time to kill could collect and analyze data from the "Areas" sections in user profiles and uncover all sorts of facts and trends, including top poster lists that include PRSI. That information wasn't available under vBulletin, but is under Xenforo.if PRSI post counted I would make the top 50 list ..........
No way. They're sneaky and not to be trusted. One stole my wallet and my car.LemurLover said:Lemurs are the greatest animal of all! Some of my best friends are lemurs.

I don't think that's a concern.
The users with the most posts are so far ahead that to even come remotely close there would have to be a concerted spamming effort that would get noticed rather quickly.
For myself, I strive to post more, but I don't spam. There's no point in it. The difference between me and the top poster is around 27K posts. So, I engage more and try to explore more parts of the forums than I am normally in. That also leads to discussions I've not ever been a part of before so it can be interesting.
That results in a win/win I believe.

I start with the previous year's list of tracked users, currently over 400 users. To that list I add any other users with at least 5000 posts, which tends to add fewer than 25 new "trackees" each time. I used to rely on vBulletin's public Member List, sorted by post count, to find them. Under Xenforo you can see the Top 20 here but there isn't a public version of the complete member list. However, I bet that the "staff" would be willing to provide a list of users with 5000 or more posts, twice a year on request, if somebody wanted to process it.Is "find users with lots of posts" a manual operation? Because that would be tedious and time-consuming.
Or is there a scrapeable page that serves as a starting point for this adventure?
