Godammit.
I will go with (in no particular order):
Marley23
Polycarp (isn’t he a given?)
Diogenes the Cynic
Quasimodem (where are you, did I miss something?)
Opal
honorable mention goes out to:
SatisfyingAndyLiscious
Askia
Miller
Lieu
Eve
WallyM7
Eve
Opal/OpalCat (she automatically gets #3 on the list)
Handy
Espirix
I’d have to go with
Eve
QtM
Wally - he was way before my time here, but I know of him
EddyTeddyFreddy
newcrasher - you did ask for the most famous doper, right? 
Mhendo
QtM
Rue DeDay
Polycarp
Eve, whose muff I really miss.
Anastasaeon, who is also on my list (although partly because she’s nice and partly because of the penis pun), thank you.
Also, Aesiron, harmless, and harimad-sol.
Other than that: iampunha, PolyCarp, Filthy Beast of Meat and Hair, Ferret Herder are the ones that catch my eye all the time.
It’s funny, I can read these and almost tell a person’s join date by the names that they list.
Before all others there was Cecil Adams and his bastard progeny, Ed Zotti
In General:
Wally - he has a smiley that’s more or less dedicated to him.
Gaudere - she’s got a law.
(Hi) OpalCat - she’s got a “saying”.
Scylla - probably generated more board traffic than anyone with his “Blimps” story.
Guinastasia - I think she’s the reigning poster supreme
Honourable Mentions by Category:
ATMB - Tubadiva
General Questions - Jinx seems to ask the most questions; Duck Duck Goose used to answer a ton of them.
Great Debates - most recently, maybe Diogenes, Bricker, Reeder, BrainGlutton stick out the most to me.
Cafe Society - Eve, Ukelele Ike, Twickster
IMHO - No one really juts out at me from there, it kind of comes and goes.
MPSIMS - Let’s put Punha here, plus Rue, and maybe Bosda di Laurentis. This is where the new faces seem to emerge from time to time, so honorable mentions here to FlamsteretteX, Anaamika and Aesiron.
Pit - Wildest Bill, December, Handy, JDT, this list can go on for a while, but let’s stop there.
Man, Aldeberon gets no love any more.
What, no mention of Sauron?
I’m #6! I’m #6! ::dances wildly:: And being Shibb’s #18 ain’t bad either.
Cecil, Ed, Poly, Guin and Lib are my five, I think.
[sub]Anyone else wondering whose screen name has been mentioned the most times, ever?[/sub]
Do you know? My guess is handy or Reeder with Liberal closing in at the speed of light.
My guesses, and I’m unaware of a search that would decide this, are:
- Opal
- december
- Coldfire
No. 1 on that just came to me a few minutes ago.
The problem with name mentions is nicknames, variations and mispellings. I bet Guin gets shortened or misspelled a lot, Ed’s not searchable by itself, Cecil is sometimes called other things, like the Perfect Master or Unca Cece, Polycarp and Liberal are shortened, etc. So someone like Handy could be first unless a very sophisticated search is used.
Hey, you can consider yourself 6 on my list, too. Or number 1 in MPSIMS. Everything after the top five was just hypothetical, anyway.
Also, you have to read each individual search result to ascertain that it is, in fact, a mention and not, say, a quoted post.
My guess is that an Opal search would return the most valid hits.
Fenris used to be kind of a superstar around here.
And I thought there’d be more than one mention of Wildest Bill.
Let’s see.[ul][]Don’t poke the bear, Dad![]Shut The Fuck Up Donny[]The sadly banned-before-he-ever-made-a-post “Holy Shit I Like Pie” so I can’t find his profile[]Imthecowgodmoo[/ul]Completing the list by adding a fifth is left as an exercise for the reader.
Well hell, if you’re going to include those people then we can’t forget the immortal fuck_the_mods and tuba_diva_can_suck_my_wang
It’s hard to name a top five. I based my choices on a question “Who’s the first person you think of when you want an answer/comment on a particular subject?” So, in no order:
- Qadgop the Mercotan-medicine
- Eve-theater/movie arts
- Polycarp-religion, civilized and scholarly
- lieu-toilet humor
- Scylla-humor
Eh, I mentioned the ‘I like pie’ user since there was a pit thread asking why he was banned - a number of us saw his name as the “Welcome to our newest user” on the forum list, and while those immortal names are obviously asking for a smackdown, this guy’s name just cracked me up.
Sadly I couldn’t find the thread in the pit:
And “holy shit” is in every thread anyway, it seems…
Without reading everyone else’s entry first, concentrating on “famous” as opposed to infamous (so no Banned), and without moderators:
Scylla
gobear
Guinastasia
Polycarp
Duck Duck Goose
