I’ve by and large enjoyed John Mace’s posts and find him to be a much better than average contributor and debater. This board would be much worse without his 80,000 posts. ---

> [@nightshadea](#): > > is the long ago banned “handy” still the no 1 poster based on post count ? guy had 10k post in the first few years the board was opened … No, **handy** was passed years ago. I think he was tops when he was banned, but that was at a guess over a decade ago. If memory serves, he was near 20K. The much missed **Marley23** has 78,234, the banned **BrainGlutton** has 78,508, **LittleNemo** is closing in on 75K, **Chronos** around 72K. I couldn’t find anyone else over 60K, but I didn’t check extensively. ---
