You don’t actually have to guess. You could use logic and search for the answer.
But using the “Who Posted?” tool and stripping off the actual Post Counts of those who had posted at the time of this post, these are the participants in an actual SDMB thread.
If nothing else, it might serve as a reminder that there are a whole bunch of Active Posters here.
Guess the Thread and provide its Forum and Title.

Well, with Shots at the top, I first went to the Pit, looking for big threads that I’d posted in. There weren’t all that many so I moved on. The next logical place to go is Cafe Society, because that’s where the biggest threads tend to be. That thread was pretty close to the top, and one of the first I clicked on.
Thanks for explaining. The size of that thing blew me away, especially the number of Views and I did the little “Who Posted?” trick and began to wonder who all hasn’t posted there besides me. Thus the idea for the “game.”
Your logic was solid and rapid. Good work.
Would this idea work for more obscure or older threads, you think? And perhaps where the OP doesn’t go on forever?
Would another thread searching for the most individual posters in a thread be worth the hassle?
Well, nothing against him, but his name was unfamiliar to me (if we have crossed paths I don’t recall it – that might be another fun search ) and I made the silly assumption that he (or is it she?) must not have all that many posts (what with being near the bottom of that stack). I was wrong! He/she has at least 30 pages of posts!
But I rode the horse I had bought and just started looking. Didn’t take more than a dozen clicks on his posts list to match your list.
The next gimmick in the Game will be to rearrange the names and to go to some long dead threads, zombies even!
Maybe others will find wrinkles to add to the thrills of such searches?
Thanks Munch, for your interest in this thread. It was mostly a lark at first.
I just checked: Richard Parker hasn’t posted in that OP list either. No wonder he and I have yet to cross paths – that I know of – because neither of us posted in that thread!
I’m seriously going to see if we have shared a thread and if so what and when. This could be embarrassing.
Yeah, something like a Mafia game will have about 20 players, plus maybe 5 or 10 more in the first page saying they won’t be able to play. And it’s mostly the same 30 or so people posting in every Mafia game, so it’d be hard to tell one from another.
