Where is it?
Sometime late in 2001, maybe? He’s done more than 4800 posts since then, at a rate of just over 10 posts per day. Best of luck finding it, Aslan2.
Ah, sure here it is:

I think I didn’t post it for 2 weeks to throw off everyone’s estimate of when it would be.
I registered in March 2000 and noticed that handy had more posts than anyone. I made a post which stated that he had over 10,000 and of course I was quickly reprimanded by many dopers, including {b]handy**. You would have thought it was like mentioning a no-hitter in the ninth inning. :eek: DDG is very close, but her daily posts lag slightly behind handy’s. I feel like I live on the boards and my average per day in only half of their’s.
Isn’t Guinastasia over 10,000 now too? Are she and handy the only ones?
Coldfire has 12,100 posts.
Wow, I hadn’t realized there were so many. Thanks for the answers- is there a way to do a search for post count or are those just off the tops of your heads?
why were you reprimanded for stating they had huge post counts?
and im not a baseball fan, so can you explain your analogy?
I don’t know how it applies to post counts, but in baseball, you’re not supposed to talk about a pitcher throwing a perfect game (or a no-hitter), because if you do, it will cause a run of bad luck (or, more likely, make the pitcher nervous enough to lose his concentration) and spoil the perfect game before it can be completed.
Again, I have no idea how this would apply to posting, unless you believe that talking about post counts will cause another board crash.
Heck, when Ryan was pitching everytime he had a no-hitter going no one would even sit near him in the dugout or talk to him at all much less just avoiding the subject of the gamei n progress.
Having a lot of posts is cool, but frankly I can’t think of one advantage of having the most posts. It’s like King of the Mountain here or something
