I just clicked on the 3 horizontal menu bars near my user name. Selected “Users” then “Topics Created” and “Year”. Damn, I started 108 topics in the past year. I’m 2 ahead of Beckdawrek". But Love\_Rhombus at 148 and HeyHomie at 136 are well ahead. ---

I’m not much for topics created with 8 in the past year. But I am the single most prolific poster in that same period by about 10% over my closest competitor, @Smapti. With no disrespect to him, his nearly full-time job the last year of re-posting Xits showing trump or musk to be fools has given him a lot of posts, but many of those have rather little original content. He does post a bunch of original work too, but percentagewise it’s not as much. Third place in the posting race goes to @knoodler. Somebody I’ve long seen in the stats but otherwise don’t recognize. Turn out they play thread games, and only thread games. ---

Empty Vessels … Noise … Quantity … Quality. Yadda, yadda. Shit, 80,000 posts read in past 12 months! 200+ a day. Gazooks! I’m lapping up all this stuff with a soup ladle. Wherefore real life? Don’t know whether to be proud or embarrassed. ---

My stats are low compared to the champs here, but shockingly high as a percentage of how I spend an average day. I console myself with the thought “time you choose to waste is not wasted time!” ---

Well, it’s not just you. Meanwhile, I seem to have visited 365 days out of 365, which is a bit of a surprise to me. Even my hospitalized days, I was checking the Dope, apparently. I clearly have a habit. No new topics posted. A big fat goose egg. But I’m tied with a ton of people for #1 for days visited.
