It’s in the url of your Profile page. If you do a mouseover of your user name in your post, that url is displayed at the bottom of the window. In your case, it’s 19961. As far as Too Much Time, it may seem like a lot, but really it doesn’t take that much. It’s not like I update everyone’s post count once they get on the list, for example. Those post counts are mostly a couple weeks or so old. So posting the list again is just a matter of copying and pasting. ---

Member number 886, posts 924, so I guess I am in this club as well. ---

My member number is 411, and I have 3599 posts (including this one), but I do not appear on your list. It would be interesting to sort the list by ratio of posts to member number. ---

At 500 posts a day you’d pass your member number in just 3 weeks. At only one post a day it’ll take about 30 years. The choice is up to you. Start your keyboard!!! ---

Heh. Thirty years I guess is it then. I’m too much of a slacker to be that committed anyway. ---

It wouldn’t be difficult to have more posts than my join # (4708) but I generally read more than I post. Then again, only a few weeks ago was my 4th birthday as a doper. (check out my join date) ---

I almost feel like I should pit this thread. It’s something that if it gets traction will only further isolate the SDMB. The SDMB got rid of post counting parties a long time ago. And it did it for a reason. ---

Yesterday was my 17th anniversary as a poster here, so my number is fairly low (546), and less than 1/26 of my post count. ---

I don’t see it as a game, I think it works out here better. But If you want to talk about it any further, make an ATMB topic about it, please, just so this one doesn’t get hijacked about talk of what may or may not be suited for Thread Games.
