I think this belongs here, not in technical questions (because it’s not really one), but I don’t know. I’m curious about… posting stats. Well, duh. I figured out that this site has about 95 posts per user on average, but I’m wondering where I stand in the big picture. Who has the most posts, about where do I fall, etc. Is there a way to figure this out? I’m the leading poster on another Forum I frequent, and I’m nowhere close to that here- but I’m curious.
Anybody?

So far, **handy** has the most posts with 15,482. I don’t know if there is any approved way to get median/modal numbers of posts.
Precisely what else would you like to know about posting stats? (By the way, **kabbes** ’ sig has an interesting statistic on Doper longevity.)

It’s difficult to analyse posting stats due to the lack of any way to harvest the data (without driving **Tuba** nuts that is.
Still, see sig for some stuff (cheers **lel**
