Simple really, who is the poster with the most posts? 🙂 ---

I’m not sure who has the most, but I think I’m on a good track. almost 100 posts per month so far. ---

I believe it’s Guinastasia with 21,000+ posts. ---

Hell, i even average more that 100 posts per month. **Guin** , at 21k+ posts, is averaging almost 400 posts per month, or well over ten a day. ---

As far as I know, the question has been answered. On the one hand, this might belong in questions **A** bout **T** his **M** essage **B** oard, but it looks to be a bit chatty, so I’m going to nudge it over to **MPSIMS**. ---

When did Guinastasia become leader? What ever happened to the other one? Y’know she would post unhelpful one lines in GQs. There were multiple pit threads about her. I think she was deaf IRL. Anyone? ---

> [@CynicalGabe](#): > > I’m not sure who has the most, but I think I’m on a good track. almost 100 posts per month so far. If you aspire to greatness you need to be more argumentative. Post often in Great Debates and take a passioned position in the Pit. I’ve seen newbies (no offense) with a lot higher initial post rates, but it’s pretty hard to maintain\*. \*And really, what’s the point, it’s not a contest. If you have something important or interesting to say, say it, but don’t post just to post. Or if you do, please don’t post just to increase your post count. That’s increasingly frowned upon anyway. ---

I’ve seen newbies (no offense) with a lot higher initial post rates, but it’s pretty hard to maintain\*. Doesn’t take a GD or Pit fortress, my friend:) Just post a lot _somewhere_. Og knows there are more threads today than there were back four years ago. That initial posting frenzy is damn hard to maintain. First several months I was avering 500 ppm. If I had kept up that initial rate, I’d be sitting at around 24K posts. ::shudder:: BTW, **Liberal** is only about 700 behind **Guin** , so if one or the other of them gets busy somewhere else things could get interesting. ---

Yes, it helps if one has a proclivity to shed one’s clothing and then run through threads. _Well, yes, they call him the Streak… fastest thing on two feet._ ---

Well, maybe ill just give up. rarely have anything of significance to say. It always seems that great debates turn into pointless arguments in which noone is going to convince anyone else of anything. /turns to the bottle ---

Don’t worry, Sparky. You’ll get there. Heck, 100 ppm is only 3+ per day. There are tons of us who do that. I once pitted myself for losing control and posting more than 2000 times in less than six months. It was an ugly scene. ---

I don’t know… **QED** signed on after me, and he’s far surpassed me in post count. I just noticed that because all of a sudden he seemed to be all over the place, after I signed on. He seems to know a little bit about everything, so I guess it’s his mission to Fight Ignorance as best he can. 😉 ---

> [@Sam Stone](#): > > Anyone know how many of us are in the 10,000+ club? At least 50. Six in this thread, a seventh within 49 posts of 10K and Lib, Guin, Coldy and several others: DDG, manny IIRC, matt\_mcl, ‘luci, Eve, Dio, bosda, lieu, World Eater, mangetout and rjung. That’s 20 right there, and I only checked a few threads in the Pit to get those names I didn’t already know. I’d put a reasonable guess at 50. I don’t know, though, beyond using someone with access to a post-count list (if such a thing exists), a way of achieving a definitive list without plugging through all 3.5K+ charter members’ accounts.
