Every now and then somebody asks if there is a list of the most productive Dopers and their post counts. The answer is invariably… well, I honestly don’t remember the invariable answer, but I don’t remember ever seeing a list. So I thought I’d make one because I’m a dorky, number-crunching, anal kind of guy and I was curious. I searched through the biggest current threads in all of the fora and picked out the names of all the Dopers with over 1000 posts. That was no mean feat, let me tell you. I normally hang around GQ and The Pit. Frankly, GD frightens me. And I’ve no idea how I’m going to get rid of all these pink fuzzy bunnies after digging around in MPSIMS. So here’s my list, broken down into Dopers with over 1000 posts, over 2000, over 3000, etc. as of Friday, 19 October 2001. I didn’t include people banned as of that date. I didn’t record exact post counts because it was too much work and they would be outdated before this list was posted anyway. Personally, I was shocked at the huge number of very dedicated people we have here. **253 people have more than 1000 posts on the SDMB!** It speaks volumes for the popularity of this message board and of the value that so many people place on this community. I apologise in advance to whoever I’ve missed and to whoever by now has broken another thousand threshold and is in a higher group. There are also scores of Dopers who have almost reached 1000 posts. Please post any corrections here. ```auto **1000+ posts: 125 Dopers** 2sense featherlou Maeglin Rue DeDay Athena fierra MagicalSilverKey Ruffian AuntiePam Francesca Mauvaise Sam Stone Balance Freedom Mercutio samclem bdgr Gadarene MikeG Shadowfox beagledave Geobabe Miller ShibbOleth Bill H.

I had over 1000 before I changed my name. Anyboby remember **tennhippie**? For me, a high post number is nothing to be proud of. I only post when: (a) I’m avoiding responsibility (b) I can’t sleep and have nothing better to do © I’m feeding my ego by pretending that my opinion might matter to someone other than myself YMMV. ---

Damn you, **labradorian!** 😃 I just looked in my M-W 13th and they give for the _first_ meaning of _productive_ “Having the quality or power of producing esp. in abundance.” But, hey! This is **MPSIMS**. So who’s counting? 😃 ---

Prolific is less ambiguous in the common parlance. That was my only point. ---

I’m over a thousand as well. I remeber a time when i could almost list everyone over 1000 off the top of my head! (of course, my post count was around 250 then) ---

I’m kind of amazed that most of the busiest names are completely unfamiliar to me. It’s like there’s a second parallel Board. Of course, there are a couple of forums I seldom read, like staff reports and great debates, but I can’t think that accounts for all of it. I feel certain I have never seen any of these names before: ``` featherlou fierra Ruffian ``` Francesca Mauvaise Sam Stone Balance Freedom bdgr Gadarene MikeG Shadowfox beagledave Geobabe Miller ---

_Productive_… yeah, that should have been _prolific_. Poor choice of words. And damn it, I didn’t want to start that argument. It’s **not** my intention for this list to be a comment on the relative value of various Dopers. You’d have to be a fool to think that _simply_ having a high post count makes someone more worthwhile here. We all know it’s quality, not quantity that counts. It’s cliche, but it’s true. But I do find it interesting that many people are very _prolific_ here. I wanted to know how many, and how prolific. I’m sure others are interested too. What does it mean? I dunno. Just MPSIMS, that’s all. Call it the **Mother of all Post Parties** if you like. I’m truly sorry about missing **tomndebb** , **casdave** , **Odieman** , **rastahomie** , **Manda JO** and everyone else I missed. I have no excuse. I spent about 6 hours on Friday ploughing through a few dozen of the longest current threads in each of the fora. I thought I’d catch the vast majority that way. I was aware that I’d probably miss a few people, but I did my best. No offense intended. ---

When I see how few peers I have at 3000+, I feel like someone just smacked me upside the head with a sledgehammer and screamed “GET A LIFE!” in my ear. I can only hope that you missed another 100 or so who are as --uh, what is the word we’re going with?–prolific? as myself. ---

Yeah **Cranky,** my group of 5000+ posters was pretty small, too. I can honestly say, though, that the others in my group are _productive._ I’m just prolific. 😃 ---

I am, apparently, yet another Invisible Poster. But that’s okay – it’s a task (counting the prolifics) that _I_ wouldn’t want to face, so errors don’t bug me. 1000+ signing in. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-doper-list-who-has-1000-3000-7000-posts/88709.md?page=2)
