I think it might be me, but some of the longtime posters have gone to guest status, so their post counts aren’t displayed anymore. ---

Did TPTB relax the rule about “no post count parties”, or do they just make exceptions for people with way, way, way, way, way too much time on their hands? 😉 Congrats! Hope you can make it to 6 figures! ---

> [@Simplicio](#): > > So out of random curiosity, who has the highest post count? I did, briefly. Not really, but I jiggered the profile information in the upper right hand corner of my posts so it looked like I was claiming that my ZIP code (92801) was my post count.
