I was in another thread earlier today and saw someone who had over 5000 posts to his name. Does anyone have more then that? Who have the 5 highest post counts?

Well, based on their threads, i would have to say tennents & One cell, & Oldscratch, but Techchick did make an inpsired showing in the pit- clearly some of the HIGHEST posters.

However, if you are asking about the users with the most postings, well… 😃

insult or compliment?  
Well, considering that DITWD puts me in the same category as tennents… definetely compliment…  
Thanks guys.  
Although I’ll let you in on a little secret. The high posts are the coherent ones.

That list was written when yours truly wasn’t posting on the boards, so I don’t even think I was on the list.

I’m up there somewhere. I’m fairly close to the top in terms of both posts per day (500 per month, average) and total post count, at over 3100, I think.

Here are updated standings for all the people on the older list. Current as of sometime in the past couple hours. I’m sure there are plenty of new additions into this list, but I’ve only got so much spare time on my hands. I’m sure the top five are somewhere in this list. You can try putting them in order if you like.
