So mods/admin…can one of you take pity on me and satisfy my undying curiosity for a top-40 list of Dopers arranged in descending order by post count? Please? I am also curious to discover how many people are still in the top 40 post count and are either banned or just drifted away. I know **Dio** is way up there. ---

> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > We should have made it more clear that this particular functionality is turned off for members on the dope. My post, and I assume, Telemark’s as well, was meant as guidance for any passing admins who may be inclined to help. Exactly. I’m an admin on another board using vBulletin and we have that functionality turned on, but we also try to discourage people from posting just to boost their post count so it doesn’t get used much. ---

> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > LOL, how did **Nemo** misconstrue 17,500 to be 80,000? Simple. I don’t really pay that much attention to post counts. The figure of 80,000 (which is wrong) just stuck in my head for some reason. ---

Is there any way one of you all could be so kind as to post a list of say, the top 40 members here by post count, in descending order? It has been told to me that you all are the only ones capable of doing this. I am interested to see how it plays out, how many of the people on the list are banned or no longer post, etc. Thank you in advance. ---

Well, here it is! Huh. I expected, I dunno, some fireworks shooting out of my computer or something. Well, actually, that would be bad, so never mind that. Maybe a mug. Can I get a mug?
