Moderators shouldn’t count, since at least a percent of their posts are modding posts. It’s funny how Dio hasn’t even been here and yet no one else has got ahead of him yet. ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > It’s funny how Dio hasn’t even been here and yet no one else has got ahead of him yet. From time to time I look at my list of customers in Quickbooks. My top customer was such a big spender that even though he lost his job two years ago and hasn’t spent much/any money here, the person in the number two spot isn’t going to overtake him for at least another year. If she lost her job, she’d hold the number 2 spot for, I’d guess, the next 3 or 4 years. It’s the 80/20 rule. 80% of your business comes from 20% of the customers. I’d guess the same thing is somewhat true here. A handful of posters make the majority of the posts. It would be interesting to look at all the posters that were active in the last (or a calender) year, sort by post count (for the year), take the top 20% of that list and see if they made 80% of the posts for the year. There’s 25 posters listed there and just shy of a million posts between them (jesus..someone wanna check my math there). The stats at the bottom of the page say we have 15.2 million posts. That’s about 7% of the posts from well under 20% of the members. Anyone care to extrapolate? ---

The scary part is, half of the users on that list are socks of the same person! ---

What’s cool is that it appears that aside from Dio, every single other poster is active still and I recognize all their names. I feel like I am moving along at a pretty good clip. Its hard for me to imagine that I’ve surpassed many of the 1999ers and I’ve only been posting since 2008. I think that says a lot about me…and I’m not sure I want to get into the specifics of what that might mean! If I extrapolate my yearly average, if I were a 1999er I would have something close to 40,000 posts or so. Yikes. ---
