    I have been interested of who are the top posters for a long time (other than Bib Fortuna and Sapient), and I was very happy to see that there is a whole new list for them. But before I managed to copy the list to my computer, they were gone (yes, I did hear it was just an error). I was sad, because now there is no way to find it out. :(

    So what I am asking, can you admins post that list here, PM it or send an email. I would be very happy if you can do it. :)

    Or if it is forbidden to have that list, just tell me and I won't ask again.

    The reason such a list is not immediately available to everyone is because we do want to encourage the glorification of high post counts. We have definitely run into problems with people who only care about a high post count. We do encourage quality over quantity. Just because a poster has thousands of posts does not mean they are necessarily a good poster or more important member of the community.

    As far as I know yes, it's the same reason why we don't use stars.

    Well, newbs will be newbs, but I'm guessing the stars were taken away because of their appearance on the boards.

    I know that, but can I please have that list? I have waited for so long... :(

    The stars have been gone for years. Looking at IGN's list it looks like everyone over 20k or 25k. They're not in order of most posts... so you'd have to sort through them youself to find who has the highest.

    Why do you even consider it important to know?

    Because I like to know it. I won't spread the word about it or anything else. I will just keep it, if I can have it. :(

    Is it even possible to send it to me, or is it just you don't want to? :(

    But you have to admit that a high post count means you are more visible to the board's population. Everyone knows who I am, but not as many people would know someone who only has, say, 100 posts.

    Actually, it doesn't neccessarily, nor does the fact that being infamous grant you anything. In a list of the say top 100 well known posters, sure you'd be there, but everyone would know you only as a spammer and nothing more. Most people gain their well-known status through the things they say when posting, but I'd be hard pressed to find more than about 20% of people that could have much of an idea of what you post.


    Post count, stars, colours, all of it is irrelevant. It is what you manage to say, not how often you can hit the post button that matters. Anyone who is looking for fame on a SW website sorely needs to get back out in the real world.
