If you look at the top posters, many are moderators.

Funnily enough posts in the moderator forums do not count. The last few years my post count remained almost stagnant as moderating is about all I do anymore (and the odd beta, time permitting). Back in the (very) old days I pretty much answered every game question and averaged over 50 posts a day (being a student helps). I'm still living off those posts :D

I always wondered another thing, how many people read this forum without ever registering to it or making a single post anywhere around the place. Do you have any stats on those "silent" readers? I was like that for quite a few years before I registered.

I sometimes have the feeling that guy reads EVERY AAR on this forum.

I don't know if he reads them, but he definitely does post in each ;)

Ooohh !

I still remember the times, when postcount really meant something, when +3,000 posters were rare and special. Today, it's all about the icons :)

Icons! Who said more Icons! You are correct Veld.

Someone pops up the word "icon" and SAS appears... it's almost magic :laugh:

On a side note, my post count has exploded with my MEIOU mod :)
But just helping other players, asnwering their questions do a lot.

How many of those games do you guys still play? (If it's all of them, I salute the death of hard drive space on your computer.)

Several are installed, ut mostly EUIII, DV, Warband and Magicka. Not more mainly due to lack of time, lately.

I go in waves, I am on a major HOI III kick right now. But I have almost all installed. The major ones I play are HOI, EUIII (MEIOU of course), and Sengoku. But I see a transition to Vicky II once the new expansion comes out.

If you go to the last page of the the list Darkrenown posted in the first page of the thread and work backwards, there are many many pages of users with 0 posts. And those are just the ones who registered. As for the ones who read without registering, I don't know if there's much to read without at least creating a username. You can only get the top level forum for all the new games, no OT, no subforums, etc.

Jesus, only 74,845 people have posted at least once in this forum. 260,111 have not. That means Vulture, Castellon, and BiB's post counts combined is more than everybody else's post counts combined.

Mmm, maybe ease down a bit on the Budwiser, your calculations are a bit off.;)

Those 3 have 91,099 post, number 4 to 8 have a total of 108,556 posts.

EDIT
Ahhh, you have edited your post.

Would the first 2 pages work out? Or would it be 3....

My guess is much more since there are almost 12.9 million posts made on this forum.

I haven't totalled them, but it looks like the posters on the first page (30) have a total of about 400,000 posts.

I think the largest problem would be that the 12.9 million probably includes "all" posts, while the 400 thousand only counts "those posts made in forums where postcount is added for making a post"

I don't think the OT forum would make up a huge part of the postcount, would it?
