    Not to piss on your parade, but nearly 15,000 (14667, to be exact) of those members have zero posts...

    And honestly, there are only around 1500 of those 25,000 who have 50 posts or more.

    On a lighter note, YoungGun is our "Top Gun" with 24,772 posts!

    I am 28th on that list with 7,138 posts...

    Cheers! M2

    Where do you go to get those statistics?

    TX1911 wrote an article a few years ago about forum demographics. According to himn the vast majority of users are lurkers without accounts, followed by people who register and don't ever post, followed by people who post a few times... I'm sure you see the pattern.

    Top of the forum...

    Community >> Member List

    Across the top, where it says "User Name" and "Posts," click on the word "Posts." It will list all the users by their number of posts. I can to continue scrolling through until I got past all the "members" with 0 posts.

    Honestly, the numbers mean very little. If over half of the "members" have never posted, what's the point of celebrating that?

    Plus, it should be quality over quantity. It would be interesting if this forum had a 'like' feature where people could positively rate posts. That feature exists on a forum I admin. From that we could get a better idea of who is really contributing to the topics...

    The whores would just ruin that stat too.

    Congrats on 25k though.

    Folks come & go and that's the nature of the Internet. Still, we have a good place to share ideas here. I'm glad to be involved in the forum!
