Most Active Posters: Find Out Who They Are!

  • Thread starter actionintegral
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about finding the most active posters on a forum and a way to perform this query. The conversation also touches on the fact that not all forums and posts are included in the post count, with some members having a high post count due to frequent posting in certain sections. The conversation also discusses the idea of quality over quantity in post counts and how some members may have a lower post count but produce more valuable content.

I would like to know who the most active posters are. Is there a way to
perform this query? I can go individually, but there are so many members.

Go into the member list
You can reach that by clickeng on your User CP, and then on your buddy/ignore list. There will be an option there to reach the memberlist.

Then, use the Advanced Search function with "post count" as your first searching criterion.

hallsofIvy has most posts on his conscience.

Don't forget that posts on GD do not enter into the post count.

We also stopped counting posts in P&WA. Why do posts in philosphy still count?

Brings up a good point. "Post count" doesn't reflect the frequency of posting. (some may consider "most active" to be "most frequent")

Also, the post count doesn't reflect the 2 or 3 times the counts for everyone were reset to zero when PF went through upgrades.

If his posts from GD and P&WA were counted, he'd probably be over 10,000.

Do you have some kind of progam that runs 24-7 that logs on and posts random things?

Jeez, I've really dropped. Did GD and P&WA posts get subtracted?

For perhaps the first two years, I averaged over ten posts a day, though I have dropped quite a bit lately.

It's quality not quantity in post counts, look through the highest posters, and I bet you can pick out those you would most likely read whatever they posted and those you would avoid. Hell I bet there are some who post here that only have a few hundred posts but almost all masterpieces.

In my post count though there's neither quantity or quality, but then I'm hear to learn not proselytise :wink:
