Who will surpass Mally's number of posts first?
 

This from Mally's obituary thread:

[QUOTE=victor;114855]
I wonder, was Mally with his 2,045 posts the biggest contributor of the forum?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Xyzzy;114861][code]mfgoode 2,045
xilman 1,876
ewmayer 1,817
cheesehead 1,758
Kosmaj 1,747
Prime95 1,668
R.D. Silverman 1,552
akruppa 1,508
ET_ 1,358
Uncwilly 1,326[/code][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Mini-Geek;114862]Maybe someone should make a thread for predicting who and when someone will pass up mfgoode's post count.

I was shocked, shocked, to discover that jasong was not included in this list! But I see that he has now surpassed ET_ and Uncwilly in number of posts, so I predict he will surpass Mally's number of posts on October 8th of next year. Of course, ewmayer has a healthy head start, but I predict that he will get so busy at work that he won't have time to read the New York Times online anymore. On the other hand, it seems unlikely that anyone will ever surpass the number of posts of Xyzzy, apparently left off this list because of a forum software glitch.

You are correct sir!

Extremely busy at my new job these days -

No time to post.

Sorry!

I have a mildly embarrassing feeling I might be high on a list of
rate of posting since joining.

Ewmayer's posts number didn't increase during his
last three. Lag in updating this?

2.47 posts per day according to my "profile".
0.47 of a post means I was drunk at the time:lol:

I think perhaps you misunderstand how this works - the displayed postcount is the same on every post, and reflects the latest total. For instance: right before I posted this reply my total was 1851, immediately afterward it should be 1852.

[i]Edit: And so it is.[/i]

I see.

Nobody will surpass Mallys postcount. Ever. I am sure of that. H.
