    ... but was intrigued by the sorted list of posters, or registered (alleged) users* of boards.

    * One who uses or makes use of something, a consumer.

    So, on the basis that each screen holds 20 entries, the following:
    thru means that there are ~25,000 folks who've registered but have never, ever, posted.

    So, may I offer an open and sincere invitation upon this thread to welcome one or more of the shy 25,000 to say hello, ola, bonjour, whatever?

    You know you want to :)

    May I also suggest to the assembled masses thay any post containing the phrase "yore ma" be excluded from the 10 million. Including this one, obviously. Probably still got a million to go, so.

    Aren't there forums that don't contribute to your postcount, like TCN and Thunderdome?
    If TCN posts were included in postcounts, mine would be much much higher!
    So some of those 0 posts guys might have some posts there.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I must go find what page I'm on in that list...

    EDIT: Pg 19. Sandwiched between chrislad and bops (whoever the fcuk they are :confused:)

    how many would it be if, hypothetically, each screen held 40 entries?

    I'd say a huge amount are spambots that couldn't validate their emails too. Then there's adverts.ie. Most of the people there never post on boards itself but have an account.

    I wouldn't say too many people post much in tCN or the Thunderdome without spilling into AH the odd time.


    I think Dev talked on a podcast about the number of registrations each day and broke it down into spambots, people who couldn't validate, trolls, reregges and genuine posters.

    LOL! I feel like such a fool :o Yep, 40 per page. Duh. The heck did I get 20?

    Anyhoo. Excluding non-validated accounts, adverts, trolls and spambots, surely one shy and retiring soul (outa 50,000) might've plucked up the courage to say hello. I feel so neglected :(

    So, essentially, I have more posts than about the bottom 80,000 accounts put together. :)
