Who has the most Post?

Maybe we can create top 10 or top 20 list of posters that automatically updates.
Similar to a game site that list your ranks.

It already exists: See SatelliteGuys.US - Members List

20K+ is a very reserved club . Ice is approaching 30K

Question why are there only 82999 members in that list when the site has 95,389 ? vBulletin limit?

Maybe the difference is banned people?

 

[Ilya]

It's mostly people who registered, but have never activated their membership. Banned people too.

 

[Van]

Then shouldn't that be corrected as it shows a discrepancy?

 

[Hall]

There's a HUGE number of people who've joined and never posted. There's also thousands who joined and never came back too.... You gotta wonder why people do that. But hey, they still counter as "members".

 

[Ilya]

The list only shows active (activated) members. Don't think this can be easily corrected. This is how the vBulletin works, I guess.

 

[qwert1515]

Well... that means 87% of the members are "active" (post or read regularly)

Active and activated are two very different things.

Signing up doesn't tie into reading or posting in the forums though. And there's no way that 87% of those who've activated their accounts read or post. Look at the number of people with ONE or ZERO posts and then look at their 'join' date and 'last visit' date.

 

[Ilya]

When someone registers, an email is sent automatically. To activate the account the new member must click on the link in the email. For whatever reason, a lot of people provide an invalid email address (intentionally or unintentionally), or simply don't respond. So, they register, but don't get activated.

In addition, a lot of people register to post SPAM or to ask how to steal satellite service. Such members get banned on a daily basis.

Thanks for clearing up what active/activated means.
