There are lots of folk with way more than me ...
My excuse is I don't participate in any other forums ..there was another for a little while but I have given up on them.
Mike must be over 35,000.
I post because I don't go out or socialise...much...and often iceinspace is my only contact with the outside world...once even when I was not watching TV or had the radio on and in the bush weeks on end I would come here.
So rather than boast my post I think it is a sad reflection of how anti social and hermit like I am most of the time.
And boasting is not a thing to encourage it walks hand in hand with vanity and pride each and all do not belong to one with decent values I would think...not judging others but I try and set a humble style for myself.

And at the end of the day, all high post count means is that a person has verbal diarrhoea.
Case in point
It would be interesting to see a breakdown of post counts by topic, as so many seem to be casual general conversational exchanges, ie people using IIS as a social media application, or messaging app. Private message count would also be interesting. I moderate another forum (non-astro) and moderators always have higher counts due to the work they do. I often wonder about the 'hijack count'.

Number of posts divided by number of years as a member shows a better picture.
I only post general chat these days although just recently I have posted in other spots.
I avoid giving advice these days as there are many others better equipped and up to date with products and methods.
Once I would post as a crackpot in the science section in an effort to draw out real scientists and generate activity there.
I like just looking at the latest photos and reading about diy projects...I like to be not logged in cause I often use someone else's computer but some kind folk wonder if I am OK...I think family look in here to see if I am still alive...

You as a devil's advocate Alex...? Never!
Most people enjoy your posts my friend. Maybe you should write a book or magazine article on something esoteric.
On another forum I used to be very active on, whenever someone drew attention to their high post count the forum admin would change it to some low number (below 10)
Err, I have nearly 10,000, but i have been here a while
I reckon Mike would be the "Sir Post a Lot"
PS, has anyone every gone through the list of members from A-Z
and find they join and never post again, I did, it is amazing, once joined you never hear from them again
Never heard this one before. That said is there such a thing as buy n' sell diarrhoea?
