    Moving to Feedback ...

    Give me a definition of 'posting regularly' and I'll see what I can find out for you.

    I am, only in Poker and Soccer though, pretty much. Oh and the odd abusive post in Feedback.

    Say people who still have over 1.X amount of posts per day.
    How does that work anyway? Is it the average from the start their registration, or does it reset every few months and start anew?

    Well, taking those with over 500 posts who have visited in the past six months and who originally registered in February 1998 gives 44:
    • Blade
    • bubbles
    • ButcherOfNog
    • Cloud
    • Coyote
    • damo
    • DeVore
    • Draco
    • Dr_Teeth
    • elexes
    • FreaK_BrutheR
    • gandalf
    • Hecate
    • Hobbes
    • Jaden
    • Kali
    • Kegser
    • Kharn
    • Koopa
    • LoLth
    • Lucutus
    • Maximilian
    • MiCr0
    • MindPhuck
    • musician
    • OSiriS
    • Regi
    • Rev Hellfire
    • Ronin
    • SheroN
    • SickBoy
    • Slaanesh
    • Slosh
    • Spoonman
    • tHE vAGGABOND
    • TinCool
    • Trojan
    • TwoShedsJackson
    • Venom
    • Verb
    • Vexorg
    • Von
    • WhiteWashMan
    • Zero

    It is inexact but gives an idea. Increasing the post count to 2000 (more like 1 a day) drops the number by about half.

    It's a facinating to see how much boards has evolved over the years, Sometimes there are more members actually online these days that the total registered number back then. Actually it's amazing to see how the internet in general has changed in all that time the layouts and graphics on what are now major sites like Yahoo were so simple back then.

    Really don't know what's wrong with this link, but most of the images on the homepae won't wokr on my pc?

    Also, the list DeVore put up was surprising.Would've though ecksor was registered way back since 98!

    yes, i remember when about 50 or 60 of us got together waaaaaaaay back when, and decided to invent a virus.

    we called it DeVore.

    we forgot to program in some sort of self destruct sequence.
    we remembered to put one in the Suds virus though.

    MUAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
