    I think this is reasonably interesting (and I dont want to see "get a life" and Lolcats again in reply to a post like this... thanks).

    However, apart from analysis of the numbers (which happens here about once every 2 months) I'm not sure what your point is? Is there a point?

    Anyway, if you ever wanted to know other numbers, I can run a variety of interesting queries on the site...

    DeV.

    I didn't realize these numbers were produced every two months, maybe I have seen them before but I have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast yesterday.

    Mainly two reasons, This is probably the largest forum I'm an (somewhat)active member of and I was interested to see how it all breaks down. I'm sure there is at least one person who might find this remotely useful.

    I applied for a certain job on a certain site and I thought it might be worthwhile to raise my profile a bit, how this will reflect in the process I'm not sure of but what harm is it to try. ;)

    Would it also be possible to get a sorted list of post counts? I'd like to see the long tail of the post count
    SELECT user.posts
FROM `user`
ORDER BY `user`.`posts` DESC

    Thanks

    That may not be their actual post count. As has been said before peoples post count have been reset before.

    There is where I got my top 46 numbers off but I'm looking for the entire list

    The idea of copy and pasting over 3000 pages is not appealing in anyway :p

    Can we add up all the 'yore ma' posts? That could be a valuable statistic to take to potential advertisers.

    'yore ma' is counting them up one by one as we speak. Give her a chance.

    We've had several Boards weddings... and we have a few Boards babies in fact.

    Frankly I find that terrifying for unclear reasons...

    Actually 6th, thats been on my mind for some time now. I have always felt there was a kind of "Boardserati"... ie: people who were interested and engaged with the way Boards is run. I'm giving serious thought to creating a forum for that sort of "musing"...

    +1 to that.

    I'd love to get into a discussion about how boards.ie infrastructure works.

    I know now that you use NFS to share a directory between all the web nodes so you can keep everything in sync with ease.

    There is no doubt at all that this place is made up of a lot more than just forums, threads and posts. I believe the success of Boards is down, in no small way, to the "life" this place has.

    All you need to do is look at the genuine reaction when we lose a fellow Boardsie. I have no idea why it is that we can care about people we may never have met but we do and its almost unreal.
