Highest postcount you've ever seen

Exit · 2007-03-04 17:52:43

What is the highest postcount you've ever seen on the internet? Provide linkage proof if you can. And what's the highest postcount you've ever had? Both for me were at a forum called dotmusic. It's no longer around, so I can't provide a link to prove it. The highest post count was someone approaching 40,000 (at 39,XXX),…

And what's the highest postcount you've ever had?

Both for me were at a forum called dotmusic. It's no longer around, so I can't provide a link to prove it. The highest post count was someone approaching 40,000 (at 39,XXX), and the highest I've ever had was there with just over 10,000. It was primarily a music site, but it also a really bull****ty site with absolutely no moderation and just random posts (kinda like The Cuckoo's Nest, but spread out over 100 or so forums. The person hitting 40,000 went on to be my girlfriend for a few years :eek:

Yeah, I was with her for 5 years. She wasn't as nerdy as her postcount would indicate. Just unemployed and bored.

She wasn't permanently unemployed or anything. Just for the period I'm talking about, which was about a year after she left school. She wasn't the stereotype you're thinking of either.

Still, I would probably class it as a mistake, except at the time I wasn't quite the catch either, but it gave me the confidence to move on

Its the quality tho not the quantity that matters? or is this question just to see who has most time on their hands?

Victor's I think, it's huge! The other forum I visit tends to be based more on rep than postcount, I think a high postcount there might be like 3,000.

well considering that his is 200% of all forum posts on that forum, It would be a fair guess to say that the SQL dB was edited, like sparky's site...

My girlfriend's interpenis is bigger than mine, she has about 45,000 posts on a site =[. My net total is probably under 10,000. The internet just pisses me off after a while.

just read a sample of this guy's posts.

some amazing insights to be gained there alright

definitely a case of quantity over quality i suspect.

still, 1000000+ posts is fairly remarkable.

Both for me were at a forum called dotmusic. It's no longer around, so I can't provide a link to prove it. The highest post count was someone approaching 40,000 (at 39,XXX), and the highest I've ever had was there with just over 10,000.

I look at EA forums sometimes, and I did notice alot of guys with 10 - 20,000 posts - and they'd only been members about six months. Not the biggest I've ever seen but still...
