My main account has 5,400+. My alternate accounts have approx. 4200, 3650, 2760, 2420, 2280, 2180, 1850, 1630, 1230, and 8 others each hovering between 600-800 posts. That's over 27,800 combined on my 18 accounts. That might beat all. What's the prize?

Nevermind. I don't need a prize. My reward is in tying up besson3c, making him think he's debating 5 or 6 different people (and siding with 8 others) in every thread. Just don't tell him that the Political War Lounge is only made up of 2 actual people - me and him.

I was slightly shocked to find yesterday that I have about 25,000 posts over two accounts (and over ten years).

I'm cool with that so long as you don't announce that you are Abe - that would really mess with my head.

How do you guys know that I don't have any alter egos? There was Butthawk, Buttsauce, John McCandyCane, and some other candy cane related account when I was trying to convince you guys that I own a candy cane factory.

I don't think I've spent nearly as much actual time online as besson, and my count is pretty high. And respectfully, besson, I don't think I have nearly the number of "are too!" and "am not!" type posts that you do.

It would be interesting to examine the "useful content" of posts and give some sort of point value to each. That, multiplied by post count, would be an interesting score, I think. But the metric I pay the most attention to is "posts per day," which you can see when you look at anyone's profile.

After six or seven years, a nick that seemed like a great idea at some point may feelā€¦un-appropriate.

It was nice digging this one out again after a couple years, though - sort of like coming home.

Nice, too, to find that I still like it.

No, there is no hard rule.
I asked for clarification a couple of times, but the mods decided that they don't want to get dogmatic with that. Ok in my book.

However, you are not allowed using a second nick for ban evasion purposes.
That's the only hard rule.

These were the same person, right? If so, wow... over 49,000 posts.

If he were still here today, he might be approaching 100,000.

Well, I think besson3c still deserves a cookie for being the active poster with the most posts.



He should hurry up and try to get past Zimphy before the inevitable bannination....

Dakar, none of your old accounts was banned. I could merge them for you.

At 27,317 posts it would not give you the win. But so much wisdom deserves recognition.

That fetish has been retired, although I'm starting to think that instead of it leaving us to go to besson3c fetish heaven it was stolen by you in transit, cause you seem more infatuated with it than I am now!

I'm into the sound effects guy from Police Academy.

P.S. have you signed my petition yet?

There are many names missing from that list (the top 20).. missing in the sense that they should be there but their posters either changed their handle or just acquired a life.

Cipher_13 for one, maxelson another..
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.
