Post whores, the 5 year reunion.

Post by **Jeremy** » Jun 19, 2012 10:37 PM

Back in March of 2007, a forum member noticed that post counts were available and could be listed in descending order. He posted it. This was that list.

1 Shawn D. 2867
2 Tim in N FL 2290
3 C.R. Krieger 1931
4 Jeremy 1752
5 Wiseguy 1709
6 a 1589
7 Kyle in NO 1446
8 Tammer in Philly 1420
9 DRP535 1394
10 Super Eurobeat 1346
11 M635CSi 1286
12 Mless5 1262
13 BKCowGod3 1258
14 Mark 88/M5 Houston 1244
15 Duke M535ti 1134
16 BAVARIANUT 1128
17 robeyff 1099
18 Mike W. 1064
19 Rich Euro M5 1063

For amusement purposes only, this is how the list stands as of right ... now.

1 wkohler 35304

7 Jeremy 12021
8 Kyle in NO 11809
9 tsmall07 10193
10 a 9687
11 Bimmerguy2002 9628
12 Brad D. 9060
13 Duke 7828
14 Tammer in Philly 7454
15 shagrath 7299
16 Tim in N FL 7119
17 stuartinmn 7089
18 turbodan 7052
19 Mark 88/M5 Houston 6299
20 davintosh 6185

It's not really important in any way, but interesting to see the similarities and differences.

Out of that top 20, I think I've met about 13 (including myself). I'll have to work on that. I've really got to get out to some west coast events at some point.

I really need to post more.

davintosh · Post by **davintosh** » Jun 19, 2012 11:24 PM

Ho-lee carp; I made the top 20.

And I still feel like a noob (and probably sound like one most of the time too.)

Wait; was it really three years ago that I signed up?

Interesting to note that Chris Kohler isn't on the first list. I wonder how many on that list changed their handles since then.

wkohler · Post by **wkohler** » Jun 19, 2012 11:40 PM

IIRC, I was probably somewhere around 20-22 at that time. Also, those numbers didn't include all of their posts. If you clicked on their profile, then show all posts, Shawn had more than twice that.

-SEB got banned
-Wiseguy disappeared
-DRP535 didn't come around much
-robeyff disappeared
-BKCowGod3 sold his car to SEB and swore to stick around but disappeared probably because he never got paid in full for the car
-M635CSi is still around, but only in PM form
-BAVARIANUT doesn't come around anymore
-Duke sold his M535ti, so now he's just Duke.

I remember when I hit 4000 or something, they put a "Resident Post Whore" thingy on top of my username. C.R. and Tim in N FL had one for a while already. Then one day, it went away.

I'm proud to say I come in as #26 post whore. Not bad for joining around the time the original thread originated.

Mike W. · Post by **Mike W.** » Jun 20, 2012 12:19 AM

Yeah, it omitted the first few years of Mye28, both the pre registration and the first gen registration versions. Good thing or else I'd be a lot worse.

Interesting that 4 of us in the top 10 no longer have an E28. Hmmmm.

And Matt is/was prolific enough he made top ten the first time, then after ban and return before ban he worked his way up to number 11.

I've only met a few, talked with a couple more and PM'd a few more than that. How is it that most of the cars are on the west coast, but not the posters?

Must have something to do with you CA guys being able to holler down the street to ask a question about these cars, but the rest of us... Not so close.

Yaah, Dude, I love that.

Good thing about you post whores is most of you type shit that I enjoy reading

I was relieved to see I didn't make the top 30, maybe I have more of a life than I realized.

My average is going to be waaay down with MyE28's new server though. It's not Verizon wireless friendly which accounts for about 80% of my access (are those champagne corks I hear popping?

).

oldskool · Post by **oldskool** » Jun 20, 2012 11:53 AM

Damn. Always the under-achiever.

No, no, no! What this site needs is more of Charles, not less!

Is that the reason behind the new sig image?

If you're including me, I technically do have one. It's a parts car, but still ...

Mostly, I thought it was my obligation to post in the 'Post Whore' thread.

I was referring to you.

I didn't know about the parts car, it's hard to keep up on all the fleets.

What does that make me at 282nd, at least I am in the top 300

We'd be happy to have you over, between Charles, Darin, and the rest of us we'll make sure to get you good and liqured up and show you a good time

Fun trip down memory lane! My post-whoring as slowed down markedly in the last year or two, but it's cool to see most of the same characters filling up the board with their stream of consciousness.

Post by **tsmall07** » Jun 20, 2012 7:39 PM

Shannon is embarrassed that I'm top 10.

I haven't been very active for the past several months, this probably contributed to you making it into the top 20. I'm #21.

Honestly, I wasn't too bummed when I dropped of the first page of results. Some of you guys...

It looks like oldskool is about to pop up to the first page, though. He's gaining on rlomba. It must be all those, um vitamins.

I can say that I have met 23 or 24 out of the top 60 posters. I had two of them at my wedding.

(Shawn knows what the beer is for)

And to think I got there since January of 2009; I must need to get out more.

Edit: Looking at that list again made me remember that shagrath (Matt) was once known as stikrz; the stikrz account is still there, unused, but adds another 4108 posts to his name since he joined in '07. That puts him at #10. Not that it matters much, and not that I wanted to dredge up old crap, but thought I'd point that out.

1st 5er · Post by **1st 5er** » Jun 20, 2012 9:48 PM

P.S.

I've met 6 on list #1 and 11 (should've been 12 Dave) on list #2.

You're making me blush. For everyone besides Dave, I think I've worked around the Verizon issue so don't pop the champagne corks just yet

No, it's a Firefox/Photobucket issue

I was told this was a paying gig. All I've gotten so far is a stained La Quinta robe and some free sharpie tattoos.

Great. Now I have guilt.

We'll fix that yet this year, Sherman. Aiming for 4 Corners; if I miss that, then Three Sisters (is that still on?) But then again, Sioux Falls wouldn't be that far off the trail enroute to Toronto or back...

Me too. Of course I also wanted to have been born rich and good looking and I've settled for not being homeless nor making small children cry when they look at me. Or at least not all the time.

ooooohhhh, you're dirty.

(I always felt that the C-word was the dirtiest of the dirty words. It is saved for the most dire hack jobs and hurtful injuries.)
