* live627 goes and edits the database "look I am the top spammer with 501k posts"

No, that easter egg was removed in Wedge. Don't know about here though :P

I think I removed it manually.

And... 7000 posts :P

These last 1000 were a bit faster than the ones before them. However, Pete was in a rage last week and managed to start catching up big time. He sent something like 100 posts more than I did this month ;)
So I would estimate that I will be first to 7500, but I definitely no longer have a shot at 10k... And possibly even at 8k, eheh.

You'll beat me to 7500 and probably to 8k but 10k is anyone's guess :P

I think the race to 9k is going to be close and that 10k is totally open :P

OK, I'm curious. I know that post count is one thing, but what happens if you factor in total length of posts in to the equation?

Oh, you're a clear winner then...!

Let me try it...

SELECT e.real_name, sum( length( m.body ) ) AS woot
FROM {db_prefix}messages AS m, {db_prefix}members AS e
WHERE e.id_member = m.id_member
GROUP BY e.id_member
ORDER BY woot DESC
LIMIT 0, 30

It's the change logs that do it, I'm sure...

I don't know, my changelogs are usually smaller than yours.. :P

No, I'd suspect it's due to the amount of quoting I do. Obviously, quotes are taken into account. And I'm not going to create a new table, copy all messages into it, remove quotes recursively and restart the count... I won't! Will I? :P

I don't know, are you? :P Certainly that's a project for a rainy day if that's something you want to pursue...
