I thought they did. I remember seeing YYYH's name when I was browing through the list a few months ago. Maybe it was changed.

Look for Alexanders Horse.

I was looking at the top 20 posters and he wasn't there.

Maybe you should ask Fez for the reason. He'll know it.

Never looked through the posters list until now. One thing that strikes me is that there is a huge difference in the post counts of members generally before and after the OT posts counted.

Trip has actually reached emperor with just on topic posts..........and I expect he would be considerably higher if there was a way to see the effect of removing OT posts that counted from other long time members.

So did I . In the time off-topic posts counted, I made 11 (I think) posts there.

Out of interest do the PTB's have a breakdown of posts by forum? If it was easy to examine might be worth doing.

It's not needed in a public forum.

We keep a list in the private forum

He can change the titles directly through the database.
Besides, who would be silly enough to exploit a loophole like that?

Yeah but I can't see Ming bringing such a fate upon himself..........besides what's a few more 1000's of posts (or a fancy title) when you have like a bazillion already.

Maybe but you'd have to start a thread questioning the ancestry of both to get banned I think.......who else would sift through all those threads every day?
