So back in the day, we used to list out who was leading with the most posts. Everyone knows TN and Zendam are at the top of the list, , but I thought it might be fun to add to it.
And, for this first one... I'll list the 27 members with over 2500 posts (as of 1:30am, PST on June 6, 2006). There are 27 of us now. In August of 2001, there was only 2.
(One or two of you might have seen this posted in the Suggestion Box, since I posted where the old thread had been. I belated realized that the old thread was pre-GD, so I moved it. )
I am the coolest, smartest, richest, kindest, most educated, best looking, most successful, most valuable, happiest, most interesting human creature ever posted in QL.
Roger Federer must have been glad that I didn't turn pro. My wife is hot and my kids will be smarter & better looking than yours.
wow, I did not realise I was among the top most-posting-members of QL.
I can only accuse a grand total of three out of my total number of posts of being meaningful, if I was to tell the truth.

And we're very, very pissed off." ~ Tyler Durden, "Fightclub"

Blast! James, when did you pass me? I had a good 100 posts on you for awhile there

too bad we can't lose points for every year we don't participate. I feel like a poseur, I shouldn't be in the top 10 if I haven't posted in years! That honor belongs to those of you who have kept the site vibrant all this time.
Speaking of top posters - anyone know where Jess is these days?

Well, you got secrets and scars you hide Well, you got closets with bones inside Well, that's ok baby, So do I I won't criticize Baby, I'll just share the ride
I know how you feel Rhon, 4800 sounds great as long as you don't realize I've been at over 4000 for the last 3 years or something. Like TN says, it's about quality posts, not quantity of posts-- and there's dozens of people not on this list who contribute quality everyday.
Ah well, the list is just for fun. And, of course, to praise KO.
Mwahahaha. I've been meaning to tell you, Katelyn. But hadn't the heart.
In the end, I chose the park, by the way. I predict a few interesting things to occur today.

I like seeing some of those names...though some of them aren't here anymore.
I post too much. But I have been attempting to make my post more meaningful
"I'm telling you. People come and go in this Forest, and they say, 'It's only Eeyore, so it doesn't count.' They walk to and fro saying, 'Ha ha!' But do they know anything about A? They don't. It's just three sticks to them. But to the Educated - mark this, little Piglet- to the Educated, not meaning Poohs and Piglets, it's a great and glorious A." --Eeyore, The House at Pooh Corner

Yes...but in my defense, my online time has been going to spending time with loved ones and work, so I'll live with your victory

aah, I'm so close! I wish I were still in high school...I spent all my study halls on this website. I miss it Now sadly I have a life!
Woman was created from the rib of man. She was not made from a part of his head to top him, nor was she made from his feet to be trampled on. She was created out of his side to equal him, under his arm to be protected by him and near his heart to be loved.

I tried that Sinister, but it doesn't seem to be accurate. It says I registered 7 months before David, Adam, and Zendam... and Triscodeca registered a year before me.... and some people switched their names.
Interestingly enough, these are the stats infopop throws out as far as the amount of people registered in each year.
1930 people registered in 1999. 2918 in 2000. 4010 in 2001. 8960 in 2002. 6232 in 2003. 2703 in 2004. 1795 in 2005. 1612 in 2006. 1017 in 2007 (so far!).
In also says that 60 of members registered from 99 to 2002 have logged in since the beginning of this year. I'd list them, but as some haven't posted... I'm not sure if it'd be very polite to do so. Hmmmm....
Just noticed this posting, and it brought back memories. I see as I post this that Fair_GwenofAir's post count is 5005, so congratulations to Fair for crashing through the 5000 count level. Way to go! And I want to thank all those on the list for their participation on Quoteland. Everyone who has "hung in there", your dedication is appreciated. I really must share this, I really got a kick out of reading it again (I'd forgotten all about it!). Hope you enjoy. It's at http://forum.quoteland.com/eve/forums?a=tpc&s=586192041&f=207192712&m=1431981691&r=1431981691#1431981691
quote:Ode to the Quotelander My fingers fly as fast as they can To get the answers you need. Sometimes it feels like I've gone out and ran One hundred miles at top speed! But my computer is really pissing me off, It doesn't want to go very fast. I take a deep breath, and I spit and I cough, Because I don't want my answer to be last. My scroll bar at the bottom, how slow it does creep. I wonder if it somehow got cursed. As I look at the screen, I almost go to sleep. But one thought keeps me going: "I have to be first!"
Later: June 7, 2001. Just passed the 5000 post mark and am adding these lines:
Now I've traveled a bit farther down this road Many a desert valley bridge I have crossed This brain is becoming just another part of the load, I think I've taken a wrong turn and now I am lost. There's someone up ahead of me that doesn't turn when I shout. I just passed a milestone marker, it was all faded out, It said, You've come a long way, and though you don't have the most, You just passed over a hurdle and you have 5000 posts.
next passage added 8/21/01
Breaking new ground is a wearisome task, The one I had followed is now back in the past, No greeting exchanged, no questions were asked. All goals have been realized. Thank God! At long last! Setting my bones down now, to take a long deserved rest, I think of my ego, and how I have thought I was the best. What a foolish thought, to think I'm in some sort of contest. A strong force grows behind me as my energy becomes less Than the sound of a feather floating down to the ground. I know that Quoteland will be just fine with me not around. Others will find all the quotes that are asked to be found. Farewells are always sad, like the tears of a clown. But others have lamps from which bright lightness shines, And someday I'll be joined by them, when they post 6000 times.
7000 posts have come and gone. It didn't seem to take too long, Cause all the while I was having fun; There never was a prize to be won. Because of these posts, my fingers hurt, And all I got was this Quoteland t-shirt. Actually, I think the t-shirt is great! I wonder what you get for 1000 x 8?
Well the answer came with no fanfare, "After 7000 posts, we really don't care!" What a relief, I can be a regular guy! The reality is that no matter how hard I try To be modest about this darn posting thing I can't help but feel like some sort of King With an inflated ego becoming drunk with power Throwing down lightning bolts from my ivory tower, The truth of the matter is I am beginning to mellow, And before you know it, I'll be just a regular fellow. So 8000 posts is not really such a big deal, As I thought it would be, do I get a free meal? Now the question is, do I make this a 10K run? Funny thing is, it still feels like I've just begun.
Prisoner of Quoteland My brakes have failed, and I can't seem to stop. Hitting 9000 posts probably seems like a lot, But now that I'm here, I don't feel all that hot. I know other Quotelanders will give it a shot, And others will say, "big deal! ah, so what!" I maybe could celebrate, (wish I had some pot) I'll just have some beers, my favorite gut-rot. Aren't prisoners supposed to get 3 hots and a cot?
The 10K run has been run to the end, Along the way, I made many a friend, They all mean so very much to me, They have helped my eyes to open and see. I tried to see if I could add one more zero, While becoming the brother of a friend and a hero.

Thank you! It's nice to see you 'round these parts, TN. Those poems always make me smile-- I revisit them every once in awhile. D_w also passed a thousand-mark... going over 3000 last month. Congrats,D_w!
