[Mr. Morden]

youngconservative = 35.5 posts per day

If he keeps that rate up forever, he’ll be over 50,000 posts in four years, and possibly in the top 10. 

[Mr. Morden]

Lief now posting at a greater rate than Tender.  Obviously, if that continues, Tender will never catch up.

For that matter, Lief's now posting more than anyone else currently in the top 10.  More than 200 posts in the month of November, which is more than BRTD.

[Mr. Morden]

Two months since Kal's departure, so it seems. Any news on if he will return?

I don't know.  And Xahar seems to have left as well.

[Mr. Morden]

1) BRTD 75,453
2) Al 59,527
3) Lewis 58,763
4) Keystone Phil 52,868
5) opebo 47,527
6) Eraserhead 40,512
7) Kalwejt 40,015
8 ) Xahar 39,151
9) Lief 38,043
10) Tender Branson 37,906

That’s the top 10.  But then we have:

11) Tweed 36,769
12) Grumps 36,758

Grumps just 11 posts away from catching Tweed.

And then there’s…

13) Antonio 35,744
14) Jfern 35,557

Jfern is 187 posts away from catching Antonio.  Since Antonio’s on hiatus, and Jfern’s been posting at a very high rate this year, the latter would appear set to catch up to Antonio within a couple of weeks.  However, didn’t Antonio say that he was going to return in mid-December?  If so, then maybe Jfern will never catch him.

[Mr. Morden]

Grumps has now passed Tweed for 11th place.

RIP AAD 

Well, he does also post on AAD far more than anyone else too. It's not even close.

It really is quite impressive.

I am filled with and inspired by Trump's high energy and love for this soon-to-be-great-again country.

Indeed, by my count, 47 or your 50 last posts on the forum were on either the 2016 presidential election board, or one of the 2016 presidential election polling boards.  So your long term lead over Tender depends on the fate of Trump.  If he wins both the GOP nomination and the general election, then I foresee you racing ahead in the standings, ultimately reaching the top 5.  If not, then Tender catches up to you in 2017, if not earlier.

[Mr. Morden]

Outside the top 10, we have Jfern climbing up the ranks:

13) Antonio 35,744
14) Jfern 35,733

So, Jfern should catch up to Antonio tonight.  Antonio said that he'd be back here on Dec. 15th, but he failed us.

[Mr. Morden]

Jfern passes Antonio:

13) Jfern 35,745
14) Antonio 35,744

[Mr. Morden]

Now that Antonio's back, we are apparently in for an epic clash between him and jfern for 13th place.  Latest:

13) Antonio 35,756
14) jfern 35,755

[Mr. Morden]

1) BRTD 75,635
2) Al 59,639
3) Lewis 58,762
4) Keystone Phil 52,868
5) opebo 47,524
6) Eraserhead 40,741
7) Kalwejt 40,017
8 ) Xahar 39,161
9) Lief 38,584
10) Tender Branson 38,281

Lief's pace has picked up even more as the primaries approach.  More than 350 posts in the last month.  At current pace, he'll pass Xahar for 8th place some time within the next two months.

[Mr. Morden]

1) BRTD 75,722
2) Al 59,671
3) Lewis 58,762
4) Keystone Phil 52,868
5) opebo 47,524
6) Eraserhead 40,870
7) Kalwejt 40,017
8 ) Xahar 39,168
9) Lief 38,842
10) Tender Branson 38,456

Lief's picked up the pace even more.  More than 500 posts in the past month, which means he should catch up to Xahar within the next three weeks.

Still small potatoes compared to Torie though, who has about 800 posts in the last month(!).  Torie's outside the top 10 at the moment, but should crack the top 10 some time this year if he actually keeps this up.

[Mr. Morden]

I might as well note that yesterday (Nevada caucus / South Carolina primary day) there were over 3400 posts on the forum, which may be an all time record.  (I'm too lazy to go back and figure out if that's ever been matched before.)

[Mr. Morden]

1) BRTD 75,949
2) Al 59,755
3) Lewis 58,761
4) Keystone Phil 52,865
5) opebo 47,522
6) Eraserhead 41,079
7) Kalwejt 40,331
8 ) Xahar 39,183
9) Lief 39,104
10) Tender Branson 38,631

Lief will most likely pass Xahar for 8th place at some point within the next two weeks.  Xahar will probably drop out of the top 10 some time within the next 6 months (with Jfern taking his place).  That is, assuming that Xahar continues to post at a very slow pace.  Kal was likewise looking like his days in the top 10 would be numbered for a while, but he’s now back to posting at a very high rate, so he’s not going anywhere any time soon.

In other news, 53,032 posts on the forum so far this month (and it’s only the 27th…still a couple of days to go).  I think that’s our most prolific month ever.  I guess this primary season has inspired quite a bit of activity.

[Mr. Morden]

Lief passes Xahar for 8th place:

1) BRTD 76,025
2) Al 59,823
3) Lewis 58,739
4) Keystone Phil 52,862
5) opebo 47,519
6) Eraserhead 41,168
7) Kalwejt 40,453
8 ) Lief 39,183
9) Xahar 39,179
10) Tender Branson 38,764

[Mr. Morden]

Lief is so awed by Donald Trump's recent victories that he's now going backwards in posts, and has dropped behind Xahar again.  Either Lief has deleted some of his posts or someone else has...

1) BRTD 76,056
2) Al 59,843
3) Lewis 58,715
4) Keystone Phil 52,861
5) opebo 47,162
6) Eraserhead 41,178
7) Kalwejt 40,562
8 ) Xahar 39,171
9) Lief 39,159
10) Tender Branson 38,812

Looks like Lewis and opebo also dropped, so I'm assuming that it's some old thread that got deleted or archived or something.

[Mr. Morden]

Looks like we have a new up-and-comer, and he's rising fast:

In just a few short years, he stands to surpass the progress that even legends like BRTD and Al have made, which took many, many years to achieve. You guys need to step things up a notch before he snatches your glory away!

And now he's gone a few days without logging in at all.  Is he gone forever, or can we look forward to him trying to get back up to ~50 posts a day?

[Mr. Morden]

Lief back up to 8th place.  Also, Kal has been on an incredible tear recently.  It wouldn't surprise me if he catches up to Eraserhead as early as next month.

1) BRTD 76,107
2) Al 59,852
3) Lewis 58,715
4) Keystone Phil 52,861
5) opebo 47,162
6) Eraserhead 41,186
7) Kalwejt 40,723
8 ) Lief 39,189
9) Xahar 39,181
10) Tender Branson 38,841

[Mr. Morden]

Because we’re in this interregnum period between primaries, overall activity on the forum has slowed down a little these past few days.  Yesterday was our slowest day since January (though as a sign of how much things have picked up since last year, it would have qualified as our second most active day in December).  Anyway, updated leaderboard:

1) BRTD 76,267
2) Al 59,918
3) Lewis 58,715
4) Keystone Phil 52,861
5) opebo 47,160
6) Eraserhead 41,307
7) Kalwejt 40,815
8 ) Lief 39,354
9) Xahar 39,192
10) Tender Branson 38,978

11) jfern 37,719
12) Antonio 37,654

Antonio is only 65 posts away from catching up to jfern.  And given how active he’s been recently, he stands a good chance of catching up to him and making it to 11th place within about a week.

Meanwhile, Kal has been posting at an incredibly high rate of late (over 1000 posts in the last month).  Even though he's ~500 posts behind Eraserhead, he could easily catch up within a few weeks if he keeps up his recent pace.

[Mr. Morden]

Antonio passes jfern for 11th place:

1) BRTD 76,318
2) Al 59,935
3) Lewis 58,715
4) Keystone Phil 52,861
5) opebo 47,160
6) Eraserhead 41,309
7) Kalwejt 40,999
8 ) Lief 39,408
9) Xahar 39,192
10) Tender Branson 39,008

11) Antonio 37,789
12) jfern 37,785

Given Antonio’s recent posting rate, he should make it into the top 10 within a few months.  Xahar’s slowed down a lot, so Tender will pass him soon to take 9th, and then Antonio will catch up to Xahar for 10th.

[Mr. Morden]

Oh. Yay, I guess.

I guess it's time we take another leave, right Tony?

Please keep posting. I want to get knocked off of this list ASAP.

Kal will presumably knock you down to 7th place in the very near future.  But to drop out of the top 10 completely....even if you stopped posting completely right now, it would probably take about a year for enough people to catch up to you.  Of course, you can always delete some of your old posts to speed up the process.

[Mr. Morden]

Since Antonio’s taking a break now, jfern has managed to catch back up to him and re-take 11th place:

1) BRTD 76,462
2) Al 59,980
3) Lewis 58,715
4) Keystone Phil 52,861
5) opebo 47,160
6) Eraserhead 41,378
7) Kalwejt 41,270
8 ) Lief 39,493
9) Xahar 39,192
10) Tender Branson 39,133

11) jfern 38,023
12) Antonio 38,022

Looks like Al will soon reach 60,000, while Tender will soon be catching Xahar for 9th place.

[Mr. Morden]

Al hits the 60,000 mark:

1) BRTD 76,487
2) Al 60,003
3) Lewis 58,715
4) Keystone Phil 52,861
5) opebo 47,159
6) Eraserhead 41,408
7) Kalwejt 41,278
8 ) Lief 39,516
9) Xahar 39,192
10) Tender Branson 39,151

[Mr. Morden]

Kal surpasses Eraserhead for 6th place:

1) BRTD 76,527
2) Al 60,031
3) Lewis 58,715
4) Keystone Phil 52,861
5) opebo 47,159
6) Kalwejt 41,414
7) Eraserhead 41,413
8 ) Lief 39,522
9) Xahar 39,192
10) Tender Branson 39,171

[Mr. Morden]

Tender passes Xahar to claim 9th place:

1) BRTD 76,543
2) Al 60,055
3) Lewis 58,715
4) Keystone Phil 52,861
5) opebo 47,159
6) Kalwejt 41,455
7) Eraserhead 41,415
8 ) Lief 39,526
9) Tender Branson 39,193
10) Xahar 39,192

Since Xahar hardly ever posts anymore, his days in the top 10 are numbered.  Jfern will most likely claim his spot at #10 within about 3 months or so.

[Mr. Morden]

Tender has passed Lief to take 8th place:

1) BRTD 76,948
2) Al 60,297
3) Lewis 58,715
4) Keystone Phil 52,860
5) opebo 47,159
6) Kalwejt 42,860
7) Eraserhead 41,682
8 ) Tender Branson 39,651
9) Lief 39,636
10) Xahar 39,210

Again, Xahar’s days in the top 10 are numbered, since he doesn’t post much anymore.  The only question is whether Jfern will be the one to catch up to him first, or if it’ll be Antonio, now that Antonio’s back to posting frequently.

In other news, Donald Trump is good for business.  June was the fifth month in a row that the forum has had more than 45,000 posts.  We’d actually never gone more than three months in a row above 45,000 until this year.
