Hi ATF,

I've always been interested in statistics (one of the reasons for an interest in poker ofc ). It would be great to see some of the vBulletin stats modules implemented into the forums.
A top posters page via misc.php?do=topposters could display top posters overall/last year/month for example.

Others such as enabling memberlist.php and showgroups.php would be useful. Although it seems the reds prefer not to disclose group lists to regular users for privacy or something?

Anyway, if it's possible to add *any* stats like this or similar, I'd be keen to see it.

I'm probably on the list. At least for 2012.

there was a thread where bobo gave us some $tat$ once

plz don't post most time online stats. tyvm. I might lose to Leo, but not by much.

My posts sparkle like diamonds and are twice as hard.

Number of posts doesn't necessarily equate to quality of poster.

Coincidentally, I consider my posts to be little lumps of coal, so there you go...

We'd need misc.php?do=topposters_everywhere_else and
misc.php?do=topposters_POG.

you might wanna throw SE in there too but i'm not sure.

According to my calculations, love is all you need.

I have quality posts too but the system is against me

FYP

Was really hoping this was going to be a Power Rankings thread.

it would be boring to see me first in $tat$ each month

Yea I found that during my search to see if this topic had been discussed previously. It makes me believe a lot of the stats I mention are available, just not to non-coloured users (or maybe just blues/reds?).

This a long with many others would be what I consider interesting for those who like these types of numbers. Things like highest average posts/day. Longest time between posts. Longest time to make first post. Quickest to Carpel Tunnel. Most posts in a day. Etc, etc. A whole page could be devoted to these categories.

True, but it lets people know who posts a lot regardless of content which is a sign of enthusiasm/interest/time on 2+2.

All of these could be categories to branch out on a statistics-devoted link.
Haha, I've seen other threads which have top 10 lists related to this. However, if "showgroups.php" was enabled for all, at least we could see a list of all mods+ in one area.

LOL. I was actually shocked when I saw your post count over 100k and had previously thought MicroBob held the top poster of all time record. With a topposters link I would easily have known better.

Afaik the only place to get statistical analysis of posts is for a place where posts don't even count.

OMG stats

JMURDER IS A JERKFACE

I've always wondered the "raison d'etre" of the OMG threads. Might need to read through a few I think.
Hi CMAR,
Are you, Mat or anyone able to divulge if stats as described in OP and follow-up ideas are available or implementable? Would love to know if any of this is likely to be added to the forum features. Thx.

I think CMAR is one of the top posters on the forum.

Other nominees for top posters:

Bones
El Diablo

The context of top posters ITT is the total post counts overall/monthly etc. The vBulletin mod can be found here. An example page can be seen here.

Still in

kev.mode is definitely a bottom 5 poster

Bobo, Mike Haven and Rainbow Warrior are the best imo.
