Okay, forgive me for posting an ultimately pointless topic, but I'm at work on Xmas Eve - I'm bored stiff, and there are only about 5 people in the entire building and none at all in my office.

I just needed to pass some time, okay?!

Anyway, it crossed my mind to see who gives the best value in terms of words per post on these forums. So I copied the all-time top 100 posters list into Excel, stuck in a few simple formulas, and it spat the following out the other end.

Remember - this is "value" based simply on words per post - it doesn't in any way vouch for the quality or content of those posts! (I mean, if it did, there's no way Meka would be at number 8... :-)

So, without further ado... ladies and gentlemen of the forums, I present... the 100% unofficial "Special Reserve All-Time Top One Hundred Best Value Posters" list.

Your 28th Mouldy and I think that this is good to know but I wouldn't go by this to try to find quality posts. Like WòókieeMøn§†€® said if it went by quality Meka wouldn't be 8th.

If I post one post with 1000 words in. Then I would be top.

:-P Just saying.

People like RBS and Grix, there word count average will go down because of the replies and quality.. not quantity.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
