A worthy goal, though by the time I became emperor the point where it guaranteed a place in the top hundred had been passed, because I was still 102 or something similar. So in the future maybe you will be doing the 'Poly 150.

I'm not much for lists as I consider it to be not that much more than ego-boosters for most people. Anyhow it wouldn't hurt to give you some information about me as you considers it to be sad that so little is known about me... Not gonne write a lot as I don't think it's that necissary.

Description:
He came back in February 2001 and stayed till June, debating in the Civilization II and III sections, then, more or less, disappeared from the On Topic. Rarely posts on topic anymore because he doesn't own any of the newer games. However a frequent off topic poster. A fantatical fan of the Championship Manager series. Quite a unconvetional lefty anarchist, more of a realist than an idealist.

DC,

'Tis a very interesting work that you do in quantitative analysis. I just wonder if there isn't a good way to do a more qualitative analysis of the posters here on apolyton.

While the number of posts is important, I think a similar example would be if we ranked countries by the number of people they have. According to the US Census Bureau the order would be: China (1,286,975,468), India (1,049,700,118), United States (290,342,554), Indonesia (234,893,453), Brazil (182,032,604), Pakistan (150,694,740), Russia (144,526,278), Bangladesh (138,448,210), Nigeria (133,881,703), Japan (127,214,499). While the number of people (a quantitative analysis) is interesting, I don't think it truly reflects an actual ranking of the "top" countries in the world.

If only we could implement a sort of qualitative way to look at the users, such as a words per post stat, in combination with the quantitative stat, then I think a more true top 100 would form.

As this top 100 stands, I think it encourages abuse of the forums (which may not be an entirely bad thing).

Just food for thought.

Words per post stats is also quantative data. The description is qualitative information.

After thinking about it last night, you're right Kropotkin. Words per post is a quantitative stat. But I think it has a little more correlation to a top 100 list than does number of posts.

But one should not penalise succinctness.......after all, it is brevity that is the soul of wit, not words per post.

DC, I was thinking, if you are at a loose end and want to do something slightly different to the hall of fame and top 100, you could do a Top # Avatars. People vote for their favourite avatars that various posters have used.

WPP was just one suggestion. It's hard to measure quality (a top 100) in a forum. I just think that there are better ways to measure the quality of members contributions than straight # of posts.

Well, first off (if we go with the words per post idea) I don't think it's possible to do it in any practical way but that's beyond me. Secondly, even the number of words per post can be a crude way to measure as some people are able to put forth quite elaborate ideas and thoughts with fewer words but would get stuck with spammers while some people write on and on about the most pointless detail. Like this one for example.

But that's not the point of the list. Its for the top 100 posters i.e. those with the top 100 post counts, not for the 100 Best posters, i.e. those with the best posts.

Which would be impossible to quantify and rank IMO.

Interesting Idea- I'll think about organizing it

----
And Immortal Wombat is correct that the list is about the people who have spent the most POSTS and therefore likely the most TIME at apolyton It's not supposed to be BEST apolytoners, that's what the Hall of Fame is for

---
Chris- Same difference Although I didn't know you had quite that much power when did you become Co-Admin... and exactly what is your status at FFZ- are you an admin there too... or just a lowly moderator?

---
Adam- also, Mark and Dan do have access to words per post scripts- or at least they should be able to- I know of many vbboards taht measure words per post

BUt since WPP counts QUOTES... and smilies, it's not quite correct either

Ah, maybe it could be more clear when you post the list what it's about. The "Forbes" bit fooled me into thinking the list was an attempt as something more than I thought and as I looked back I saw that other people made the same suggestion of WPP as I made.

Smilies are importaint and express many words with just one image. But quotes...well...

Also knowing this, you could make an apolyton's most verbose 100.

Co-admin when I revived the site, early february.
MBloom owns it, it's direction is basically a mix of several of us, oriented toward Americans, and it is NOT a game site.

I assume you meant Civfanatics in the second part, in that, I am senior moderator of all Colloseum forums, except tech, as well as all other games forum.
Lefty and I decide policy as we see fit, as long as it is not in contrast to the site owner's wishes.

I suppose you could add I am in the poly HoF, and did several well recieved "Faces of Apolyton" interviews.

there's a tiny mistake with my website address. It's

http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/anttinor/index.htm

There's an "n" missing there somewhere, so the addy that's currently there gives a 404.

Why, do you need validation of the fact you have risen from #40 to the dizzying heights of #16?
