Your information was so epic, so unimaginably awesome that everybody else was scared away. I mean, seriously. Your point total is something like three times mine.
Trust me, the reason nobody else is sharing their information is that your number was so towering!
"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
I’ve had a few “bricks” but I think they’ve been from relatively new/infrequent posters who only have 1 spork and sadly, their comment is worth zero points.
I used to get 12 points from OPK (and others) when he/they were rising stars, but now that they’re super novas, those comments are worth 6 points, or, like Charlie Brown at Halloween, “I got a rock.” 😑
[redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.
A spork from devildeac is like manna from Heaven.
And he likely offers a good drink to pair it with in the ymm, beer thread.
Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
This thread includes a lot of discussion about the quality of posts, but how about sheer quantity?
It was a slow weekend, so I spent way too much time browsing through a bunch of DBR profiles and identified many folks who have made 7500+ posts on the current board. Rather than admit that this was a complete waste of time, I though I would try to turn it into a quiz.
Rules:
Rank the top 7 DBR posters from the list below in order of the total number of posts they have made on DBR from 2007 through ~2:30 Monday afternoon.
Do this without looking anything up. We will be on the honor system. Ideally, everyone would make their top 7 list without looking at anyone else's list.
Scoring:
You get 1 point for each poster you correctly list in the top 7.
You get 1 bonus point for each poster you list in the proper position.
Timeline for Entry:
Any entry poster prior to 9 PM tonight will be considered. I will post the results sometime Monday night or Tuesday morning.
Prize:
Sporks, of course.
List (Rank the top 7 from this list in terms of the number of total posts. Apologies to anyone I missed):

Yes, it was DevilDeac in a post on crazietalk. He noticed that we had a spork smiley.

Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
I don't know about bonus points for being a mod, but I think points given by a mod carry more reward AND destruction. I'm pretty sure about the latter, because while it only happened once, and has been a long while, getting flamed by a mod once cost me 50 points, and getting flamed by someone else cost me barely anything. I don't generally follow the points, and until today hadn't even checked in ages (5915, FWIW), I just happened to notice that one time that the dinging knocked me into the proverbial next week.

If anyone hits 9,314 spot on they should be declared the undisputed champion (I can't tell you what I had for lunch yesterday but I can tell you how many seats are in Cameron). If prolific and talented posters such as Jason and Mtn Devil are below 7,000, it will likely be a long time until someone gets there.
