How did you originally find out about it? I've never heard of anything like this...

What's the members function? (see above)...

Interesting idea: What if, one person created more than one account, but didn't ever hint that they were the same. They could continuously argue back and forth (although, obviously leave time in between posts) and drive their post-count up. And, only reveal that they were the same person when the count was thought high enough. Heck, who would know if Avatara and I weren't the same person? We joined only a month apart, and almost two years ago.....

(note: I am not in any way trying to suggest that he and I are the same person. I'm not sure who that would be more insulting for Posted Image)

Ty told me about it on IRC.

It's right near the search and profile buttons, it lists all the curent members.

So, from looking at the members thing, you only compare the people who visit Cythera, but the numbers you have are for posts they make anywhere, right? Well, that's a little discriminatory for those of us who are %100 committed to the Cythera boards. Posted Image

No kidding. I shot up about 300 posts in the last 2 months, and I can personaly guantee you that less than 15% of them were on Cythera.

post counts dont matter, and posting about post counts is kinda lame.
