Top 50 Posters Extrapolated, January 2024

[GGJstudios]

@chown33, thank you for all the work that you and your friends - the Tables, Projectors and Graphs - have done to keep this entertaining list going! In many cases, this list has provided more enjoyment than new Apple product announcements! We really appreciate the time and effort you've invested! Here's hoping the baton gets passed to someone equally diligent.

The stats shows no posts for Mr. Anderson, but in fact he posted on July 5 last year, which should have been just within the 6-month cutoff date through January 3. So let's give him credit for still being active.

You're right! My mistake. No wonder he didn't have a post count this time.

One thing that can cause a false "no posts" count is thread deletions.

In the "Fun With Graphs" post from July 2023, showing "Graphs of the Ancients", some graphed post-counts are negative.

Fun With Graphs Welcome to the final "Fun With Graphs", or "Finale With Graphs". We'll see some graphs of things other than the usual semi-annual and weekly posts. Top 50 Changes: Details The graph shows the Top 13, rather than the usual Top 10. This is so we can see @I7guy and...

The tables treat zero or negative as "no posts", so it's conceivable that someone could make a post, but due to thread deletions (perhaps involving older posts), the account can appear as "inactive".

I think?

It’s the name of some dragon boss in the baldur’s gate 2 expansion. I am notoriously bad with coming up with names, needed a login ID to register, and this one just popped into mind.

If you see another abazigal elsewhere (ars, theverge, Macstories discord), that’s me.
