250,000? Is that all? It seems like there were some Wacholder threads that were at least that long.
That does seem really low. 25M would be much more impressive.
250,000 comments, 2500 of which read simply "ATM."
One in which you're agreeing with Ben about something you're both wrong on.
That, and its being about cocks, make it absolutely perfect.
God, we've spoiled you people with plenty. How many posts do you think there have been?
Clearly not enough, as some of you are still employed.
How many individual commenters have there been?
One. And let me tell you that keeping track of all of the personae is exhausting.
Okay, that's twice in an hour, LB.
Im in ur brane, preempting ur commentz.
IIRC, it was a little over a year ago that Becks did the breakdown of commenters, comments, and date of first and most recent comments. Any one of you guys feel like doing it again?
I predict I will have fallen off dramatically in rank.

I don't have time for first/last/etc. I have a meetup to get to!
Shit. I really need a job I like better.
11951
Jesus Christ. It's a miracle I still have a job.
Oh, sure, go drink and be convivial with actual human beings.
(Thanks, Becks!)
Yeah, I fell like 11 slots. I don't know, but I think that's probably a good thing.
FIVE people account for 25% of the comments on this site?
Those 5 have beeen here since the beginning, as others come and go.
True. But still... damn.
I'd be curious to see stats just for the last year or so to see how things differ. No idea whether that's technically feasible.
I fell 10 slots or so, thanks to the 5 month period that Unfogged was firewalled at work. I need to catch up.
Somewhat unusually, it doesn't really follow either a power law or exponential distribution well.
Well it doesn't include the lower end of the scale, the Charlie 2.0s and OPINIONATED GRANDMAs. I think it would follow a power law.
29: Actually, no. I've been here just about two years, in terms of heavy commenting. The blog was around for years before me. Which makes it all the scarier.
And people are impersonating me, driving my totals still higher.
29: I haven't been here since the beginning. Also, I was actually banned for a few months.
OTOH, I don't have a job any more. The things I do for you people.
people are impersonating me, driving my totals still higher
Yeah, ditto, only in reverse. There must've been some earlier "Stanley," because I haven't been around nearly long enough to make that list. Ack.
I made partner yesterday. It only took 16 years.
39: It sneaks up on you; I was amazed how high I was on the previous list. (Now, not so much.)
Congrats, Joe O. Now you can have associates comment for you.
Congrats, joeo. Time to start working on your commenting numbers.
how high I was
Yeah, I guess you build up a tolerance to the stuff.
Huzzah, joe o!
I guess you build up a tolerance to the stuff.
Like you wouldn't believe.
Modesto Clown should be higher at #8.
Congrats, Joe. And maybe just a tiny dash of condolences.
About halfway up the four-figures list, ahead of Kotsko, and a number of longtime stahlwarts, after starting in , I think February and being off for most of November. That's a lot.
Adding up Clownaesthesiologist's three personas' numbers, he's actually just in front of SCMTim.
Dadgum, this club is hard to infiltrate.
Patience, Snacky. It just takes time is all.
Time is on my side. I will persist.
At least I have a cool nickname.
Now that you've made partner, joeo, feel like subsidizing me?
Matt and ttaM would also rank higher if their numbers were combined.
HOLY SHIT WHAT AM I DOING WITH ALL THOSE POSTS STOP
But mcmc, "1313" is the name of Univers Zero's best album!
I'm not sure whether I should try to comment more, or I should get another hobby.
My goal for this time next year is to get on that list. Ahead of rob helpy-chalk.
66: And I'm coming for you in '08.
I've had plenty of guys come after me, and I've buried them all. Hobos. Sea captains. Joey Bishop. Don't start what you can't finish.
Oh yeah...I slaughtered the Special Olympics.
I know I'm supposed to have already read the archives from cover to cover, but can anyone point me to where B got banned?
Commenting from work is how I stick it to the man.
can anyone point me to where B got banned?
It was ugly; you should probably just skip it.
I think it was just after Drum's "where are the women bloggers?" thing.
I've been lurking at least intermittently at this blog since I was fifteen. My comments figure is way too small to show up on the list in 20, but I've probably read all of them.
"Them" meaning the comments listed in 20, not my comments (as anyone who's not a little bitch probably figured).
Speaking of little bitches, where the hell is ben?
Hey, language. There are children present.
where the hell is ben?
Seeking truth in parodic manuals. Duh.
He's cleaning my bathroom with a toothbrush. Naked.
Mouse poo in your toothbrush, ben! Steel thyself, lad!
No, the mouse poo is in PK's bathroom.
Then you should have ben clean it while he's at it. I mean, shit.
i won't steal anyone's thunder, but has anyone shared details from tonight's nyc debacle?
84: You can do that one if you like, Stanley.
86: It's a deal, since you went to the trouble to make biscuits for everyone.
Just be careful about the mouse poo in the biscuits.
Ah, but I have the knowledge of the mice blogs…
(Clearly, I'm just padding my numbers at this point. Shameless, I know.)
Which is why I'm warning you ahead of time!
91 to 89. Although shamelessness is worth something, too.
Which is why I'm going to keep pestering you about the threesome with Jackmormon.
Well, JM is pretty cool, and she does smoke good cigarettes.
Oh, is JM female? I'm so bad at this.
Oh, is JM female?
And has a totally stereotypical Mormon name. Made me laugh. (I've never met her, just know it from other means)
Speaking of little bitches, where the hell is ben?
At a concert put on by kzsu, featuring the naïve pop sounds of the Curtains.
95: Well, if you're looking for a boy-boy-girl 3some, then for sure.
98: Whatever's the most comic, really.
And has a totally stereotypical Mormon name. Made me laugh.
Hey!
(It's so true.)
