How many high rank members are still active today?

[deisik]

I don't know if this has been asked before and whether there is such statistics at all, but I'm curious how many members of higher ranks (heroes and legendaries of about and above 1,000 of activity) are still active in the forum. By being active I mean they are logging in occasionally (say, once a week) and post something from time to time (say, once a month). My point being that at any given level of activity the number of active users should be diminishing over time due to natural (someone leaving for good, someone passing away) and not so natural (someone getting banned, lol) causes...

Also, who are the top members in terms of activity? theymos has activity of 2,422, is it the highest in the forum?

You could do members search - show all - sort by date registered, and start clicking on profiles to see who's still active. But apparently viewing all members is temporarily disabled.

Theymos probably has the highest activity here, there were only 34 people registered before him, his uid is 35. But possibly there are few older accounts still around. There's SmokeTooMuch, registered Dec 2009, last active 3 weeks ago, but his last post is from Jan 2016, so hard to say whether he's still active.

I am sure there are a lot

Yeah, theymos has the highest activity. For other stats theymos could collect them but probably isn't a priority.

Wow, his user id is 13. It would be interesting to find out as well how much accounts so ancient might cost. Not that I'm particularly interested in buying one (I'm quite happy with what I have), but I gather that they would cost quite a lot, especially those with a post history which made them into heroes or legendaries. Here's the account with user id 1. He didn't post much, though. Still a newbie, lol...

By the way, Satoshi is third (makes an interesting read)

I quite often spot legendary members I'm completely unfamiliar with. I suppose they're dropping in for the first time in a while. Then I never see them again.

Legendary rank means nothing nowadays. There's hundreds of them, including accounts registered for the sole purpose of participation in signature campaigns, they ranked up quite recently.

I agree that legendary is nothing special these days (was it ever, though?). Most of the really old accounts stopped posting a while back and most of the active legendaries are from 2013.

Time for a new rank?

admin at 1500

Yeah!

admin cyrus is not yet in activity 1500, then shouldn't he lose his position? lol that's unfair that anyone would be able to be an admin, how ridiculous.

I have already proposed a new rank, mythical at 1,666 (or 1,777, for that matter). Since these would not post quite often by definition, their rank name would become them perfectly. In this way, unlike other ranks which are awarded based roughly on the user's activity, this rank should be given on the basis of activity/inactivity ratio...

That is, making a post and then disappearing for half a year

that was said before, the admin account with uid=1 is a for test purpose, the "hacked account" satoshi was number 3, dunno/forget who is number 2 since it is deleted, took me a while to find badbear post about this here :

The only posts by admin were test posts, code tags, quotes, etc.

Second post on the forum (included first at the bottom), in the first topic.

It is possible that this id also belongs to satoshi.I assume most early created accounts belong to satoshi and people known to him

The first account was the test admin that I'm guessing comes with every SMF forum.

The second is probably the account made by SMF themselves to set up the forum, as shown a few posts above.

Third is Satoshi.
