OK, this is absolutely insane and i clearly am not getting much done today at work. here we go...
DD currently has 14,736 posts. from his join date till now he is averaging 15.2 posts per day. 5548/year.
RickO has 85,854 posts. from his join date till now he is averaging 11.34 posts/day and 4139/year.
So...to make up the difference of 71,118 posts, DD will be equal with RickO's post total in 50.47 years. the next day he will pull ahead by 4 posts.
now, keep in mind, these numbers are extrapolated out for their entire forum careers. I do not know if RickO for instance posted at a higher or lower rate early in his career.
oh boy... DD, I dont know how old you are, but you need to kick it up a notch to become number one before we all croak!!
Ok Craig, I have been here for 2 years and this is my 57th comment, can you do the math on how long it will take me to catch RickoO? I really think I have a shot!
well... you are averaging about .076 comments/day and around 2.375 a month. you have to work your way up to at least 12 comments/day to be able to ever catch RickO.
but... in order to get yourself to 85000 comments posting at your current rate, you will need to post through the year 5003.

I've been a member for just 4 and a half years. I check the box on the sign in page to keep me logged in, and I mostly use my smart phone to access this forum throughout the day , along with the card forum and the registry forum, using shortcut icons on my phone's home screen. I don't know how the CU tallies "VISITS", and even though I've missed considerable time over stretches, I've yet to see anyone, including Ricko or any of you other 5 digit posters come within shouting distance of me and my 18,000+ visits. I'm like Jerry Rice and receiving yards/touchdowns or Nolan Ryan and strikeouts or Cy Young and wins, etc. Everyone else is just striving for second place. You're never catching me, especially since I'm still active and in the prime of my career. I'll let Craig do the math, but I think 20,000 visits is certainly attainable for me by the end of this year. I'm just looking at all y'all in my rearview!
Count- you're in my hall of fame just for the 75 uncut Brett, Yount sheet alone.
And I love the Trout strikeout posts as well.

Okay as usual my memory is incorrect.
Winpitcher has a little less than 28,000 posts, I was thinking it was closer to 50K.
Steve was his name, he was a combination of smart, nice, yet a cranky old man at times. He had a great collection of 1963 Mars Attacks if I remember correctly, he was one of the only collectors I knew that had that set for some reason
perk thanks I did not recall he collected Mars Attacks cards. Those things go for really good money
in higher grades. Some of them are kind of gory but some are pretty cool looking.
Good call Ralph! He was genuinely one of the nicest guys here, not sure if he still posts in the card forum but he rarely made any appearances over here. Too volatile for a guy like him lol
Mike is still around and still a great guy. First ballot for sure.

What’s the stance on PEDs?
Unrelated question, since we’re on a message board arguing sports and pop culture, are beer and marijuana considered PEDs?
Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?

And DD, that new avatar of yours is simply outstanding. You look just like I envisioned you!!! LOL
