Er, for those that don't realize it, famed football player Terrell Owens is also a major Legion fan who posts here under the username Thora!

You can do such a list, if you have the time. Meanwhile, here are some other stats that I find interesting:
The range (largest number minus the smallest number): 21,590
Number of posters who have posted more than 100 times in the last month: 13 (32.5 percent)
Aside from the two outliers (cleome and Quis), most of us seem to be clustered around the middle 200s or lower 100s. I don't know if this represents some sort of statistical norm, but it is interesting.
Number of Top 40 members who haven't posted at all in the last month: 8 (20 percent).
One of those, of course, has passed away (Yk). But that also means that there is room for fresh blood in the Top 40, should those "bubbling beneath" the chart increase their posting.

Quis, the #1 poster, has more than double the posts of all other posters except the next five (so from #7 onwards). I, Cobalt Kid ( ), the #2 poster, have more than double the posts of all posters from #12 onwards. And Lash, #3, has double the posts of all posters from #14 onwards. Its amazing how staggering the largest posts can be (and how embarrassing too at times ).
Legion World currently has 519,638 posts in its history. Of that number, the top 10 posters have 31.47% of the posts on Legion World. Even more astounding, the top 5 posters haev 19.43% posts on Legion World. I'd do more, but I'm lazy . Now a lot of that is spread out over 6 and 1/2 years, but its interesting to note how prevalent some voices have been across all things LW. In other words, the opinion of someone regarding an era of the Legion might also be that very same voice creating the opinion on another comic or TV show elsewhere on LW. The top posters are like the major (5) news media corporations!

T posters in the middle of the pack (200s) still averaged less than 10 posts a day. Certainly not an outrageous clip. Clee was the only one to average more than 20 posts a day.

The top half of the list is completely stable this time, while the second half is where all the action is. A lot of this is due to cleome, who effortlessly glides up another six notches to no. 25!
For that matter, of the four posters who move up this month, three are women. In addition to cleome, Stealth climbs a notch to no.33, while Arachne bounces back to no. 38. Just to show that the guys are not totally idle, rickshaw1 leaps two notches to no. 35.
Overall, however, movement on the chart seems to be slowing down. There is a large number of posters who haven't posted at all in the last month, including some long-time regulars. Even among the regulars who have posted, only a few have logged more than 100 posts. Could this be due to end of the year blahs, the absence of a regular Legion comic, or even message board burnout? It will be interesting to see if this trend continues in the months ahead.

Historically, November and most of December is the slowest time ever on Legion World. This has been the case the last several years--I remember the winter of 2004 being one of the most notable lulls ever.

I'm amazed that more than a quarter of the Top Posters haven't posted at all in the past month.

While our Kent is resting on his laurels, Eryk is on the verge of stealing back the no. 5 spot.
