* Darvi fondly regards his newbie days of 100ppd spamming.

In retrospect I wonder how I got enough stuff to say for so many posts.
The trick is posting regardless of not having anything to say. Or, in GWG's case perhaps, posting in a million forum games using identical magical girl characters.

Toonyman held the postcount record for a while and I recall that it was mainly his mafia / RTD activity.

I'm surprised Toady still holds that record. Some of the people on this forum are nuts with their amount of posting.
Well, GWG accounts for over 1% of all FG&RP posts by himself.

This is a statistic that sounds impressive on the outset, but when I think about it I don't particularly find it to be. In fact I find it so unimpressive that I am fairly sure it's not true.

178877 posts in FGARPing. 1% would be 1788.77 correct? That is not much. A spammer can wrack that up in a few weeks. According to that I personally account for about four and a half percent of that. I am pretty sure that spammers have far far more then me.

I think he means on just that part of the forum, ignoring any posts outside it.  So it's 1788 posts PLUS every single other post he has made.

Yes. I meant that as well. 1% is not much for even a moderate poster over a few years. Let alone a spammer.

And indeed actually doing the math. GWG accounts for 16% of posts in FG&RPing. Like I said, 1% sounds impressive even if it really isn't, which makes it really easy for someone to not do the math correctly and then spread a incorrect rumor. Or I am doing the math wrong and am now currently spreading a incorrect rumor. One of those.

It's additionally become clear that the "Most Popular Boards By Activity" section apparently can't handle the new sub boards. Which is interesting.

I still have no idea how my PPD is as high as it is. I must have been posting a lot early on for it to be 8 or 9 now.

In my childhood, there was a game called Super Putty on the SNES.

Nobody had ever played it. I had never heard anything about it on the internet.

Until today, where I learned that its sequel, Puddy Squad (which I had never heard of until today) was getting remade on PS4, XBox One and Vita... and people who had never played it are just as confused as I am.

Dat conspiracy theory. How deep does this go? Is the US government in on it too?

A few weeks ago it was 1%.
Or maybe that was for the entire forum, I forget.

Likely so. I account for ~1.5% of FG&RP, and I only posted there actively for a short stretch; GWG practically lives in the place.
