How did you work that out?

I don't really care about whether C&Gs posts count or not, though tbf my post count wouldn't be anywhere near what it is now if they hadn't counted in my first year here

If you do an advanced search, limit the search to you only with the little name box, then limit it to posts, and make it search C&G only.

After thats done, multiply the amount of posts the search shows per page (mine was 25), by the amount of pages you have (mine was 400 and something) and that should give you a rough estimate.

My C&G posts are around 12,000.

xzclkjbgvzxfjl i wanna know how to do this

idc about the posts counting towards post count i just wanna know how many i have in c&g so i can add them myself

[Locke.]

I'm happy with a lower post count so keep up the good work James

NIALL BLOODY EXPLAIN YOU TIT x

I think it's about representing what gets posted on the forum really. Someone who posts exclusively in Chat and Games with the odd post in other forums isn't going to have anywhere near as many posts as someone who only signed up to post about, idk, West Ham United football matches in the Sports forum. But who's the greater contributor? Somebody who signs up only to talk about one thing or somebody who signs up to talk about lots of things - you can argue it doesn't matter, but I think it does.

I meant results. Multiple the number of results it says its found, by the posts per page. :3

I don't know, maybe that isn't totally accurate. The results I can see are all in the 400's when I do it.

[Niall]

Niamh your true post count is 61,203.

Scott, yours is 28,336.

Check Nathans

[Niall]

-checks Nathan's and Eoin's-

[Niall]

Eoin yours is 47,147.

Nathans is 61,359.

Niall, surely that way won't count every post made in each thread, it just shows the threads, so would count as one post per thread?

You can make it search posts instead of threads.

[Niamh.]

Damn him anyway, he's still beating me

[Niall]

I don't think its totally accurate anyway. It apparently found the same amount of results - 495 that is - for Scott and I. So its probably limited in the amount of posts it can dig up.

[King Gizzard]

Wouldn't be accurate for me/most people really, the chat threads where I got 10k+ in each one were deleted

[Marc]

Niall's way doesn't work? I only have 20 pages, but thats because the limit shown is 20 pages, it doesn't go further back

[InOne]

Niall can you check mine please?

[Niall]

Well its as close to the real thing that we have atm, so. Its just a rough estimate.

Sure

Yours would be 41,219.

[Benjamin]

OMFG. I checked and I would have 204,789 posts if C&G counted!

[Shaun]

-thinks you're all BSing-

[Boothy]

I would have 12,429 I think.
