So I was poking around in the source HTML for the forum (really pretty stuff by the way) and I came across a cool hidden forum feature. You can bring up a list of how many times people have posted in a certain topic:

General Bullshit Chat:
http://forum.thechem...s&do=who&t=2793

Now Playing:
http://forum.thechem...ts&do=who&t=190

oh my god that's the funny SHLT:
http://forum.thechem...s&do=who&t=1313
you can do any topic you want by taking the topic's code number and pasting it in for t= in the above urls.


Based on these statistics, I present to you





Blabbing Lifetime Achievement Award:
Jeanie

Jeanie scores a whopping 944 posts in General Bullshit Chat! In a fairly close second is Whirly (871) followed by Darkstarexodus (659) and MadPooter (610).


Most Obnoxious About Listening Habits:
Iguanapunk

Iguanapunk wins with a massive total of 1069 in Now Playing, about 80% more than the closest poster, Ben_j, who's logged 641 posts so far. Darkstarexodus is the only one close to these two with 601.


Member With The Funniest Shlt:
Iguanapunk

Iguanapunk wins again with 317 posts, and Ben_j gets second place again with 201. Whirly and ThePumisher also have 167 and 125 posts, and Champiness has a surprising 101 considering his shorter time on the forum.


Hungriest Forum Member:
Darkstarexodus

Darkstarexodus takes the cake with 151 posts in the Now Eating topic, which is twice as much as the nearest poster, Whirly, with 76! Jeanie has a nice total too, 72.


Most Consistently Intoxicated:
Darkstarexodus

Darkstarexodus again who logged an incredible 806 posts in Buzzed Posting (which might explain his win in the Now Eating topic). That's over twice as much as the next most frequent poster, Jeanie, at 307. Whirly's got a decent total of 262, while Iggy doesn't even break the top ten with 26 posts.


Nerdiest Gamer:
Ben_j

No surprise, Ben_j, who's posted 143 times in Favorite Videogame. Iguanapunk brings up second with (112). Both these guys have posted more than twice as much as anyone else.


Couch Potato:
Igunanapunk

In the Now Watching topic, yup, Iguanapunk has posted 93 times, about three times as much as the nearest total, Whirly again at 37. Krisper, Darkstar, and ThePumisher all enjoy their television as well with over 20 posts each.


Biggest Cinema Slut:
Iguanapunk

Again, Iggy wins with 147 in Films You Saw, which is again about three times as much as the nearest posters, MadPooter (49) and ThePumisher (44).


Most Prolific Composer:
Csar

Csar grabs the victory in Post Your Music Here with 176 posts total. Ben_j and chemicalreaction follow close behind with 146 and 134.


That's all I'll do for now. I'm tired and have class in like 6 hours.

Oh, and I found some other hidden things:


Alternate version of the main page:
http://forum.thechem...-root-category/


Two RSS feeds (if anyone uses RSS anymore) for latest posts and latest topics (unformatted):
http://forum.thechem...m-latest-posts/

http://forum.thechem...-latest-topics/

I'm pretty sure we have enough material in Buzzed Posting to write a pretty interesting biography of Darkstar through his 20's.


I'm glad you put this together Whitenoise, this just confirms Iggy is the most shit poster.

rotfl. Ahhhhh, Darkstar. How we miss thee... Same goes for everyone else on here that has fallen silent. ::sigh:: Nostalgia. I hope all our paths are still, nonetheless, extraordinary.

I'll provide the time machine:

You bring the booze.

Aww, lots of those individual pages aren't archived. That's too bad.

Did you know that the Internet Archive is almost literally down the street from me?

hahaha this is brilliant, good work Whitenoise.
@Bosco: troof!

If I could upvote this thread, I would! Nice work there, WhiteNoise!

Impressive...most impressive WN! Ceremony to place at Kodak theater again?

Ha! Where is darkstar at?

The most upsetting part of all of this is that it pinpoints what I am really all about. FML

Cool! From now onwards I will cherry-pick the topics I which I post to increase my chances of winning an award. However, I will be realistic: The aim is a nomination in 2014 and the first award in 2015. I'm clearly in it for the long haul.

Haha cool shit!
Are the Chems playing at the Ceremony? Daft Punk can open for them.

@Whitenoise: Also meant to mention, good work on this. I'm sad that this forum has fallen into the state that it's in, and posts like this help to give it some well-needed and well-deserved meaning.

Now if we can just get some sort of news about some new Chemical Brothers releases...

What do you mean by this?

MadPooter, on 10 October 2013 - 7:25 AM, said:

Yes .. please Chemical HQ, some sort of update would be great.

In this day and age, nobody waits for news to come to them. If you want it go get it! We all know their twitter accounts. We know Ed responds quicker than Tom. I say if all the brothers in the house hold hands, join forces and come together as a brotherhood and ask him nicely he'll give us some sort of update. <BR><BR>
