UKMIX Weekly Top Posters - 22 May 2023 to 29 May 2023

[Wayne]

I've been wanting to run this for a while, was just concerned about the time it takes to do this but think I've managed to get it down to a couple of hours compiling time, which I'm happy with.

The monitoring period will be Saturday to Saturday and will include all posters that have made 100 posts or more so it'll be about as comprehensive as we'll get!

I'll stay away from forums data as that's leomedar's area (view his fabulous Hot 100 here) but will hope to cover off more data once we've had a couple of weeks!

I'll only publish the top 25 (unless there's enough interest to publish more) but I'll happily reveal anyone's position outside of the top 25 if they want to know it - just ask in here! Some really interesting insights to be had!

I'll publish the first chart later tonight!

Oh, interesting idea. Leomedar's Hot 100 has become one of my favorite topics on here so i'm really liking this idea of having a weekly Top Poster chart too. I just hope it doesn't end up with people trying to post as much as possible simply to charting as high as possible.

Usual rules will apply - I think we're a good bunch here and most of our discussion is worthwhile so I hope this doesn't happen (it's certainly not designed to drive that, though I do hope it does help drive discussion in a constructive way - love what leomedar does with his Hot 100 and I think that really helps)!

[JSparksFan]

Ah, this will be fun!

After years of being accused of being a spammer, I'm not even sure I'll make tonight's Top 25.

[Leo]

I LOVE this! And thank you for the kind words!

[Leo]

It will be funny to find names that probably only post in the Mariah thread making the top 10

I never get to post 100 post a week

[Wayne]

First thing you'll notice is a slightly longer monitoring period for the first chart (of 10 days instead of 7) - this is because the first time I collated the data was Wednesday 13th September. The cut off was midday today - going forward, the monitoring periods will be 7 days.

Headlines

• Over 900 people signed into their UKMIX accounts last week (906 to be specific). [/*:m:1tf8nbl8]
• Of the 906 people that signed in, 431 of them posted.[/*:m:1tf8nbl8]
• In total, there were more than 8,000 posts made by the 431 posters included in this week's list.[/*:m:1tf8nbl8]

Talking Points

• With a sum total that is more than double the #2 poster, Nippian93 is your inaugural top poster having made a whopping 469 posts! In terms of milestone's, Nippian's next milestone is the big 30k - at this current rate, he'll reach that in just under 12 weeks time!#
  [/*:m:1tf8nbl8]
• At #2, we have a poster who has recently really started to have a positive impact on UKMIX, posting across the whole forum - BlueScorpion! With 215 posts, he is just 2 posts clear of UKMIX charts icon Borderwolf (213 posts) who posts almost exclusively in our Chart Analysis forums!
  [/*:m:1tf8nbl8]
• Just behind borderwolf, we have this week's highest rank moderator biscuits (210 posts) - on the subject of moderators, we have 5 feature in the top 25: biscuits (#4), Wayne (#6 - 199 posts), stevyy (#8 - 154 posts), Thriller (#10 - 135 posts) & Benjamin (#24 - 77 posts).
  [/*:m:1tf8nbl8]
• It's only right that we mention the Mariah fans, given they are responsible for the #1 topic at UKMIX each week - in this week's chart, they rank as follows: Shaka (#5 - 204 posts), RayRay (#18 - 90 posts) & himc15 (#23 - 78 posts).
  [/*:m:1tf8nbl8]
• Unless I'm mistaken, Gravity is this week's highest ranked female (and possibly the only ranked female in the top 25) - ranking at #13, with 106 posts! She is very close to climbing into the UKMIX all-time top 250 posters, with just 70 posts fewer than the current #250 LonelyDreamer!
  [/*:m:1tf8nbl8]
• A big shout-out to trebor this week - with his 103 posts, he zooms past the 10k mark (the 156th poster to achieve this, ranking #155 in the all-time ranks) and achieves LEGEND status here at UKMIX![/*:m:1tf8nbl8]

This Week's Milestones

• Noahh - 30,000[/*:m:1tf8nbl8]
• GetBack - 27,000[/*:m:1tf8nbl8]

I was not expecting to se my name.

Where is CrazyCrazy? He would have been top10 in the past! Where did he chart?

Amazing info Wayne, liked a lot the Headlines and the Milestones! Let's see when I cross the 10K mark.

Nippi will be like the Mariah thread oin my hot100? Good job Nippian! I like you around a lot!

Thanks Wayne for this!

[toni_pest]

[Wayne]

Where is CrazyCrazy? He would have been top10 in the past! Where did he chart?

Billy ranked #58 with 40 posts - you're right, a lot less than what he has typically done in the past.

im not even sure if i posted in the last 10 days

You ranked #169 with 9 posts.

[Thriller]

Hold on, what's the post quota these days?! I think the last time I knew it was 200 a week? Nippian needs a job

Great idea Wayne, it's good to see who is actually active these days!

[Wayne]

I think it's still 250 posts in 5 days isn't it?

But phenomenal effort, no question - I didn't think anyone was posting at that level!

[Erotica]

Surprised to see myself there ^^

[stevyy]

Thanks Guys and yes, it is 250 per 5 days.

No surprise at #1. Congrats Nippian. He'll most likely be for this what the Mariah Carey topic is for the Hot 100

Like most of my faves I'll be lucky if I trouble the top 40.
