I’m curious as to how you arrived at the 800 number...Surely you didn’t manually count each post?!
I wrote a little java-routine which looked at the first 14,750 posts and counted the posters. Apart from the 30 banned/suspended, there're another five who seem to be nuked:
renka
danger
jimbriddle
erpapers
sjg2490
capnjim
FWIW, the routine counted 831 posters (incl. Admin...) and the following distribution of the number of posts:
| #posting | #freepers |
|---|---|
| 1 | 279 |
| 2 | 99 |
| 3-4 | 97 |
| 5-8 | 107 |
| 9-16 | 82 |
| 17-32 | 65 |
| 33-64 | 47 |
| 65-128 | 28 |
| 129-256 | 21 |
| 257-512 | 4 |
| 513-1024 | 2 |
