I know the person with the most posts, by a HUGE margin, was Jeffrey. Back in the days when there was a post count on the right side. I think I was second, but WAY behind Jeffrey. Then I was away for a few years. I doubt anyone has ever caught up to him.
I actually HAVE managed to meet a couple of people from here, at train shows. Once I get building again, anyone is welcome to come over and help. Just call me Tom, as in Sawyer...

Looking back at the oldest posts on the MR Forum, you see a lot of "Anonymous," which means those members have left the Forums and their accounts deactivated. Most of the posts with names still attached are people who haven't been active on the Forums for a long time. The oldest name I could find that I recognized is Gerry Leone, who has been a Forum member since January 2001. Since the oldest posts on the Forum are from February 2001, that's going to be a hard record to beat.

I've been here since 2,003.I usuaslly don't post very much but this looks to be a interesting thread.
Top five by # of post?
Top 5 by # of years they have been members?
Top 5 by how good their layouts and/or modeling skills are?
Top 5 by who is the most obnoxious?
I know we have not heard from V8-Vega for a while or TomikawaTT or a couple of others whose names escape me right now.
The trouble with a forum that has so many geezers on it is when one of them suddenly goes to the roundhouse in the sky, how would we know. While I enjoy the interaction with others that have the same interest, I often think of this cartoon as I have never met in person anyone from the forum.
I do know that I really appreciate all the help I have received over the years from many, not just the top five.

Top 5????
More like top 500!!!
I've been around a couple weeks now, mostly lurking. Nobody knows me but I feel as if I know ALL the top guys 'cause I read the forums religiously.
A lot of the top people have also passed on. Read the forums from as far back as you can and you'll get a sense of some of the fantastic modeling from the past. A few names that come to mind are Wolfgang Dudler, Jeffrey Wimberly, good heavens... I could go on for hours.

I was just wondering who are the top 5 people who have been members of this forum the longest. I've been here 14 years and seen many come and go.
