This post makes 109,569 for me. I am pretty sure there are much higher post counts though.

[alcibiades_mystery]

3. I'd bet you're top ten at least

That's a lot of posts.

[ellenrr]

4. Holy f*ck, Underpants, I've been looking at numbers like 50,000..may I ask

how long you've been on du?

[winstars]

33. I joined at around the same time and am only 108,000 or so behind you!!! WOW!!!

[FSogol]

32. All of you with 100,000+ posts, please follow me. Your intervention is right this way....

[underpants]

34. I was wondering why I recognized so many cars in the parking lot

[alcibiades_mystery]

2. There used to be a poster who welcomed everybody and congratulated people on benchmark

posts (like 1,000; 5,000; etc.). She was up past 100,000 posts if I remember correctly. There was a time here when you couldn't see post numbers, too. It was just more and less than 1,000.

I believe that poster passed away, though I may be mistaken. New Yorker.

5. let's exclude from this count who just post to boost their numbers...

(Not saying that New Yorker was doing that. - sounds like she was being welcoming and warm.)

18. newyawker99 -- and that was back when 100k posts still meant something

Those milestones threads were fun to see, and must have taken a fair amount of work (especially after they switched to the 1000+ format for post counts). She used to remember posters' birthdays, too (well, those who made their birthdays known), and posted a monthly birthday thread.

She certainly helped create a sense of community here.

6. I would put my money on malaise

[Lochloosa]

8. Didn't even occur to me. You are right.

[ellenrr]

9. I thot that she had left. (from the thread acknowledging Nadinbrezinski) nt

[DrDan]

12. putting that in perspective . . . around 10K per year, or over 28 posts per day

day-in and day-out for 13 years

kinda makes one wonder . . . .

[malaise]

[NYC_SKP]

I call her the hostess with the mostest!

[Cha]

23. You are in the lead!

I still think of you as Zidzi! One of these days you'll have to explain the name change to me!

[Cha]

24. It's easy.. zidzi was my daughter's baby nic.. and then in 2008 when Obama won I wanted to be

me! And, I had used her name because it seemed every other name when I first came online in 2002 was taken ..so I looked around my bedroom and there was photo of her.. and I thought.. no one will have that name.

I remember yours.. At first I thought you were in NYC.. but, you 'splained that to me way back in the day.

[Gothmog]

37. Congratulations

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Ahem.

babylonsister is up there, too.

[Dont call me Shirley]

29. Looks like you're way up there, greatauntoftriplets!

[muriel_volestrangler]

17. newyawker99 had 146,593 by mid-2008

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6629203#6631127

Sadly missed. She became ill, and stopped posting, though someone in a relatively recent thread said they think she is still alive. She always welcomed new posters, and was a frequent mod on DU2 (mod discussions happened in a forum, so you end up making a lot of short posts), but she was also just very, very friendly and busy on DU.

[bigwillq]

19. I loved NY99

I miss her.

I hadn't heard that she may be still living. I hope so.

[SoCalDem]

30. I have often wondered about her.. I do miss her as well n/t

[edhopper]

22. Okay

But who has started the most threads?

[Princess Turandot]

35. EFerrari has 163,986 posts...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=158881

despite not having posted in 2.5 years.

[ellenrr]

36. so the question is - does the most posts receive a prize, or a kick in the pants -

to make them go outside and play in nature?

[Blue_In_AK]

38. California Peggy has quite a few.

112,699 at last count.

[pinboy3niner]

39. Does that include all her 4-letter word posts?
