I'm unable to see it in my area due to a thunderstorm.

I'm too close to the equator to see the aurorae.  I missed the last solar eclipse, too.

(BTW: This is my 60,000th post on WrongPlanet.)

CockneyRebel has nearly two posts for every one post Fnord's made. 113 625 in all.

I'd put my money on CR being the most prolific poster here. :nerdy:

Not even close!

There are quite a few in the Sixty thousands. BabyBird has 65 thousand, and Isabella has 69 thousand.

The top poster WAS Cockney Rebel for a LONG stretch of WP history. He is both prolific and has had a long career at it dating from July 2004, but he was outstripped recently by Equestriola. The later only joined in august of '12 but he obviously posts more per unit time than Cockney.

Equestriola is probably the champ ...with almost 137 thousand posts, with Cockney and Auntblabby probably vying for second place (both at just under 114 thousand).

There used to be a way to check that sorta thing. Arrange the list of WP members by...alphabet, or by when they joined, or by the number of their posts. Dont think that you can do that anymore though.

Yeah. Just type "memberlists" into that search bar thing.

Fun fact: Mr. "NuttDan" was the FIRST member! He even predated Alex! Wonder whatever became of him?

it had to have been exceptionally powerful to be visible in kansas city, what with all the city lights polluting the dark skies.

Sane folks wont buy it because of the stigma of wearing "tin foil hats".

So ONLY insane folks will survive this geomagnetic storm! Lol!
