Most of the top 25 posters have Elite or Guru status and probably the members you were referring to. By commenting that quality post aren't necessary to reached the top 25, I may have offended one or two of the top 25 but that wasn't my intention. When you posted the list, I saw one name that I knew for a fact hadn't posted or even logged into LP in over 5 years and I thought about another member whose intention were to become a top 25 poster by posting thousands of frivolous, redundant, and one...

Thank you Blackie for the acknowledgement and I hope that the majority of my posts are considered qualitative helpful. There are those who don't have a lot of posts, but what they have posted has been HIGHLY helpful in the past and will be in the future. 99% of us on here are posting to try to help 100% of get some of that money, not just donate.

Good Luck today and every day!

Maybe posting that list was a thanks to those on that list Raven. Wouldn't have posted it if I knew this would be the responses. I think I'll just stick to posting numbers and forget discussion pages .

What did you expect with this type of thread? It's one thing to be curious about the Top 25 and View the List: It's another to Copy Paste the List into the Forums

Didnt say quantity outweighs quality Stack . More like the other way around :

Doesn't mean the top 25 has helped a lot of people . Just means they ( we ) have posted a lot of numbers , comments , etc. Those that are in the Elite Status are the ones that do most helping and post quality posts that do help others .

I'll agree to disagree on your opinion the quantity of posts outweighs the quality of posts.

As for birthday greetings and a thank you, as I just reminded karinda, I already said in this topic I'm not saying congrats and birthday greetings aren't an important part of LP, but if that's all members had to offer, this would quickly become a boring place .

I guess I'm not sure what your point is.

I thought my point was clear when I said, I'm not saying congrats and birthday greetings aren't an important part of LP, but if that's all members had to offer, this would quickly become a boring place . And my opinion was clear when I said, Some of the top 25 have the same less status (Senior Veteran) as me and while I'm sure they all contribute, personally I believe those holding an Elite status and not in the top 25 deserve as much credit, if not m...

Didn't mean to start a war here . Was just wondering who the top 25 were and posted it in case others have been wondering . Happy Birthdays and thank you messages are important . I don't know about the rest of the members but if i'm around on my birthday , I can't wait to see if anyone sent birthday wishes here. yes I do get many birthday wishes elsewhere but it's also nice to see it here on LP .

I do know that most all of the top 25 do spend hours each day posting their thoughts and they sh... [ More ]

So what do you suggest that LP members do? Send those messages privately? What's protocol here? I haven't had the time or inclination to look for it. I can't speak for anyone else, but I can speak for myself; when I've wished people Happy Birthday and said Thank You to all of the folks, especially those who I KNOW spend hours providing useful information, my messages are sincere. I could care less what my post count is. Todd could reset it to zero for all I care.

She wasn't left out Pepper . She has olny made 4055 posts . Most of the top 25 posters have 1200 and to 51000 posts (51 being Todd ) .

Doesn't mean the top 25 has helped alot of people . Just means they ( we ) have posted alot of numbers , comments , etc. Those that are in the Elite Status are the ones that do most helping and post quality posts that do help others . Perhaps she will make that list one day . Right now her status is the same as yours , advanced. Good luck to both of you... [ More ]

Thanks Todd , I remember her posting them , in fact I think thats where I first heard the word VTracs.

Todd — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 02:25:20 GMT

What's amazing and great is that most of the people in the top 25 are still actively posting every day. I do miss seeing tntea's posts though. She was one of the early champions of VTracs here, and wrote several excellent tutorials. (To find them, go to my Favorites page and scroll the bottom -- they are shown in the Favorite Blog Entries section.

What ever happened to that member?

I can only assume because his posts resembled spam he was ask not to post the same thing over and over again. And since they seemed incapable of joining any discussion, they probably just stopped posting.

they ran out of things to say and they didn't join just to congratulate other players on their wins.

Had I echoed congratulations to unknown winners, Happy Birthdays, or posted a I'll look into that in the System Forum every time I logged into LP,... [ More ]

Yes Stack , Holding an Elite Status is deserving of much credit but the way I understand it , holding elite status doesn't have anything to do with how many posts one puts on here but rather how helpful the posts are to other members . There are many folks on here that are very helpful and I'm sure they deserve a big thank you also . Thanks to those for the hard work and helpful posts . That is why this is such a great site.

Stack47 — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 02:36:43 GMT

That adds up to about 26 post per day and considering he is helping others that is quite an accomplishment. Probably because I don't post in the same forums or read the blogs, I don't see all of the top 25 posters.

Some of the top 25 have the same status (Senior) as me and while I'm sure they all contribute, personally I believe those holding an Elite status and not in the top 25 deserve as much credit, if not more.

Maybe I should have added that most all of these Top 25 spend many hours of their time each day trying to help others in this game . I dont think it is all the words Congratulations that get them into the top 25 . I'm sure I can just go ahead and figure out what I want to play for a certain draw and just play it without posting what I like . The idea for me is to help others by suggesting what may win and let the readers deciede or compare to my thoughts . The top 25 to me has put a lot of time... [ More ]

What ever happened to that member? Members like that seldom hang around long enough to accomplish their goal because if they don't really enjoy playing and discussing lotteries, posting gets boring after a while.

Only a few of the members that were posting when I joined even post any more, they ran out of things to say and they didn't join just to congratulate other players on their wins. Even goose from China who joined using several alienists to post pages of numbers and other non-sense fi... [ More ]

A few years ago we had a member that set a goal to become a top 25 poster . They posted the same message, congrats to the winner, I hope they come forward to take the cash option at least 100 times. I was reminded of that when I saw a John Dewey quote on another thread; There is all the difference in the world between having something to say and having to say something.

It takes 962 posts to be in the top 400 so lots of members have quite a bit to say.
