It's "who".

Who is the greatest poster?
or
To whom are we going to award the title of "greatest poster"?

Quantity does not necessarily mean quality, as I could point out with a number of people. You could easily have a high post count from spamming, rather than intelligent, productive comments.

Edit: I tend to stay away from debates for the most part, these days. I know when to walk away from a thread, and when to use the ignore button, to avoid any temptation for flaming. If I'm gonna post off-topic, I'll include that with an on-topic comment.

Well, as I don't give a damn about post counts. I'll have to post this and vote before I can look at my current post count and edit it in.
Now, I could go look it up elsewhere, but I'm also lazy.

EDIT: Just over 1500.

Usually, I could not care less about grammer. I will let incorrect usage of the words who, me, I etc slide a thousand times. I do know when someone makes a mistake instantly (ESL mother), however, so I just can't take improper usage of whom or myself. Using uncommon words incorrectly is tragic. Stick to what you know.

Post count is an idiotic way to measure who is the greatest. It doesnt measure intelligence, the quality of your posts, your contribution to the forum, your skill at debate. It really doesnt measure anything of any importance. Ive seen people who post infrequently but intelligently. Ive seen others who will sit in the "what are you listening to now" thread and post the title of a song every time the one they were listening to ends and the next one begins. Post count is a useless measure.

NSer with the greatest number of posts is either Roach-Busters, but he left, or Legless Pirates. Depends on whether you think R-B is still applicable or not.

Legless pirates has over 14500 posts, I think. I thought that was the highest current amount of posts by one nation. However, I think that tink managed 10000 posts with the nation fairytinkerbilly and the next one, fairytinkarisen, so she would have had 20,000 posts (had the former not been deated).

That's what you get for editing your posts. I've noticed that the filthy spam bitches don't do that - they just make a new post. And they never delete their posts. And they never answer multiple people in one post, they have to make a separate post for each reply. The bitches!

Legless Pirates has the most posts by an active poster with about 16,000. I am currently second. Had RB not been deleted, he'd be ahead of me as well. Tink would have just over 20,000 had she never had The Fairy Tinkerbelly deleted, and Parratoga would be over 25,000 had she never been deleted. Just a testament to the benefits of not breaking the rules, I suppose.

At any rate, most posts is hardly indicative of greatness. Look at me, for instance.
