No. However, I did see the list of 13. 11 of the 13 currently post. Several of the legends are identified in this thread:

Congrats on passing the BIG 70 (over 70,000 posts, that is).

Are you the first? I would think so but I don't know the list of 11 or 13.

I thought doc was the first Posting Legend in terms of the 40k count. I'm not sure of the members' post count accuracy -- so I have no clue about who is the first FTer to post 70k times. [I've probably posted more than my profile post count publicly indicates to the average FTer, but I'm not about to have staff manually count all my posts and check out my keystroke and browser logs to know how accurate/inaccurate even this sentence is.] My projection is that we have 16 to 20 40k+ posters by year end. I have no doubt that post count and posting titles are not going to make or break this place, just as I have no doubt that things which aren't broken don't need to get fixed -- that is why I am a supporter of the status quo when it comes to post counts and post count titles.

I've added a wiki to http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/commu...ng-legend.html; so far I have 10 FTPLs & 2 members within striking distance.

Thanks. I just noticed it and clicked to check post counts on a few people. IIRC there's someone (sbm12) at about 65,000 and a few others more or less at 50,000 but no one close to GUWonder's 70,000.

Noticed spiff is not listed as a Posting Legend either in the wiki or in his title, despite having 53,497 posts.

Probably because he moderates a non-existent forum.

(With this addition, we're at 12 FTPLs listed.)

How'd I miss that? I swear I looked that list up and down like 4 times and Jenbel wasn't on it.

szg used to be a FT posting legend but must have gotten hit by the OMNI changes. (Edit: Though I see that was discussed back on page 15?) I'm afraid I can't find any more...

So now we have all of them, thirteen Legends, right?

I hope someone additional crosses the threshold soon as 13 is considered an unlucky number by some. (No, I don't think we should have stopped at 8 or tried to get to 88 fast.)

Congrats to javabytes for finding the missing link fast. Maybe he should get a prize for FT research skills.

Mods have their moderated fora display instead of any posting title.
