100% Nadeox. Back when the leaderboards existed no one even came close to him in message count or likes received. It was most likely due to the fact that at the time he did most of the support and moderation on the forums, thus he posted constantly.
They were useless and people were competing over how many likes and posts they had (which got really spammy). At least that's the reason i believe they gave when they were removed.
speaking of petty competition, I noticed your signature mentions you've recieved the most "agree" ratings, but i've received 59 more than you since then (agentY's recieved 2400 more than either of us, but just ignore that)
I know I'm in peasant numbers, but I'd far prefer a leaderboard and moderation on people gaming the system just to see...
