Ok, inspired by sports and current nostalgic talk of "the good ol' days," I thought it'd be nice to honor old members (who's accounts are still active... sorry Connor and Owl 
) and have our own little Hall of Fame. The biggest criteria is well, no longer being active. Popping in once every 6mo to a year counts as inactivity. I am also looking at highly active members which usually means about 1,000 posts. So lets us begin!
Builders:
Baeleron: Baeleron was the original owner/creator/writer of the Iron Maiden Commentary from 1998-2002 or around that time. The pages original name was "Baeleron's Iron Maiden Commentary." While little of his commentary work remains his great rants are still available in said section of the commentary.
Maverick: Maverick, as stated by LC was co-owner of the Commentary and the Boards until recently. He is now sole owner of the Commentary and everything you read on it is mostly his work. I say mostly, because he renamed the commentary to "THE Iron Maiden Commentary," due to the contribution from many of the old-timer members and other members with great commentary and analysis on the songs and Maiden. Before deleting his account he too was upwards of 5,000 posts and notorious for flaming n00bs.
Class of 2010:
The Ancient Mariner: This man is the Wayne Gretzky of our forum. By far the most prolific poster with 10,216 he also started 28 threads and was most active in the Commentary. AM, benefited greatly from the old forum rules when Spam counted towards your posts, but even so, according to the stats he only had 191 post in the madness forum, while also having 175 in General Discussion and 102 in maiden chat.
He amassed all his posts in a span of 4 years! That's 2554 post a year! His last post being in 2006. While no longer posting, he still stops by every now and then.
Shaman: Shaman is 9th in Posting with 2624 and 3rd in Topics created with 184. He was most active in the Maiden News forum with 148, Maiden Chat with 120 and in the Portuguese forum when it still existed. Shaman also "retired" in 2006.
The Saint Though part of the "News Team," current stats only show he posted 20 items in the news forum. The Saint currently sits 10th on Posts with 2,557 and retired in 2007.
SandMaN: SandMaN was the moderator for the Spanish Forum when it was still around posting 672 times there with the Maiden Chat being his second most active place with 246. He retired in 2007 with 2,199 posts.
Eddie's Lil Helper: Eddie's Lil Helper sits at number 1 in Topics started with 762. He's record is safe for now as the second place, Forostar, "only" has 213. He amasses such a number by starting a lot of the discussions in the News, Metalfans and Tour forums with 634, 211, and 128 posts respectively. He was also the owner of Metal For Life, which got hosted here before it disappeared. And that's why we have those forums here. He retired in 2006 with 1,991 posts.
