Ha, reminded me of this for some reason:
Not that I'm implying anything or owt

To be honest, I'm a bit surprised I'm not on that list from all the lurking. Any chance you could check my profile for this bit of information?
You've read 5194 unique topics. To get into the top 200, you need ~8500.
It'd be kind of cool to make this stat available all the time, but it'd immediately become worthless because it's so easy to artificially inflate...
Ye more stats would be good what ever stats we have would be better if they were public.
I wonder if theymos would be annoyed if everyone started asking for their individual stats.
Maybe it could be added with an asterisk or something saying 'Warning : Not an actual indicator of forum activity' or something ?
Without anyone knowing it , it seems to be a pretty good indicator.
Lurker status confirmed.
You can use a more positive term , since you are a global moderator.
You are not that creepy lurker who knows what everyone is saying at all times while never uttering a word, but the benevolent overseer who keeps peace across the forums , the silent guy with the banhammer.

My way of browsing the forum is via "Recent Unread Topics". I click on a bunch of threads within a few seconds, then I read them all. Go to another RUT page, repeat. This throttling would deflate my stats (not that I care!) and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
You're not. I once got IP-banned for opening so many threads simultaneously that I was mistaken for a DOS attacker. That's why I'm not surprised to be the #1 non-mod thread-reader. 
As far modifying the stat, maybe make it where it only counts 1 unique thread per minute or so? This way, someone can't just go through a bunch of pages and center click on them all.

Here are the users who have visited the greatest number of distinct topics (in descending order). malevolent has visited about 50,000, while Phinnaeus Gage has visited about 15,000. (The forum keeps track of the last post you've read in every topic that you've visited, which allows me to figure this out.)

<3 theymos.
I drew three conclusions:-
If there is any topic , there is a one in six chance that malevolent has gone through the topic already.
Most posts on the top pages would have been read by multiple moderators already. If a post falls in the ethical grey area , it is not report worthy unless it is relatively new.
Phin is one of those people who can't keep their mouth shut in real life and just say whatever first comes to their mind.. He has almost 1.4 posts per topic visited. That implies that he posts on almost every topic that he has ever checked and multiple times on many.

. Even more than Phinn. .Back on topic, maybe this could be added to the Stats page.

Thanks for the info! As far modifying the stat, maybe make it where it only counts 1 unique thread per minute or so? This way, someone can't just go through a bunch of pages and center click on them all.
Then again, that's over complicating something for a non-functional feature.

Thanks theymos for the stats.
It seems our mods have been actively checking different threads. Thanks as well.

Forum posts read? You mean how many posts the user has viewed/read or how many people have read/seen their posts? There would be no way to tell either way. The most posts read would probably correlate to time logged in though maybe.
We can (and have) calculated this for posts, but not reads.950th post! Yay!
What's really the point? It would automatically be PG. Every post he has, he had to revisit the topic, and, other posts. I don't even think Vod is in the top ten for posts.
Whose would be the highest ?
Phinnaeus Gage seems like a good guess because he has the largest post count (IIRC) , Vod seems to be everywhere , but more than that , what about the Moderators and Global Mods and Admins. It is their job to look at as many posts.
So , come speculate with me. Please refrain from a single username , try to tell me why you think so.
EDIT: If it is not clear , I mean an indicator showing the total percentage of posts read out of the total posts on the forums.

I don't understand why would you want this, post count Is already an indicator of this I think, and you can't really tell If a person read the thread or he just clicked It and backed In 2 seconds. Seems a strange and useless idea for me
This is not a suggestion.
I just wanted to speculate who would have read the most posts on the forum.
Shouldn't this be here?: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0
