I don't know whether I'm part of your 15 or not, but I definitely want my first run at LT to be at official release so as not to spoil my own fun. If I were in Josh's position, I would feel weird handing it out to top posters since that might incentivize post quantity over post quality. We have a really terrific forum (despite our ups and downs and tough spots), and I have the feeling that people do it to contribute for contribution's sake, and because they want to see Limit Theory overflowing with good ideas and rich content. We have thousands of dollars' worth of people's two cents here just because they give a care.BFett wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2018 5:09 pmIf you were to take the top posters from the first page, and were to make the argument that these people should get beta access, well I think these are fitting.

So, looking at this, I'd say there are 15 top posters who I believe have earned beta.
Everyone on that list has been here a long time. It correlates with both time and interest, but if you leave any of us monkeys on here long enough and we'll eventually crack four figures on our post count.
(Besides, Four-Word Story has more of my posts than any other thread, and we all know what kind of quality you get in a thread like that. I didn't check the rest of the folks on this list, but I imagine at least a few of us have a few hundred posts in low-effort off-topic threads.)
