I don't think he meant the wiki lists, just popular user lists in general.

[C.A. Silbereisen]

I see another discussion on "cliques" coming up.

[Nikica]

I'm page 9 if we're talking abut post count but page 5 if you sort the list by "Date Registered".
Yes, I registered one week after the creation of this forum. 

[Oddball]

By "Date Registered" I'm on page 4 I joined in the first week the forum opened and didn't even know. Well I never.

[Paint by Numbers]

I'm on page 148.

We should hold some votes to determine who wins certain categories. Derek would be "Most Sexy" by default, but who knows where we all might fall?

I suggest we have votes pertaining to Most Indie, Most Similar to Cactus Besides Cactus, and Cutest Smile.

[Rob Lach]

I'm in clique. It's pretty indie so you've probably never heard about it.

what, you guys just like to make fun of everything. all he said he wanted was a list of active members, not anything about popularity or cliques or whatever

[Tanner]

geeze, i'm #11!? i feel kind of guilty.

Oh look nerds.

Sorry.

Anyway. An active user list will be constantly changing (relevant for a short period) so the best way to figure it out was already suggested, just become active yourself and see who keeps popping up. Eventually you'll figure out who's active.

I'd be concerned that something else might degenerate into weird popularity contests. What did you have in mind?

Awesome! I'm only on page 3! 

We are both Page Three stunnas.

[DarknessKight]

I'm on page 39 but that may change after this post.

Getting back to the original topic..

I'm not sure how we would even make such a list, considering new people keep coming and old people drop off the face of the planet and such. We already have a introductory thread to see where people are coming from and what their interests are and such.
It seems like the OP wants a similar list as the introductory, except everybody needs to keep updating it with recent information, which sounds weird and impossible.

If you want to see what people have made in the past and such, a lot of people do have personal websites linked to their profile, which is probably your best bet on finding out who people are, and what they have done/are doing. Also there's a lot of stuff in the profiles page like Last Active date, and last posts, posting statistics, etc. I guess we could modify that member list page and add a column for Active Date to sort people's activity, but not sure what that'll do for recognizing people.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what's wrong with just jumping into discussions, and recognizing people because you've bumped into them here and there.

[phubans]

I'm near the top of page 6. I post here pretty sporadically. Perhaps when I make it to page 1, I'll win a Derek Date^TM?

[Nate Kling]

do you mean the wiki, nate? it's not a list of just the popular developers, anyone can be added, and should be, it's just that it just started and we have a lack of editors writing for it, but eventually we'd like to make it as complete as possible. i also don't feel like those listed are exclusively popular ones, there are plenty of unknown developers with articles in the wiki even now.

Yeah I guess now that I understand that it's an open wiki it's a bit better. I can certainly see the benefits of a list though.  I wouldn't even mind a list of popular developers or popular games it's just disheartening I think for a developer who is making games to look at the list (supposedly of all developers) and be like oh, I guess I don't count as an indie developer because I'm not on the list.

[Swattkidd]

But wouldn't you recognize the active members you might run across on the forums while posting...while posting? There is not difference if I see someone on a list and then see them post something, unless the list has to do with spammers or gurus or something.

[LemonScented]

I am an active member. I have been more active over the last couple of months because I have been procrastinating. When I go quiet, you'll all know that it's because I'm doing Important And Groundbreaking Indie Development work, thus making me a more awesome TIGer even though I'll be posting less.

I don't see why a list of "active members" would be useful to anyone except spammers.

[ஒழுக்கின்மை]

there are a lot of very famous indie devs who aren't on that list yet, though. cliffski (gratuitous space battles) is one example. it's really a matter of time and it being a new wiki and having a lack of editors. feel free to add yourself though

[Vino]

Please put me down under "inactive members" as I want to ensure that when I eventually go inactive, the list is not out of date.
