Eh, Status updates/VMs have always been pretty active, at least as long as I've been here. I believe I have the most of any member, <a href='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/index.php?/statuses/user/863-noxid/' class='bbc_url' title=''>at least 4800</a>, although the count would probably be a bit higher if we were still on the VB system since this doesn't take replies into account.
You may probably have the most VMs of any member, but I think me and ElecMaw(I made a comment on his profile)share the record for most replies to a single comment, at 57 replies. It's practically a thread at this point. Of course, it's not the most interesting of records, and it's possible I'm wrong about who owns it, but whatever.
I kind of agree that interpersonal (is that even a word?) stuff is slightly more interesting than the actual topics and posts of the forums, and I'm always a bit happier to see status replies and new comments compared to replies to topics in my notifications. Granted, I still post fairly often and all, I just find the domain of profiles more fun.
