I've just made this game up, so bear with me if it needs some refining. It's vaguely inspired by my Profanity thread and a kind of reverse Googlewhack.

Basically, you have to use A2K's Search facility to find the combination of a word and an A2K member which returns the highest number of hits (as posts, not topics). Enter your choice of word in the keyword box (top) and the A2Ker's name in the author box (lower).

Rules

1) Very common words like "and" or "the" will obviously win, and so are disallowed. Judge's decision is final!
2) You can't search your own posts, as this makes it too easy.
3) Plurals count, but please show them seperately and I'll add them up.

BBB storms to the top of the league - good work!

G - just put the word in the top box and the member's name in "author" underneath. Check that "view results as" is set to posts, not topics. Happy hunting!

Ah. Sorry BBB if I'm messing you around here. I've got a feeling that I'll have to stop people from searching their own posts, as you'd have a much better idea of what to look for in your own posts, and so it might be too easy. What do you think? Or I am being daft?

Ah Set. I've done something to upset you? I figured you'd not mind. Guess I was wrong. I'll take you out of the examples.

No, Boss, not at all, i was just amused by your request that folks: "Go to Politics if you want to abuse someone." . . . that forum has a well-deserved reputation for incivility . . .

You got me there Set! It'd be an honour to put you back up. This is about the 8th time I've misunderstood your sense of humour. I'd better stop!

ehBeth - that's a good one. I've got to be a sod though and enforce my (unfortunately newly-created) rule about searching your own posts. Sorry! Embarrassed
