Who is the highest rated player who is a regular in these forums?
Sarg0n?
Is that the highest rated troll?
If 'regular' = 1000s of posts. Then Sargon and Pushwood.

Both are not high rated players here on lichess (not even in the top 1000).
So the question should rather be: "Why are there no high rated players regularly active on these forums?"
I have almost 25 years of experience with posting on chess-forums but I can tell you that I was and still am always pretty lonely as fidemaster. There are good reasons for this.

There's lots of higher rated posters. But there aren't many Masters with over eg. 1000 posts. I'm not saying they are high rated, but they are the highest rated player who post in the forums a lot.

I am 2600 rated here on lichess and don't find it anything extraordinary. So who has a higher rating and is here a regular poster? I am curious as I expect it will be hard to find players. No need for 1000 posts so I would be happy with some accounts having posted at least 100 posts.
Besides it would be interesting to follow such very strong posters. Is there a lichess-feature which allows somebody to subscribe on posts published by a specific player?

If it's only 100 posts then @littleplotkin is probably the highest.
I don't think there is a specific feature like that. Only simply following players and then their messages will often appear on the wall.

He made 1 normal post last year. For another normal post you need to go back already 3 years. The rest of his posts are just results recording for Crazyhouse which has nothing to do with discussions on forums. So I don't count him as an active poster which contributes to discussions here.
So the search goes on ...

Oh ok oops. I will ask my friend who has all the statistics and get back to you and the OP.
