Fuod kept this sort of statistic but unfortunately his site is down or gone.
That's my brother, I sent him an email asking about the site:

Yeah, things didn't work out too well with that. There was a server upgrade and a lot of the data went missing, and the backups didn't have anything recent enough to fall back on. That, along with 50+ hour weeks, travel, and the fact that the site was only getting a handful of hits a month, caused me to just take it down. I really enjoyed working on it while I could, and maybe I'll start over when this contract is finished. If anyone is pissed at me tell them I'm sorry. Also tell them I'll be at the "Real Sports Bar" in Toronto tonight, any thief work their weight will be able to figure out who I am. Anyone that can find me and call me a Taffer will get a free beer.
So there you have it.

Thanks very much for letting us know. I really liked his site and found it very useful and would obviously be really pleased if it came back. And of course we're not pissed at him. :)
I'll remove it from the Links sticky for the time being and hope to put it back sometime. We're (very slowly) working on a bit of a forum reorganisation and I hope that perhaps some of the less well-known threads will get more exposure then.

I'll host anything Thief related on Southquarter, so if Fuod wants a directory of his own, just have him PM me. Complete with FTP access.

I'll see what he can give me, maybe I can put something back together. His contract isn't expected to end until January, so it might be a while.

That's a really cool offer and I'll let him know just in case, but he owns his own domains so hosting isn't an issue.

I loved the statistic that said how many times I was mentioned in Readmes or something like that. :)
It was fun and really interesting to read. But I do understand that it is hard to keep up with something that people don't seem to be aware of, never mind server problems. Note to self: Perhaps we should make some space in the reorganisation for some thread advertising: 'This month's reminder threads' or some such.

Yandros: 22 (3 were co-authored)
cardia1: 21
Christine: 18 (6 were co-authored)
Sensut: 16
John Denison: 13
John D: 12 (3 were co-authored)
William the Taffer: 12
Ricebug: 11 (1 was co-authored)
Haplo: 11
There are a handful of authors who did 10 FMs, which I did not include.
Also, seeing how much Yandros has lent his talents to help other mission designers, me included, you could probably add to that number.

Haplo has 11 too, see (
http://endings.lemonamiga.com/fm/fms.htm) here.
It always bums me out to see that he quit making missions - he put out such great stuff in quantity over such a short period of time. 11 missions in only 2 1/2 years.
Also, darthsLair has to be way over 10.

I agree, and he was great to test for too. I miss that.

He did 11 also, two of them co-authored.
