A new administrative feature from our blog software platform, Soapblox, gives us a simple view of the most active users of Colorado Pols, going back almost to our founding in late 2004 (the Soapblox and imported archives date to mid-2005). We thought you’d enjoy this snapshot of the most active voices in our community over the years:

As we’re proud to note whenever we get the chance, the reason Colorado Pols is the state’s most read and discussed political blog by orders of magnitude is the insightful contributions and lively dialogue from our astute readers–in many cases, political insiders themselves, and others representative of informed opinion from communities around our state. Led by the users you see above, our readers make this site cool: entertaining, educating, and even sometimes correcting the rest of us. Here’s another opportunity to say thanks to all of you.
