Yes, I do. It occurs to me that the rules for appearances were in the original thread, which was deleted. Here are my criteria:
-On panel appearance (duh)
-Off panel dialogue
-Partial appearance. This one is iffy, but I usually require around 25% visibility (or a face) AND clarity as to who the character is. Said clarity must exist in the strip itself, not including context from previous strips. Rare exceptions have been made to the visibility requirement, such as when The Boar died and only its hoof was visible, but I generally stick pretty hard to it.
-Flashbacks and fantasy sequences count
-Recurring apparitions that are not real, such as Susan's personality aspects, are counted as "semi-characters"
-Characters with alter-egos (such as Elliot) receive credit for the appearances of those alter-egos, and the alter-egos themselves receive credit as semi-characters
-If two alter-egos appear in the same strip (like Cheerleadra and Heidi, say) they would both receive individual credit, but Elliot would only be counted once
-Different versions of the same character, like Zeus/Jerry, or any alternate universe versions like Beta Tedd or Second Life Ellen, are counted as separate characters
