Who has the smallest member number?

[Jarmo]

Ok, so the reason I'm curious is that I haven't seen a single user with a smaller number than mine. (except for BTS, who happen to have the 42 :D )

Was there ever a number 1?

Did all the good ole members crash themselves in the frenzies?

[Mark IV]

Berli, show the man your member.

[davidh]

Is there any way to know what a person's member number is other than making an empty post like this? ;)

Hehe, nope! And my member is bigger than yours! :D

[Wilhammer]

Yep.

The lowest member number is 2.

member: 007

[aka_tom_w]

I'm 1515 now

BUT I used to be a LOW number less than 1000 until I had to reregister because I corrupted my user profile by attempting to FORCE a post when the server was crashing or crashed or was acting up.

So I had to re-register and loose my LOW number, OH well, 1515 is still "sort-of " low smile.gif

Oh no,

How did your member get numbered?

Does it have to be numbered? Will I get in trouble if mine is unnumbered?

The measuring of members is a time-honered bonding experience between men.
This is most commonly done between those who have a 'Junior Member' attached to them, but among those with a full 'Member' a somewhat more discreet observation method is often employed. ;)

[Jarmo]

Doh. I should have known to check the pool first.

So I don't have the smallest member after all.
Kind of a relief..

So Berli has been here for longer than BTS.. figures. smile.gif

[Berlichtingen]

You can search by member number... I didn't find a number one, but there are numbers lower than 40

[Mattias]

Just out of curiosity Berlichtingen, how come you have such a low number but has "only" been registered since 11-22-99?

Is it the forum crashes or have you had yours surgically "diminished"?

How 'bout this member?

Bastables is the lowest I've seen.

Notice how the lowest numbers also end up in the Pool?

[mike8g]

Member number one is the default administrator when setting up the board.

My theory is that the member number has nothing to do with registration date... it is an indication of how far one has sunk into depravity :D

[MrSpkr]

I really never thought I would see a thread full of people comparing members to see whose was smallest.

<----

Actually I have a theory that all of us that were pre-ultimate bulletain board system were listed as having signed on on the first date, so were just numbered alphabetically. If you look, I actually have a lower number than BTS itself... ;)

Oh, and if you want to know your number without posting, just do a search for your previous posts - it'll show up there.

[Skipper]

> Member number one if the default

Just 1?!! :rolleyes: Hmm... Compared to mine, that's REALLY short member.

Arrgh... should have known better than posting on THIS thread. smile.gif

Hmmm, 1252 isn't bad. Maybe BTS could hold a lottery or somefink to see who gets member #1.

[Dalton]

Just HAD to find out how big my member number is...

One of these days I'll have to stop lurking and jump in the Pool, to drop the "junior" tag!

My member isn't the biggest or smallest, but it's definitely the most interesting.

For a second I thought it said "Who has the smallest member?" Nevermind...

I never thought about it. Hell what is my number. Let's see.

This is the old resurrected Username. Theres also *Username* after one of the crashes. But I am thinking of changing to "The Username formerly known as *Username*"...or maybe "Suddenly Username"..

[109 Gustav]

Oh yeah, I was wondering why you dropped the *s.

Are you now "The knights who formerly said username?"

But surely there can be only 1??!! redface.gif :eek: tongue.gif :rolleyes:

Ooops, never mind. Wrong topic..

[Elvis]

There was no number 1 in the search I just did but there was a numer 2..007 was his handle..haven't seen him in a long time...It had Fionn as 1049. He was posted well before I stopped lurking.

[harpooner]

It's not the size of your number, it's the motion in your harpoon.

[von Lucke]

It's not the size of yr member number, but what you do with it that counts...

PS: I'm in the same boat as "aka_tom_w": Had to re-register twice thanks to the Great Board Outage of '99 --- and the even more infamous "Night of the Refreshing Monkeys".

I send Charles/Steve some wine (Pinotage in fact) some time ago - for reasons given elsewhere. In exchange after tasting the wine and being very impressed with the unique cultivar, Charles has send me the registration number - that is #1.

I have decided to put it up for bidding here in the forum. No, don't look at me 2000+ number under my name on the left hand side. I'm not THAT important and self indulgent to ascribe the #1 to my name. Yet.

Starting at a bid of $1.00 for reg. #1 - any offers?

Took a trip down memory lane (a.k.a search) and released that my first post came in a thread where Steve reported that the -first- day of vehicle building was done smile.gif

I can still hear my tender little voice, eyes firmly fixed on my shoes, uttering the words...


"HVSS stands for Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension. This suspension type replaced the vertical volute spring type and was used in later models of the M4 tank.

However, as all M4A3s armed with the 76mm gun (Sherman IVA in UK service) were fitted with wet stowage, it is true to say that a M4A3 (76) HVSS was less likely to brew up. No thanks to the suspension though."


Oh, how the time has passed since those days of adolescence smile.gif

In our collective ignorance, we have ignored the lowest number, 0.

And that honor belongs to Mike D.

When looking for his email, this message popped up.

"No member profile found for member number"

Now that is one insult I though one would only find in the cesspool.

BTW, I found it trying to sse if Herman Munster was number 1313.

This is the thread http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=004290

Mike D cannot be found by searching by member number 0, so this poor fella likely is a member WITHOUT a number, 0 likely being the reported number for numberless members.

Their be other member number 0s, like Thomas William Davie, Capt_Manieri, John Pender
, and Zigster.

[BooM]

[Ben Galanti]

I'm pretty sure A. Arabian is right about the alphabetical thing for us folsk from the first day. I'm just a couple below Berli, which is right alphabetically (and is why Bigtime Software is just a couple after him). With number 2 being 007 (using zeroes) and AR and A. Arabian being in the single digits (with R coming before '.' in the alphabet, apparently tongue.gif ), it seems to make sense.

Now, I think latter folks are by when the registered, it's just the early folks who are alphabetical.

[Mattias]

Sounds reasonable Ben.

However, even among the semi old hands, like around 400, the numbers clearly does not correlate absolutely to the registration date.

There must be something more to it...

I'm guessing I must be near the end of the alphabetical period. Then there are probably about 900 of us "old hands" minus the guys who got accidentally whacked.

I'm coming up on my second anniversary in a couple of days. Somebody congratulate me!

[Strider]

There was point in time (looks to be around Nov '99) when there was a problem with the board, and anyone who attempted to post during this (?)2 day period, got their profile corrupted. BTS did what they could to recover them, but were successful only to a limited extent. My 'date' says 5/16/99 which is correct...I didn't attempt to post during this period smile.gif

Not sure if this also had anything to do with the numbering system...could be smile.gif

Well, Wadepm just shot holes in that theory...he's a month older than I am, but his number is bigger.

Not really sure why my number isn't lower, but I think for some reason I was away when this board was created and you had to start registering.

nono, you must've misunderstood something along the way, the only differentiation the number makes is dividing us into good-looking, intelligent, successful, rich, infallible veteran members, and FNGs, and the division line is three digits to four digits.... also known as the "rule of the upper one thousand" :-p

Given the BBS rebuild, and subsequent reassignment of member thingies (did you get yours back?) that number doesn't mean alot.

Now what DOES matter is the date. When pray tell, did YOU register???

Coming up on 700 days old on the BTS site.

And before all you cranky old codgers start complaining about the Great Board Crash, it was no crash, it was a vaulation by the Gods of CM (no, not Steve and Charles), those Horsemen of the Apocalypse; War, Famine, Pestilence and Plague. A valuation of the board membership. Those found wanting, those found playing those other unmentionable wargames were dismissed and their memories wiped from the board, while those of us pure at heart, forsaking all other games, were spared the indignity, only to see these wanting folk return again...
