Ability to discern your member #, is one of the things that are needed to qualify for Oldtimer status, lol. 
Where did all the oldtimers go.

I guess I "qualify" as an old timer...it seems that my number got bumped "up" to 217. IIRC, when I started out I was something like #601. I remember those days, when we envied members with two digit member numbers (11-99), and the holy grail was to be from 1-10 (although I don't think #1 was "available").

You know what's scary. In 2024, I will have been on the forum for 20 (twenty) years. That's just not just "long". That's a whole generation.

Unless I don't have that super power, I think you're member 7366?

Woe to you, oh lawn and shrubs, for the devil sends his weeds with wrath, because he knows your grass is short.
Let him who hath understanding reckon the neighbor of the beast, for it is a tolerant number.
It's number is Six Hundred and Sixty Seven.

Very similar to the way you see if a user is online. You just look in a different spot.
Mouseover, information pops up. I think bottom left. The number next to the username is the member number.

I think 1 was reserved by the system itself. So there was no number one unless you count the software. #2 I'm almost certain was David himself. I don't remember the other 8. Perhaps size15l and Curt (I don't remember his screen name) were among them.

Scary thought. Could mean David was actually a neural-network cybernetic flashlight that became self aware. A learning flashlight.

18643... damn. I'm not an old timer. I feel old. Does that count?
Wait, that's considered old? Ah Son of a B....
(Hey! who deleted the tan, extremely grumpy face Smilie? It's gone!)
Dawg gonnit.... only seven away from being 18650. I suppose at least there is enough gap to not get bummed like perhaps members 18649 or 651...:thinking:

Wow ... 121 :wave:
Perhaps instead of referring to them as Old-timers, we should convey a moniker such as Well Seasoned Alumni. Yeah! That's the ticket.
I've never been able to see my number. Hovered my curser over my username to no avail. :shakehead Just wondering if it's something cool, 47777's
