I suddenly realized that people have member numbers in the 8000's now. How does that happen? I also suddenly realized that Titanic was ten years ago, so this could just be me getting old. But there is no way that much more than 500 new people have come through here in any visible way in my time. Do thousands of people really bother to register here, but never post? Or is it mostly bots? -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

For one thing, many people register and make only one post. Two, yes there is bots, but there is also lurkers. Three, some people get really bored. -------------------- WWJD? Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Perhaps you are one of the lucky ones that can filter out the idiots. Although I still would be hard pressed to come up with 500 out of the last 6000 that aren't idiots. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

My number is in the 8000's as well. Mine is smaller than yours Excalibur! (smaller member number=older spiderweber in terms of membership). AND THIS WOODPECKER IS DRIVING ME CRAZY(ER). Edit -CRAZIER!

By the time you factor in all the people who register and never post, all the people who register to ask just one or two questions, all the people who register and just hang around for a month or two so that you never get to really know who they are and remember them, all the bots, all the multiple accounts (of both well-known and not-so-well-known people), and then finally all the well-known active posters, it's not surprising to be surprised by how quickly the numbers go up. Dikiyoba is frequently surprised by it. Of course, Dikiyoba is also surprised to learn that Titanic is over ten years old, so... Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Imagine this: Infernal Flamming Muffin the 2nd Member #20014 By that time, I would be considered an oldbie. -------------------- I can transform into almost anything, though not sanity.

Oldbies aren't just those with low member numbers. If you have to talk about it you'll never be it. —Alorael, who supposes nobody would be an oldbie if nobody talked about it. But wouldn't that be like a communist oldbie dictatorship of the elitist proletariat? Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

What I meant was that by that time I will have gained expirience and will have gotten a lot better. Of course, you are an oldbie Alorael. In which case if you are still here by member #20000, then you would be the real oldbie. -------------------- I can transform into almost anything, though not sanity. Muffins n' Hell.

I remember when 5000 was thought of as a very high member number, or maybe still is. I don't see why people any thought into member numbers. There are people with very low numbers that no one has heard of, and people with higher numbers that everyone knows. Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

Psst! IFM! When you have every other or every third post in a thread and each post is only a few lines long, you're spamming. Back off a little, okay? Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |
