**How to calculate deleted userid’s **

Arnold said on **this thread **that he didn’t think userid’s were being deleted.

Actually, this prectice has been going on since the start of the board (hence the missing user #1). I believe Lynn does most of the deleting, although Ed said he deleted a whole batch who signed up on one particular day.

The number deleted is the difference between the member count and the most recent userid [which you can see by hovering over a name].
For example, when I signed up the main menu said
“Members: 25,036, Threads: 127,899, Posts: 2,317,166
Welcome to our newest member, truman2 [userid=25114]”
Thus at that time 78 had been deleted.

A little-known bit of trivia: While you would expect the number to grow, at one point it shrunk - when the Big Backup set the board back to Dec 2001. It had been around 200 at that time.

So whose sock are you? And why is this in the Pit?

3

And. . . anyone would care because?

I’ll take “Things I Don’t Care About” for $400, Alex.

5

Man, i waited 5 minutes for the page to load for that?

I want my 5 minutes back.

C’mon, Arnold. Show us your button.

7

That’s hardly complimentary to our esteemed moderator. Surely it’s more of a joystick than a button?

Fuck, buddy, if yer gonna troll, at least do it with some brains.

From here it just looks like you’re an idiot who can’t read.

11

Well, at least the thread title turned me on.

12

I have met mr. Winkelried, and I can assure you we’re talking about quite a menacing stick here. Cute button, my ass.

13

Your ass is a cute button?! Prove it! Little button man-butts are so cute. :slight_smile:

14

Zette presses Arnold’s cute little hot button and runs away quickly…

15

And you would know this how, exactly? :stuck_out_tongue:

16

So what does this “cute odd little hot button” do, anyways?

And what does that have to do with ME?

Because it’s all about ME, right?

Right?

Do you have a cite for this, or did Ed phone you up and announce this to you personally? :rolleyes:

18

Well, I thought it was about you.

But maybe that’s just me.

19

I didn’t know Arnold was a girl.

Rockford - The thread appears to be deleted, but maybe someone who was here longer than you will be able to verify. Would have been in 2000. Ed would remember, because he used his stern voice and said “Everyone who signed up yesterday is toast”, unusually harsh words he probably rued immediately.
He has another name for such postings, to avoid sullying the Cecil/Ed socks. (I don’t have a cite for that part, but it’s been discussed, so look it up yourself.)
