What the heck. I’m bored, it’s quarter after 1 in the morning, I’ll do it. Some of the names _are_ vaguely familiar… 😉 120 - Ruby Sunbeam - 9 121 - RJKUgly - 66 122 - Gonedef - 0 123 - Shadowfox - 806 124 - MrKnowItAll - 1269 **125 - Kat - 1739** (registered 03-13-1999) 126 - TomB - 0 127 - Rilchiam - 1037 128 - Brad - 0 129 - PUNdit - 220 130 - Jess - 379 131 - Nickrz - 1983 132 - Skarlett244 - 0 133 - GersonKoenig - 0 134 - Tom Scarin - 1 135 - bob0203 - 0 ---

I’m userid _3291_. Ignoring all the IDs which have less than 10 posts and/or have been dead for almost a year, I can see a number of noteworthy neighbors of mine: _stolichnaya_ is at 3288. _Redwing_ is at 3286. … and _Libertarian_ is at 3284. Dude, I’m not worthy! ---

It’s Sunday, I bored, so why not: I’m #529, registered 4-5-99 People who registered on the same day… ```auto # Name (number of posts) 508 Phil A Sheo (7) 509 Markxxx (1281) 510 Jerry3620 (25) 511 BOBOBOB (4) 512 TheIncredibleHolg (373) 513 ChiefScott (1836) 514 John W.

Me thinks that at least 10% of the registered members only post once. ---

More pointlessness! Let’s see who’s around me! I was only the second person to register on my date, 11/4/99. The others are: **galen** , # 3110, with 96 posts your friendly neighborhood **Da Ace** , # 3111, with 390 posts **jesus\_farted** , # 3112, with 1 post **hologramaja** , # 3113, with 1 post **ZyA** , # 3114, with 1 post **Homer Green** , # 3115, with 18 posts **Spanky** , # 3116, with 2 posts **rubes** , # 3117, with 187 posts **M. Macha Nightmare** , # 3118, with 1 post **JerryD** , # 3119, with 0 posts **Ver** , # 3120, with 1 post **pandora3617** , # 3121, with 1 post **Laroo** , # 3122, with 0 posts **marklyon** , # 3123, with 1 post **acooke** , # 3124, with 0 posts and that’s the end of November 4th. The next day starts much the same way: **Derf** , # 3125, with 19 posts **Twin** , # 3126, with 67 posts **galen** , # 3110, with 96 posts So, although my post count _seems_ puny, I’m the biggest poster of my class! **rubes** is next closest, and he/she/it has less than half of what I do! Hm, let’s see if I can find anyone I recognize… **Cooper** , at #3133, has 688 posts, but they all must be places like GD or the Pit, 'cause I’ve never heard of him. And then there’s **egkelly** , weighing in at 341 posts and #3162, whose name is actually vaguely familiar. Let’s go the other way, shall we? Good 'ol **padeye** rules the neighboorhood from the stoop of #3095, with 812 posts. Hm, time to go do somew work, I think. ---

Frank: 1. Go to your profile. 2. Look up there where the URL is, where it says (in your case) ‘userid=1163’ at the end. 3. Change the 1163 to 1164. Hit enter. You’ll get the profile of the first person to register after you. 4. Keep doing that in both directions (1164, 1165,…; 1162,1161,…) until the registration date changes. ---

Some numbers are, let’s face it, more interesting than others. Powers of 10, and their even multiples (e.g. 2000), have a certain basic fascination since we use base-10 numeration. But lots of other numbers are interesting as well, due to mathematical (1024 = 2^10), historical (1492), or cultural (666) reasons. Thought I’d track down a few of the holders of the more interesting numbers. Any gaps indicate posters that are either long gone, or never posted much to begin with. As of this post, the newest (highest) userid is 6250. **Powers of 10:** nevermind. **Multiples of 1000:** 2000: jazzmine **Powers of 2:** ```auto 2: Lynn Bodoni 32: TubaDiva 512: TheIncredibleHolg 1024: Falcon ``` **Perfect Squares:** ```auto 36: OpalCat 289: SadisticWeasel 529: Louie 1024: Falcon 1369: Alphagene 2025: manhattan 3025: Krispy Original 3844: MKM (MikeM on the LBMB) 5329: Bast (SmoothOperator on the F[sup]3[/sup]MB) ``` **Ramanujan’s Number:** 1729: Mr.Zambezi More of these later; time to get some work done. ---
