I’m curious about the membership here at SDMB.

Last I checked there are over 37,000 registered.

I’m wondering what month/year has been the heaviest for signups. Seems like lately there are quite a few.

I signed in on June/18/2003 and have userid=36386. I have also noticed that userid’s in the teens (even single digits) are still active.

The other day it was pointed out to me that if you hover your cursor over someone’s username the userid is visible, which makes finding that data a snap.

Just for the hell of it, what’s your userid# and what date did you register?

And just for kicks I note that this is thread #197,523, even though the “thread count” on the main page is at 191,166 (or near that) when I looked a moment ago.

Also, postid=3,700,492

You might be right. But since June/18/2003 I’ve found a way to use it.
