I suspect that those of us who live in that neighborhood tend to be a little more active than some of the others. We were the folks who were just itching to get on the board after it came back up again. My neighbor to the north, **19851 [Acquiesce](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=19851)**, has posted only two times (her last post, titled “I need uncensored news sources”, may have left a bad taste in her mouth–she was all but accused of being a conspiracy nut). My neighbor to the south, however, is the well known **19853 [Exapno Mapcase](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=19853)** with almost 1200 posts to his or her credit. (The [latest](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3387614#post3387614) being a zinger tossed in **Rilchiam** ’s direction…) ---

Actually, I’m in the middle of a trio of active posters. I’ll join **Scout1222** in making us the first pair of neighbors to post to this thread, and right ahead of me is **jarbabyj** , another name I know and like seeing. I’ve got _good_ neighbors! 😃 CJ ---

My neighbors are **darwinicon** , with a grand total of 1 post to his/her credit, and **Brownie1940** , with none at all. I’ll have to check the rest of the neighborhood later. ---

To the left I’ve got **Ed Heil** and to the right I’ve got **Pete** ; neither of these folks ever posted. Nine over to the left is **RTA** , whom I recognize, and who posted today. Fifteen over to the right is **Edward\_J\_Cunningham** , whom I remember, even though his 249th and final post was on 11-29-1999. ---

I’ll admit it, I’m in great suspense to see who I’m between. Here we go… I’m #251. Registered 3/16/99. I guess that makes me one of the old-timers. To the south, #250: **Diceman.** Yep, that’s a familiar name. 2255 posts, last posted yesterday. Cool. To the north, #252: **douglips.** Yes, I recognize the name, but not for any specific reason; just seen 'em around. 1288 posts, last posted in April. I think that makes me the first person with immediate neighbors who are both major contributors to the board. Wow, busy area to be in. _–thump thump thump–_ “Keep it down!” 😃 On the other side of **Diceman** … #249: **kjed** , never posted. #248: **Judy5** , never posted. #247: **verbiage** , never posted. (Too bad, cool name.) And on the other side of **douglips** … #253: **MONTY2** , whom I recognize, 226 posts, last on 3/27. #254: **BugZap** , 160 posts, not since 12/17/00. 'Nother cool name. #255: **paleobibliomaniac** , never posted. _'Nother_ cool name. So **Diceman** notwithstanding, it looks like the street to the north is marginally more hospital than to the south, and it’s me and my neighbors who are making most of the noise. 😛 ---

I’m the lowest number to be posting so far! w00t me. #148 - Jane McCormick - 0 posts. **#149 - Kyla - 2562 posts.** #150 - Highlander - 97 posts. Now, I happen to know that **Highlander** is the husband of the infamous **Melin**. So, something tells me that isn’t going to increase to 98 any time soon. Just down the street is **BobT** , though at #151 and 5961 posts. Howdily-ho, neighborino! ---

Hmmm. Quiet here. To the north, at #19152… **mcnuprin** posted only once, apparently to comment on cordless phones as cellphone jammers To the south, at #19154… **Lixitxachitl** posted 12 times… the last one almost a year after registering on 11-16-01 to talk about whether or not honey can be made artificially… though it appears that her post was merely to say “Gee, wish I’d thought of Bee Vomit for a username!” when I Am Sparticus (now banned) said something characteristically stupid. There are very few active posters who registered on 11-16-01 with me, but they include **Barking Spider** , banned after 383 posts for being an exceptionally unpleasant bigot and general racist. And just for kicks, I was the first person to register on that day, and I’m the most active poster of the bunch - **Barking Spider** was more active, but he doesn’t count - so I guess it was a dark day for the SDMB. ---

To the north, at 18790, we have: Doug77, registered 11-01-01, never posted. To the south, at 18792, we have: Krebnut, who posted twice. The scary thing is I remember reading the last thread he posted in: [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1778668#post1778668) Looks like he regged just to join that thread. ---
