OK, I have compiled a listing of trivia about the SDMB. Let’s see if I can stump anyone.

1. Give me the names of the hidden forums on the SDMB.

2. Give me the name of three boards independent of the SDMB run by members.

3. A number of Dopers have changed their names. Give me ten.

4. Dopers love animals. Give me 20 poster names with animals.

5. One of our posters has an a-Muse-ing name. What is it?

6. Name 4 “dragons” on the Dope.

7. Give me 3 “Daves”.

8. Give me a poster with no letters in their name.

9. Give me 3 posters with more than 12 letters in their name.

10. When the registration was about to hit 10,000 members, we had a few people join to try and be #10,000. Who is the real #10,000?

Answers may be used more than once. If you can think of a piece of trivia that pertains to the Dope, post it and see if you can stump people.

Enjoy!

Ah, well, of course that’s why I couldn’t think of the last ‘Dave’. I think of him as more of a ‘beagle’ than a ‘dave’ :D.

But wasn’t he **concrete**? I suppose if we eliminated all of the multiple registrations and socks we’d have a lot fewer members.
