Meh.
A person with a four digit user number presumes to come in here and tell us how exclusive they are?
And then presume to be our President?
So far in this thread I see only one other that qualifies for the super-duper deluxe exclusive club of three digit user numbers.
I repeat. Meh.
Where does that leave people like Opal and me?
Where’s the club for us AOL Dopers?
If I remember right, my member number is in the lower 40’s. I was in during the old AOL days.
For a slogan, we could borrow “We’ve been here since before the beginning,” from Firesign Theater.
Or maybe…'99 members of Dope on the wall, '99 members of Dope.
This is really kinda silly, a bunch of the Old Dope, posting from the right side of the tracks and looking down our noses at the Nouveau Dope, with their inflatable Cecil in the yard and their pitbulls and their plastic Og Bless America signs. I was a dimwad rookie once, and I’ll bet you were, too. 
Show us yer ninety-nines!
I made it just under the wire - #913. But hell, I always like to see those two-digit folks still around.
Ask, I know.
You and Doug are the first to post from the Elite Illuminati Secret Cabal of the Two-Digit Dopers.
And I was poking fun at the idea of a club for long-timers.
By the way, to get your user number, roll your mouse over your user name, and in the bar at the lower left of your browser, you’ll see a URL - and your user number is after the “u=”.
I suppose the first social occasion should be a gala benefit to show our solidarity with the newbies — or as I prefer to call them, the Alternately Dated. I’m not saying that we should bring them to the actual event. I was thinking maybe videotapes or something. We could drink and chat as we wring our hands watching their sad stories. I think we can get Phaedrus as a guest speaker.
It’s supposed to be silly. And… I wanted to see how many of the long-time vets came out to play.
I still am! 
As for pre-'99… I suppose you could make your own thread if you want to… It still says 1999 on the top so all of those folks would still qualify for this “exclusive” '99 club.
If anyone thought I was looking down on the “Nouveau Dope” has misunderstood my intent, and I hope they realize I was attempting to poke fun at how it really doesn’t matter when you joined, or how many posts you have. The whole thread is a farce. But it’s also a way for me to see who is still here, from back when I joined
So AskNott - Does this mean you don’t want in?
Cuz I could really use a hand removing the WhiteRabbit and the Anonymous Coward…[sub] how bad is that?[/sub]
And, of course, I had to look up the ultimate.
The one-digit members.
The SpiffyGroovyCopaceticGnarlyPeachyBestEverCat’sPajamas Dopers.
And the only two I recognized are: (drum roll please…)
User number 2 - Lynn Bodoni.
and
User number 6 - Ed Zotti.
You’d think that Cecil would be in there somewhere.
[sub]or maybe he is…bwahahahaha![/sub]
Kewl! I’m no. 496.

Going from memory here folks, but the board didn’t go public until March '99. The February folks would be tests and setup people. Cecil is probably in the 20’s.
The first actual doper from the old AOL would probably be Catbiker…I believe he’s #33.
Another pre “Winter of Our Missed Content” user here who was originally on the AOL board.
I dug through the dusty corners of my head and figured out what my old username was, (Leathermaker) and after bribing two hamsters with half a banana, was able to pull up a post, which shows I joined in March 1999 with a two-digit ID. Yay for me at #41.
Before anyone accuses me of having sockpuppets, that old ID is abandoned. Actually, any chance of attaching my current ID to that ID#?
Another '99 lurker here. Is there a position open for dispensing of liquid beverages? I’ll keep an eye on the inventory (burp) and keep the newbies out of our stash.
Meek, if you can’t handle a rabbit and a coward, maybe we need a new leader. You know, we could bring back someone like Satan maybe.
Is the official wallflower position still open?
slinks back to shadows
Woot!
All Hail Inertia!
Wooohooo! A private club and the revelation that I’m no. 502! I never knew how to look up my number. How do I look up the whole list of members?
OK, who has the brandy and cigars? [Settles into overstuffed leather chair, opens newspaper] What are the scruffy normal people doing today? What a bother, going to work. Just pay someone to do it for you!
Oh, Jeeves, place a call to my broker and, uh, have him do something. Threaten him with not being able to use my vacation house or something if he doesn’t make me more money.
Now, as treasurer, I think I’ll have a look at the club till, over here behind this curtain. [Puts on trenchcoat with multiple inner pockets]
I’m in here!
I rarely post, but I remember the AOL days. Finally, I’m part of the cool crowd
Is this the 5 o’clock free crack giveaway?
