No this isn’t a game about who shares your birthday, and it’s really not all that random even.
So how do you determine your Random Doper Birthday Buddy? Simply type your birthdate (mmddyy)after the equal sign in this link:

And see who pops up!
I’m February 2, 1975 (2275), and my RDBB is…Ssnakebite. Hm, never posted. 
If your birthdate is too long (ie 112550), just take a digit out (ie 11255).
Cool!
My RDBB is…biophile6.

Worked fine for me. Mine is Jalapeno On A Stick.
Well I guess he only stuck it out until '03, cause he hasn’t posted since.
I did. It finally sunk through the first 5 layers of skull that nobody else has my birthday. :smack:

All the better. Fun is about random stuff.
Ohhh, I geddit…
Mine is Washte. Lotsa posting from '02 to '05, but it looks like she ducked out after P2P.
Mine is davero, who posts even less than I do. (Joined March 2003; never posted.)
Ok, so I don’t get it. I must be slow. Mine is 11-30-75, so I should just put 11307? Why? What does that accomplish? I come up with 2cense, who was banned.
Another reason not to have a birthday after September!
Mine is Convict, who joined in 2000 but left in 2004, I’m guessing around the time we went to paid subscriptions. At 121 posts, he was quite the lurker but not quite the ghostie that some of you have found.
Correction – she ducked out (via this final post) when her son was born.
Vinnie Virginslayer - looks like he let his membership go back in 2003, or got banned, or something.
With a name like that, I’d ban him.

Oh, I don’t know, randomness? Finding a useable user ID? Nothing at all?
I remember that guy!
My match is a '99er named Songbird… Username sounds distantly familiar.
