That would be me. I’ve hijacked my own thread in the OP. I seem to have a lot of things in my mind… Give a subject and a femtosecond and you’ll have a hijack.
Biggirl, you are only the second person I’ve ever met who actually knows about Joe Tex. Some people vaguely remember the song, but that’s about it. I think I might like meeting you, oh woman of esoteric music knowledge.
I was on the AOL board under the name D8thGuest in 1997. I didn’t settle on Mahaloth here until 2000, though.
I remember Opal being there, but I think Cecil Adams was the first member.
I thought Satan had the most posts before being banned.
Whatd **Satan** get banned for?, you know, besides the obvious - that hes the devil and all.
“If LotR Had Been Written By Someone Else!?” has a lot more - 369872 views.
:o
Alloran not Alessan. You can see how the similarity of names made me mix them up.
Satan was banned for flaming Muffin in a gun control thread in Great Debates after having been repeatedly warned not to flame outside the Pit. I suspect that’s all, or even a bit more, than either the staff or Satan himself wants said about it, but that’s the answer to the question.
B) there have been several threads opened by known trolls (or people who got banned very soon after) that were closed within seconds/minutes of being open.
My brother, who was banned back in 2001 (early, I think), is named dwalin now, having been initially named alloran (I think this is where you got confused re: alloran/Alessan, b]Poly**). He was banned when he said he was 12 (back then the reg. requirements said nothing about age, and which was quickly rectified given current Internet standards and/or whatnot). He was re-instated a few months ago when the relevant people were informed that he is now over the age of consent … so to speak;) As his birthday is in June, and his birth year is 1988, he is not the youngest here (Aslan of Narnia, for one, is younger). But I think we qualify as the family (genetically related) with the most people registered, though phantomdiver rarely posts unless I direct her at something.
If I’m related to Alessan this is the first I’ve heard of it:D
whuckfistle, here is the relevant thread. Fair warning: you may end up spending several hours combing over this and other related threads.
Sorry, dwalin/alloran and Alessan! Thanks for the clarification, 'punha!
Tied with at least two others. As previously noted, AirmanDoorsUSAF and MsRobin are married and their son BombBayDoors is indeed a member, and rather obviously genetically related to both of them.
And there are or were two four-member families here. Melin (now banned), her husband who posted as Highlander, and two sons whose names I don’t recall were members, with three of them still officially in good standing AFAIK. And MajorMD, her husband PUNdit (formerly PUNditOK on SD/AOL), a son whose screen name made reference to the Texas state university he attended, and a daughter posting under Penquin__ (numbers I don’t remember) were all members and AFAIK still are. None of these people posts to any significant extent if at all any more.
There’s also me, my husband Houseman and my son Zoltarb. My husband rarely posts however.
I also got my best friend beerchick to register. She posts more than my husband does.
licks tip of pencil
Thanks for the info so far. I`m taking notes.
Im getting ready to move, just bought our first house. Were trying to get stuff together for a rummage sale tomorrow. Next week we move.
Anyone out there with a weak mind and a strong back that`s willing to help? 
I like some of the new category details, like most family members on the boards, most posts in a single day, quickest pitted, longest timegap before a bump, etc.
White Lightning- I`ll take your advice.
Any others?
I looked at that Satan thread iampunha and I saw a lot of posters that had high counts that I don`t recognise. I guess some people eventually loose interest or just get burned out. Or maybe they just get jobs. < JK
What’s really crazy is that Kat was way ahead of everybody till she quit. What a fun thread.
Hey, that’s me. Only my Mom and sister take me out once a week now so I get out more so I probably can’t claim this record. There must be real shut-ins here somewhere.
I was going to say “Ask the Gay Guy” has the most sequels but I actually think that would go to the bi-weekly Sequential Thread Titles game.
What is the mean number of posts per day and who is the most average member?
Paging Bill H…Bill H, please answer the white courtesy phone.
It’s actually probably close to 0 or 2 ppd, given the mass of people registered with <10 posts.
Most Famous Doper:
Wealthiest Doper:
On a scale of 1 - 10 who is the Most Interesting Doper to Read. 1 being totally sleep inducing 5 being acceptable but not out of the ordinary 10 being extremely interesting, look forward to seeing them here!!
Iampunha, I’m confident there are significantly younger Dopers than dwalin, and I was not nominating him for that category.
Rather, I was defining a new category, perhaps “Currently active Doper who began posting at the youngest age” – and, except for the very special case of Bomb Bay Doors, dwalin is, ISTM, a shoe-in for that title. In fact, I would hazard a guess (subject to correction by Admin. or the relevant poster) that he is the only person banned exclusively for being underage who rejoined and became an accepted member when he passed the age requirement.
The one in the ‘middle of AssBoink’ is Miss Magic8Ball, my neice. Let me assure you that it is not a self-induced isolation, as she is 15 years old. It is parent-induced isolation. It is also, in fact, only 20 kilometres from the Capital city of the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife.
Okay. Some clarification on the Doors situation. Aaron was allowed to register shortly after his birth by TubaDiva. His one post was typed by Airman, but the account has been suspended until his 13th birthday unless the rules change and he is allowed to post sooner.
And the Doors are a five-poster family, if you count Aaron. Airman, I, and Aaron, plus soccerbaby and Airman’s stepmother are all registered posters, although I have no idea what Airman’s stepmother’s user name is.

Of course, you could get a wholly different set of results by asking
“What is the mean number of posts per day and who is the meanest member?”
There was someone in my Teenage Dopers thread who was 13. I think his name was Ben-something.
Could there be a record for getting someone a million miles away addicted to SDMB because Maleinblack cursed me for getting him addicted. I’m in NZ and he’s in India.
The youngest SDMB poster who was prolific and stuck around for a protracted period of time was 12 years old, and since being a member that young is no longer allowed that record should hold. She was a part of the AOL/SDMB and her screen name was Cmmdr Zil. (It was briefly some lower rank + Zil before she promoted herself). Like OpalCat, she had announced her intentions for world domination.
I think she posted on this board as Zilly but only briefly.
