On one side, I have **Jitterbug Boy**. A guest who joined on December 7th 2002, he asked a few questions and participated in one Cafe Society thread. His tenth and final post was on June 20th, 2003.

On the other, I have **matt halo** , bearing the enigmatic title “Registered User”. This mental health professional from Vancouver has a grand total of zero posts, sports the signature “who cares…?” and describes himself as a 26 year old misanthrope, which is eerily close to what I was in December of 2002.

</div>

Before is **oldscratch** , who made upwards of 4,000 posts but has been MIA for almost a year now.

After is **Prof. Anthrax** , who wasted a great username by lurking for only a month.

We all joined 6/20/2000.

On the low side, **Novus** , a “Registered User”, who made no posts, started no threads, and last visited 8/10/2000. **Novus** ’s sig line:

> [@](#):
>
> Nothing clever here folks, move right along…

No truer words exist.  
On the high side, **Qixotica** , one of our lurking brethren. Officially a “Guest”, **Qixotica** made 132 posts over the last 6 years, but has not started any threads. Last visit: 1/29/2006. There’s a wealth of info, compared to **Novus** : **Qixotica** is a Computer Tech from Salt Lake City who’s into gaming in a big way, including (shudder) LARP. **Qixotica** ’s sig line?

As a 30-year GM, I beg to differ. It’s never too late to beg the GM.

To my left I have [jagballer](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php), who was somehow banned after one post. The post in question has disappeared without a trace. I sense mafia involvement. Or maybe the NSA is watching this board!

To my left is [Key Lime Guy](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php), who at nearly 8 times my post count in the same time period has me looking absolutely deadbeat.

We all joined this July, but spiritually my SMDB age is much older. I’ve lurked pretty consistently for upwards of 5 years and am trying hard to be a contributing member. I’m doing my best to keep up the neighborhood!

Ah, no he isn’t. I clicked my name in the “User CP” list, which gets you a different number than the userID. Never mind, nothing to see here.

</div>

I’m number [121](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=121).

Just before me is another holdover from the AOL boards, [Ruby Sunbeam](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=120), who posted as Welfy on AOL, and only posted 17 messages here, most of which are lost, but the last one was in 2001.

Next in line after me is [Gonedef](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=122), who had only one post over a year and a half after registering.

My nearest active neighbors seem to be [matt\_mcl](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=107) at number 107, and [Kat](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=125) at number 125.

There’s these two, Sayjin, number 19012 and dhacker, number 19014 who registered but never posted. Then there’s this guy in the middle, his number is 19013, who needs to get a life. Geez! 😃

[QUOTE=Merhouse]  
Woo hoo!! Growing up, we used to spend a week or two at Lake George every summer – still have very fond memories of those times. Besides, one of my best friends lives in Queensbury 🙂

[further hijack] A few years ago I was up there and looked for the place we used to stay. I knew it didn’t exist as it once had, but I was able to find it, and I hope the family made a gazillion dollars on the sale to the developers of the condos. They were nice people, too 🙂 [/hijack]  
[/QUOTE]

Wow! I live in Queensbury too, which as your know is about 5 miles from Lake George. Small world/board isn’t it?

**golgo13** , whose peacocks keep me up all night with their noisy lovemaking, and **Penguin Power** , who apparently feel victim to a passing skua.

In fact, I live in a large empty block, with my nearest active neighbours **astorian** and **Gr8Kat**.

My immediate predecessor was **ctolbert6** , who posted twice and was last on the board in February of 2001.

Immediately after me was **Some Guy** , who actually had 904 posts before leaving April 15, 2004.

Looking backwards in time for a current poster, I came across **bluecabbage** who has the fascinating member status of “Complete Twit” with only 6 posts, all of which are unfortunately MIA.

The next active poster after me is **drewcosten** , who has 95 posts since October 2000, and was on the board today. A person of few words indeed.

I’m #56028, joined November 15, 2005. User 56027 was **vaohaub** with 0 posts. This one was a member. Maybe registered for the search function?

Immediately following me, #56029 was **JoelWhy** , a guest with just 2 posts. I guess I brought property values down?

ThreeLeggedBob posted 199 times.

After I joined, Frog Pajamas followed, which is a cool name but they never posted.
