Hey cool. When I posted my neighbors, I hadn’t seen your post yet. We’re both still actively posting. Sweet.
And to be neighborly, come on in and I’ll pop open a couple of beers.

No one I know at either side of me – BadAfrican, who had four posts that went missing in that infamous Winter, and prideofpurple, with zero posts.
However, while I was going up and down along a little range, I came across a profile for a person who joined in October of 2000. Only 10 posts during his time here. His “last activity,” which I think means the last time he logged in, is 9/06/01. This made me a little sad. Hopefully he is alive and well and simply lost interest in the SDMB.
I’m #7193.
#7192 was Humble Ice with 7 posts, and #7194 was Mitch_uk with 0 posts…
#17521: luckyloo had nine posts, separated by intervals of as much as seven months. Last post was May 20, 2003.
#17522: The jackelope we all know and love, with 4,597 posts.
#17521: msplaced (clever name), whose 12 posts display a markedly austere sense of phrasing and rhythm:
Last post was on November 11, 2001, slightly less than two months after join date.
One of my neighbours was a no-post wonder and the other was a piranha brother who started a thread titled ‘Ask the steel fabricator’.
Aww, we’re buddies! Let’s buy matching sweaters.
Seriously, I seem to be in a pretty good neighbourhood. To my immediate left I have Sublight, with 7,112 posts and a join date in August of 2000. To my immediate right, I have rocking chair, with a fancy charter membership, 3,787 posts and a join date of June, 2000.
Upon further review, I see that I have clicked on the wrong set of numbers, causing me to post the users who posted last, not the users who joined immediately before and after me. Apparently I, too, live in a quiet backwoods neighbourhood.
Yes, its very meta, isn’t it?
Yeah, I figured something like that might be the case, which is why I didn’t invoke his username.
Let’s see I’m #55225–right before me was Eclectic_Enthusiast, a guest with a grand total of two posts, hasn’t been heard from since 05-25-2006 02:07 AM.
Right after is chalokiili with no posts at all, last activity 09-29-2005 02:39 AM, the same day he/she joined.
Under my previous incarnation (before I got Smart–number 19838) I was preceded by Polski King, a guest with a whopping 27 posts and last activity 03-25-2002 06:28 PM–the King hung around for a whole two weeks, woo hoo!
And followed by rhet, a guest with no posts at all who never came back after the first day.
You have to go as far as 19842 before running into ResIpsaLoquitor who racked up over 1700 posts before disappearing on 05-27-2004.
Not illustrious company, this! I’ll try to make up for having come from such a bad neighborhood…
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]
I’m 9764, with a Join Date of 9-25-2000. I posted on a curve, spiking upwards, and then stopped shortly before the Universe got sucked into an Alternate Server (WOOMC).
On this side we have #9765, guest Chembabe, with one post. Her sig was “the rutabega king lives!”. Intersting.
On the othe side we have #9763, Charter Member iamthewalrus(:3= who is active and as prolific as me.
Other active posters around us are Bumbazine and Purd Werfect. Beyond that is a suckings vortex of guest and “registered users”, which would be folks that created a profile, but haven’t logged on since the site went pay.
Interesting game!
At 15,688, I find that I, too, live in a very rural district or perhaps even a cemetary. The late humbubba, a quiet soul, preceeded me with 0 posts. On the other side, however, I have A monkey with a gun to protect me from the rustlers and grave robbers, with 2042 posts and activity as recent as Sept 1. Thank you, Monkey. I feel much safer posting with you and your gun as my neighbors.
I am #20028.
#20027 was sataninblue, who posted twice and whose last activity was on June 1, 2002.
#20029 was Broken Spoke, who posted 23 times and whose last activity was on May 6, 2002.
My closest current members are Sir Prize (#20006 and was active today) and Big Tom (#20039). Big Tom’s last activity was on May 22, 2006. If you want more recent posting, one further (#20040) is glilly, whose latest post was August 24, 2006.
Ok I’m number 7683.
7682 is Unbroken who is a Registered User with 0 posts ever

I’m a wet-behind-the-ears newcomer at 57011.
Flanking me are Sikle, guest with 4 posts, and PrincessLinda, guest with O.
My closest active neighbors are Zachlee (57002) and** Praetor **(57017).
I’m 5583.
Coming in before me at 5582 was JenC and, though the name sounds familiar and she took the time to fill out her profile rather thouroughly, she has a grand total of 0 posts.
Immediately following me on the same day, at 5584, is . . . SPOOFE! Who masturbated with toothpaste until his penis-skin fell off, stuck all sorts of fun things up his ass, and has twice my post-count despite being inactive for almost a year and a half now.
My number is 13211 and I registered on March 3rd, 2001 …
The neighbor before me was named DevilDoll (also registered on March 3rd, 2001). She made two posts in the same thread in which she panicked about the gloves breaking when she dyed her hair and her hands are black. I hope they’re clean now.
The neighbor after me is the always lovely AwSnappity (registered March 4, 2001), whose most recent post was last Monday.
I’m 16465, right in front of Heaving Mass (lovely name) with 15 posts and right in front of January with 26, most of which have an annoying amount of AIM speak for my liking.
My join date is August 15th, 2001, which was my father’s 50th birthday. My post count is 731.
Immediately following me is a guest with o posts, who was called its that guy.
Immediately preceeding me is a very recognizable Bosda Di’Chi’ of Tricor!
We’re 99’rs!!!
