    Talking about old, was anyone here on the original alt.tasteless? That was perverted
    in a morbidly classy way, but without the classy. Looked it up again years later and
    it had been taken over by the light in the loafers crowd. Years before the world wide
    web was dreamed up.

    Wow, ten years already?
    Anyone know how to see that number without a computer mouse?
    thanks.

    why be ordinary?
     
  6. That's too bad. I talked to him on the phone once for a while. Seemed like a nice guy. RIP

  8. 31581 is my number?
    I thought mine would be a bit lower, like maybe 6,000 or so, but I guess not.
    thanks

    So I was curious . . . just saw that latest new member is no. 345,613. Wow, that's a lot of members.
    I wonder how many join looking for information and then never return after their initial search? I would venture to say quite a few.
    Out of 345,000 + members who took the time to join, how many remain active? 10,000? 30,000? Curious.

    Lower left corner of screen, the number on the far right of that is your member number

    Edit: put cursor over your member name, not avatar

    Hello,
    Click on your name 1956 F100 and below, in the lower left corner, a long link shows up. It is dark and hard to see, but the last section of the link is your number.

    It took me several times to get the link on my screen. I think I am 259060, a relative newcomer. Since 2015

    I lurked off and on for about 3 years before I joined the end of 2010. It was a rough place back then and I had to get my skin thick enough to join. Lol

    Not anywhere close to the first 500…but, figured out I passed the 10k post mark a while back while looking around to find I was more than 18k as far as member number.

    I remember discovering this amazing page back in 1997!! Shag! Wolf! Deuceboy! Jason (TSR)! McPhail! C9! Ryan, of course! Back when the main page featured the drag slick.

    Still on here and it looks like I am member #44!
     
  24. I always forget my number, but Oct 2001 is listed as my date. But I seem to recall earlier signup, but a forum reset gave new dates and number? Hard to believe been around here 23+ years.

    On my phone don't know how to get the number. Can do it on laptop if I was there.

  26. I knew i wasn't in h
    the first 500, but im shocked to see im 6551. What realy suprised me was seeing the member number more then almost trippled too 18379 a year later when guthriesmith joined a year later.

    I don’t remember my original number. I remember when it was less than 50 guys making fun of each other and I remember waiting 12 hours for a new post.
    I don’t even know what my number is now. I don’t remember how many times I got kicked off or put on “time out” but I know my number kept changing.
    I remember the first board

    im just glad I’m alive still.
