Ah, what a miracle growth. I wonder who it is? He/She should get a 7000th member honorary gift or something. Someone may have a spare copy of Pool of Radiance or something.

Anyhow, it's great to see this community (or empire) grow. Up to 10000!

The number of members who have never posted at all is actually about 1900.

The number of people named "Harbourboy" who ruined my joke: 1. :shame:

It's cool that we're growing.
Where did you get those numbers?
SP is biiig and getting bigger; simply because It Rocks Your @ss Off.

If you go by member number, #7000 is Klim'En Zaur. but i think we have around 7100 members now (at least thats the highest number i saw)

I think there must have been some members deleted hence the disparity between member number and number of members. For example, there is no member #1 (he vanished under mysterious circumstances).

Hooray for all people with even hundreds. Now, if ms. and mr. 1000, 2000, 3000, and so on, would post, I'm sure we all would feel a bit better. ;)

Btw, 7000 is nothing yet; wait till it reaches something like 27 000... like one, other board... and we can start talking. :roll:

SP is too exclusive to want to reach 27,000.

There aren't that many people in the world with the required standards of intelligence and refined taste.

:cool:

Just looked to see whether anyone had taken advantage of having one of the trophy member numbers. Apparently not:

Member #100 (Ommelan) had 1 (one) post, while
Member #1000 (St Genem) had 4 (four).

Strangely, Member #666 (BottomFeeder) had 0 (zero) posts, and what's more, identified him/herself as an attorney from California! BottomFeeder is clearly the :evil: of SP!

And you're right; there is no Member #1. Perhaps someone should ask Member #2 (Tal):

Tal: "I am Number 2."
The Prisoner: "Who is Number 1?"
Tal: "You are Number 6."
The Prisoner: "I am not a number; I am a free man!"
Tal: BWAHAHAHAHAHA.....

But looking through the member lists, Member #110 (Sir Belisarius) seems exceptionally well numbered. Bravo!

Okay, if we just hit number 7000, then what the hell is this (http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile;u=00007100)? :confused: :confused: :confused:

So 7100 is replacing 7000 now? Apparently the numbers (http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=directory) are a little different (http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi).

Jaguar - did you even read the previous few posts?

To repeat: there are some member numbers missing, such as #1 and #5 and 98 others.

Jaguar

I read them, but I assumed that the numbers weren't actually removed, just closed. I guess I just made an a$$ of you and me. (Get it, ass-u-me)

Ah well, ...

HORRAY SP!!! :D

Maybe they skip numbers in order to make it look like there are more members (like one little german political party with an imfamus member once did)

[will you send bots to kill me now?]

Anyone who doesn't know why there's no member #1 by now should be shot...

Hell, isn't it in the FAQ?

We actually had the same discussion when we hit 6000 ;)

Go SP! :D

I wonder when we'll be big enough to take over the Internet.. ;)

The front page count lists the actual number of usable profiles right now, whereas the member numbers don't go back (obviously, that'd be a mess) whenever an account is deleted or otherwise lost. Which some people here have figured out already.

Well done SP!!!


But a questions still remains unanswered... where are all these members? :confused:

7000 members strong!

For now; after the summer-break is over, I bet you find something better to do, though. ;) (Or maybe you think SP isn't really good place after all, who knows.)

For now; after the summer-break is over, I bet you find something better to do, though. [Wink] (Or maybe you think SP isn't really good place after all, who knows.)Member number 306, and I'll soon have spent 4 years on these boards.

Member #1 will probably have died of old age, since the forum is already a few years old. I hope Tal's not next. ;)

There was no real member number 1. IIRC, member number one was for administrative use when the forum was created.

Jaguar

So Tal replaced the administration? Way to go Tal! Stick it to the man! :grr:

We will see 8000 members, by god!!

Well, that are alot of members, that means that this is one of the best AD&D site there is, and people i know who play the Forgotten Realms series keep asking me the link of the site, so that means alot.
Keep on posting and putting information on the site boys!!!
