Who's member #1?

Tarol'azh, a.k.a.Tobias · Tue, 3rd Dec '02, 11:21pm

Does anyone know who the alleged Member #1 is, because I know mem. #2 is Tal (from the printer-friendly version of a thread)...

Blackthorne TA · Tue, 3rd Dec '02, 11:25pm

My understanding is that there is no member #1. The process of installing and configuring automatically uses one member ID and is never used again.

The Soul Forever Seeking · Tue, 3rd Dec '02, 11:26pm

I asked this same question before, just not (I think) as a new thread. If only I could remember where... Anyway, if I remember what the answer was correctly, it was one founding member, and Tal was the other.

Edit: Wow! I must have been writing that message at the EXACT same time BTA was. Mine was one minute (probably :59 and :00) after his. Sorry. Ignore mine. Now I remember.

I'm member #1!

+ 1369.

ejsmith · Wed, 4th Dec '02, 5:16pm

I've always thought it worked a little like Unix.

There's one root account. And you don't want anyone hacking that one. #1.

So, you make a secondary account. Root can still override this account, but *it* cannot remove root. And you use some 30 character password on it, and no more than 2 login attempts per 24 hours. Needless to say, you slowly type that password in if you ever had to use it.

Then, you administer with user #2. If you absolutely had to fall back to the artillery, it's there and it's ready to go.

Big Daddy Root.

BTA is right, everything else is wrong. In the olden days when we started using this board, the early version still required the #1 member to be removed after the install process is done. I don't think it does any more, but it isn't really relevant. The member numbers have no effect on anything.

So, for the records, the first member is me, and #1 as such does not exist.

Mathetais · Wed, 4th Dec '02, 9:20pm

So who is #3, who would be the first person you recruited?

reepnorp · Wed, 4th Dec '02, 9:23pm

You can find these things out by viewing a profile, and then changing the number at the end of the URL. By the way, member #3 is someone named Jazzy, who made only nine posts.

Nobleman · Thu, 5th Dec '02, 11:26pm

*agitated yelling*
Who does number one work for! Who does number one work for!

Or is it number two. Damn My Austin Powers is rusty.

Thank you, that's all I needed to know....

Big B · Thu, 5th Dec '02, 11:38pm

Somebody email jazzy and tell him/her to come back.

Congradulations for Voltric being member #60 and still being around. Let's give it up for Voltric. Somebody go fish him out of the DnD forum and get the new celebrity over here.

Man! Talking of the earliest members makes me feel really young in comparison!

Vince Clortho · Sun, 8th Dec '02, 8:39pm

@Nobleman:

Yeah, it's number two...! *WHO..DOES..NUMBER.. TWO..WORK FOR?!* Tom Arnold is hilarious in that scene, too.

deBhaal · Mon, 9th Dec '02, 3:51am

You all got it wrong, Im number 1

Big B · Mon, 9th Dec '02, 5:33am

You mean you dethroned Kitiara, Wildfire, and who knows who else?

I'm out of the chat for awhile and everyone gets delusions of grandeur.

deBhaal · Mon, 9th Dec '02, 10:37pm

Big B, yes, I dethroned everyone,

scarampella · Tue, 10th Dec '02, 12:19am

did somebody do number 1 or is tal stuck holding number 2?

Taluntain · Tue, 10th Dec '02, 3:35pm

Once a number is used, even if subsequently the user is deleted, the spot remains empty. Same thing with topics. It doesn't "shift back" if there's an empty space.

Rallymama · Tue, 10th Dec '02, 4:05pm

Personally, I'd rather be Number Six.

Be seeing you!

Maldir · Wed, 11th Dec '02, 10:37am

In that vein, it sort of makes sense that there's no Number One. "I am not a number! I am a free man!"
