Wow. A thread with the exclusiveness of a popularity thread but without the cool factor.

I expected to find out upon clicking the title that this thread was really started by someone whose member number was over 6,000, but I guess I'm just too sinical. Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
Under 2,000 what?

Because the point of the thread is to keep you out, and he can do it by limiting it to 2000.
Heh. I doubt anyone here really thinks they're in the elite because they have lower registration numbers. It's interesting to see how many of the first posters are still around, though.
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
Oh, well, we have to have some reason to tell ourselves we're cool.
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Nice reversion to an old user name Anne Kate! I just love your date that you posted. You make us all look totally uncool by comparison. (pst, I'm her acolyte people. Therefore, I should also be cool.)

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
I thought it was "under 2000 posts" not "under 2000 member number"
Posted by scottneb (Member # 676) on :
To tell the truth I didn't know either.
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Given the phrase "old school" I assumed it was the member number.
But Jon Boy's post whore thread is referring to post number, so it's utterly baffling.
Either way, I can stay in this thread. Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
2,000 is a nice cutoff for some (not to mention any names or anything). And Kasie, you only missed by less than a month -- user #2,000 (who never posted) registered at the beginning of the same month you registered. Not that it matters, mind you, because 2,000 is so arbitrary.
So who cares?
quote:Why not under 1000? 500? 200? 100? 5?
Since users #1-121 were all registered at the same time, it would be silly to have a number below 121. The next reasonable cutoff after 121 would be 125 -- 5 cubed, divides evenly into 1,000. Now who's user #125, I wonder? Hmmm....

That's easy - because Hatrack was just getting rolling at 500, and didn't really reach it's stride till 1000. Then you have the golden age of Hatrack (around 1063 or so, just to estimate), until beginning to decline after 2000. Thus, the cutoff. Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :

Posted by Feyd Baron (Member # 1407) on :
I don't know why, but 1407 was always just a cool sounding member number...
An if I had to pick a cutoff, it'd have to be 1500. Just so Eddie was out and not in... But hey, that's the Texan in my talking I suppose.

We had this discussion before. And the very fact that there actually was a discussion suggests otherwise.
Posted by Kasie H (Member # 2120) on :
Haha, I was definitely confused! I was thinking 2000 as in the year 2000...that would mean "old school" hatrackers in a literal sense...heh.
Oh well! I defniitely fit into the "below 2000 posts" club, so
And I *almost* make the below-2000 member number...
Okay, I'm *still* confused.

I find it quite baffling that many of us who have been here longer STILL have post counts under 2,000. It seems that your member number could be directly proportional to the rate that your post count increases.
Kama, I hope this thread doesn't make you feel bad. I am the despiser of popularity threads, but this one really means NOTHING. Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :
I love all these popularity threads! All of you guys are awesome!
Especially those that have member numbers less than 2K. I am merely in this thread to bask in their superior glory....

Yes, Annie, it's only fair that we should count the big mouth lion days if we're playing this game! You and Saudade are the only two people left (I think) who were already here when I came. I don't know which of you was first.
I think our posts over there should count toward our post counts, too, don't you? Though we posted so seldom in those days compared to now. I remember when I was the first one to reach 300 (yes, only two zeroes) on this forum, how people asked me to make a speech! <laughs> Lots of people pass 300 in their first month now. And we thought that was a lot of posts. That is so funny! For a long time I had the highest post count over here on UBB but I was glad when people began to pass me. (There must be a dozen people who have more than me now.) I always felt like it showed only too painfully clearly, just exactly how much of a life I had. I'm very glad to be back in the anonymity of the pack now.
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
Somebody asked me how I got my registration date to show like this. It's a deep dark secret. Only the truly elite can do it. <giggles>

Yep, I've been here since the BML days, and I'm pretty sure my total post count is still below 2,000 when you combine all my screen names. What can I say? Real life keeps intruding.
My first real introduction to Hatrack was when John Hanson soundly rebuked me for some less than wise (or considerate) things that I said about LDS. How young I was . . .
