does your profile say 2001 and shows you as #322?
Must be something wrong with the system I am using. It shows me as #57,743. I remember a few DUers who are no longer with us for reasons of pizza. Perhaps they were still being counted on another system when you registered.

At the very end of the URL there's a number. Subtract the first one, and that'll give you your number. :)

31. Not really. It was a 'hole in the wall' compared to now. |

A small site with the Lounge on the main floor as the big attraction for many. It has since been moved downstairs and to the Left. Now the noisy chatter can be heard all over the neighborhood. DU has made the notice of the big time as an up and comer. A site to keep an eye on. Somebody is doing something correct. BTY, DU got started because gwbu$h "won" in 2000.

There's a huge difference in the "feel" of the place, but it still acts as a think tank on its best days. :hi:

According to that I was the 702nd person to join. I know I was here from close to the beginning, but Damn!
on edit: Nope, that's right. Post 19 ( I think ) is right about on target. Man, I need to post more!

I lurked for a few weeks and actually joined during the time of Paul Wellstones' death in 2002. Skinner had the place locked down for members only, so the only way I could keep up with things was to actually become a member. :)

24. no numbers listed when I joined |
|
began reading in late 01, posting in the first week of 02.
I remember when the "count" regarding members was added as a feature - remember when it rolled from 10,000 t0 11,000 (or perhaps it was 9K to 10K) and a 'computuer glitch' occured - that erased a block of posts and the rollover to the landmark of members numbers - and the repeat of the rollover to the landmark (for example - went back from 11,002 to 10,900... and new members joining didn't happen nearly as quickly as they do today.)

35. Back in 2002, when I first joined, there were something like 12000. |
|
I was away for a while, and forgot my password, so I created this account in 2003, when there were about 28000 registered members.
