I just noticed that TalkGraphics.com registered members has recently hit the 20,000(+) mark. Wooo-hoooo! Congratulations to TalkGraphics.com and everyone who contributes to making this one of the best forums on the internet and such a great place to hang out. :cool:
So, does anyone know who the lucky 20,000th member was?
Here's to many more,
Cheers!!!,
Harry
Member #20,000 was EvilSanta who registered on June 18th
So EvilSanta is bestowed the dubious honor.
I'm glad I asked. Plus I found out that I'm TG member #16651. I never really noticed before. Not that it matters all that much. :rolleyes:
Thanks for the info,
Steve
How did you find that out, Harry?

Hi,
Congratulations to the lucky person.
My U=4320 I guess
Jim
Mine is 1394 even though I had registered in 2004. :eek:
Wha..? I thought there were like 100,000+ members registered :\Quote:

Anybody have an even earlier one?
u=273 :rolleyes:
The lowest existing user is #2: http://www.talkgraphics.com/member.php?u=2
Funny thing is, he's registered 04 March 2004. :D
So, I think the free numbers can be reused with new accounts. :)
1889 here - registered 3rd Jan 2001.

#581 and registered 26 November 2000. I was a lurker before that :D
My first post: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=3891
thats really cool, I'm 2901, I never noticed that before, learn something new every day.
The only way that I can get my ID number anywhere near that low is to convert it to hexadecimal ... 4320 (17184 decimal) :D
Mine is 81... However I think Gary had some problem with his inscription at this time because logically he should be "1" !Quote:

Curtis, you just have to think outside the conventional and use a base 17184 numbering system. See, now you're number 1. ;)Quote:

Wouldn't that make him 10 in base 17184, not 1 ?Quote:

Hmmm, you're probably right, Chris. In my defense, I'm not used to base 17184 numbering systems and more than a 'bit' fuzzy on doing the calculations in my head. Yeah, right. :D That's my story, though, and, like hair in a biscuit, I'm sticking to it. ;)Quote:

Exactly! I have 1394 registered in 2004, and the guy with #2 (two!) is registered in 2004. So I would'nt rely on those numbers. They are not quite what we expect them to be. :)
There have been at least two 'migrations' of the member database and the forum software.
When i-u/s was bought by a company that was not interesting in continuing the forums Xara Group sponsored the forums on an InfoPop server located in California.
When the California company was unable to handle the size of the member database. We were experiencing downtime and often were unable to attach imges when the forums were available. Xara Group began hosting the forums on servers in England and vBulletin became the forum software.
I would think that during the move from i-u/s to an InfoPop system some member numbers were freed for use by new users. Probably the same occured during the move from InfoPop to vBulletin.
There was another move a few months ago of the servers but without a change in forum software. The servers hosting Talkgraphics are now located in Berlin. Presumably on MAGIX servers.
