In an older version of the software when you hovered over your name (profile link) it had an indexed number instead of your name in the URL. JimRob got rid of the because people were using it to pull rank. These days people just say how old they are instead “Hey I’m number 137 and your 2051, so shove it!”

It was actually a good thing to eliminate because there were too many people with that attitude disrupting the conversation. It really was the wild west in the beginning.
