What's it like to be a freeper with a 100,000+ sign on number?

All you newbies whose screen number is over 100,000 (plus infinity, or minus a couple thousand), this thread is for you. What's it like to be 'new' here? Are you welcomed? What do you think of FR? Do you feel 'part of the gang'? This thread is for you. Lay it on us.

32 isn't OLD!!!

Just..'run in' *L*

[RobRoy]

I am seeing no number in the "in forum" link. Where, specifically is it located?

[nopardons]

ROTFLMSO!

If I hadn't lurked for 8 months and joined right away,just think what my number would have been. :-)

5041 is the number of replies that YOU posted. i.e your posts.

Good luck to yall, I'll keep my options open on that invite!

When I change the ID#, it shows me the freeper associated with that #. For example, ID#2 comes up (unknown) and ID#3 comes up 'Eric'. Does (unknown) mean that the freeper is no longer active, ie., hasn't posted since a certain reprogramming a few years ago, or does it mean that that freeper is banned and no longer allowed to post?

Also, is there any fast way (short of entering #s 1 - 110,000 or whatever) to know how many ID#s now come up as (unknown)?

I'm just a newbie here and still can't find the number of posts, etc. Welcome to my fellow newbs.

Same here, Problem is I was running my own site and hanging out at Talkspot.com with James Golden (AKA B0 Snerdly) and Steve Malzberg. I manged to meet both gentlemen, I still keep in touch with Golden and I ran Malzberg's website for a while. Didn't have that much time left for FR. I finally jumped in right before the election in 2,000 because I saw what was coming and did all those lonely FReeps with other FReepers in Times Square during the Florida debacle. I am still waiting for my check, the media kept telling me I was part of a paid mob.

6220, what did you want to know?

[Nam Vet]

Nevermind, I just found it. Actually started posting the year before but forgot my PW (embarrassed) and had to rejoin. Whatever, this has been a most enjoyable and informative site! Thanks again JimRob. (and welcome, again, all fellow Newbies)

Like you,I was also on a couple of other sites,but certainly was NOT running any of them.

THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL! LOL

[Cacique]

Yeah you got four months on me in that regard.

[lavrenti]

If I had gotten off my butt in 1998 (when I first lurked--the "Quidam" theads were a hoot) I would have been one of the granpas.

Instead, I'm the indignant uncle.

And excellent posts they were. Thanks for point that out. The part about them being posts and not replies I mean. Wow, 5041 is a lot of posts. I'm on here too much.

Seems just like yesterday. Time dilation I guess. As you get older the days seem to go as fast as minutes did when you were younger. I could swear that a week seemed like a year when I was 10. Now I blink and the damn month is gone.

[farmfriend]

You and I started the same month. I lurked for a while before I started posting. I started posting during the Klamath protest. The Grange was deeply envolved. Though most don't seem to know about it.

[nopardons]

Very true........very true indeed.

A months feels like a year to a 10 year old,but a year feels like a day,when you reach a certain age.
