 Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11573 | You are, but the member ID 666 belongs to someone else  ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11573 | There are three ways to look at this: 1. The member ID. This is an internal identifier used to represent the user in the database backend. You can see this ID in the URL when you view someone's profile. 2. The overall number of members. This is what you referred to. This number is always lower or equal than the member ID, because of account deletions. You are the 692nd person to register, but the 666th member currently. 3. The member list. That list has different ways of sorting it (by registration date, by name, by number of posts). The numbering there represents a member's ranking in the 'hierarchy' currently shown. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! ----- Edited by Mr Creosote at 18:58 on August 23rd, 2009 |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11573 | Well, you are number 666 on this list - and that is very unlikely to change ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Bachelor Gumby Posts: 73 | Thanks, i know But as i like Master of Orion 1&2 and Masters of the Universe, too i thought that moo2 is more suiteable for me. You know "mootwo" - "motu" - "Masters of the Universe" By the Way. It is great to name the Player in moo "skeletor" and then win the game. "skeletor" Master of the Universe and Master of Orion I just bought moo 1&2 at gog.com. Great games, even after all the time ----- Never be afraid to try something new.

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11573 | It's never really explained who the "Masters of the Universe" are in that series anyway, is it? So it might as well be Skeletor and his gang!

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11573 | Yes, but that is because your posts are being recounted after posting. If you change your name again now, your post count will be reset to 1 temporarily again before the self-healing process kicks in ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |
