Every 1000 members or so, posters fit into a somewhat specific category.

0-1000: Founders- Key members of the boards, been here the longest, a great deal of them have met each other in real life numerous times. Varied personalities, but tend to get along with each other very well. Ex: Drysart, Jaggedpine, Fal, Khyron, Karnaj, Suchii.

1001-2000: Old skool- Though not as long a history as the Founders, these are among the most well-established, popular members of the boards. Some are lurkers, others misfits, but mainly tolerated on the boards to a great degree. Ex: Myself, Bajah, Densetsu, Sentow, Parcelan, Mightion, Synjari.

2001-3000: Settlers- Middle of the range. Many still don't fit in, but some have become valued members of the boards. Ex: Rodent King, Nekralt Avaane, Death of Rats, Leckie, Gydyon, Nem-X, Janus

3001-4000: Visitors- Most are lurkers, others misfits, some have tried to fit in but fail. Some with great talent have fit in, miraculously. Others are alts made for some purpose. Some are people who have been banned but have returned. Ex: Aurywoof, MorbId, Gomateux, Alek Saege, Kirane, Dark_Nemesis, Delphi, Delid, Waisz, Liam

4001+ Victims: Fresh meat, essentially. None are known well enough to make lasting impressions, some are just alts of other board members for the upcoming war. Ex: Twitch, K_Kid, Amarys, Caldur Ral'Nyn, Hatazaru Gitiza, Tralina, Pathos

Agree? Or do you think people don't really fit into any group depending on when they joined? Just noticing general trends. What would really be great is a log on active members, the order in which they joined and the like.

Couldn't find any of your posts before you were banned, so I couldn't place ya, sorry. That, and I can't do that symbol thingy.

It'd probably be better to categorize people based on personality and board habits than numbers.

It's nice to be old skool, though

Caldur isn't actually a newbie. He used to be Old Hickory.

But that was a long time ago.

And I wouldn't place myself with the founders. But the sad thing is that the true founders, Mysti, Pips, Saraiah, Cernus, etc, are gone now.

No joke, FOO!

Call me freshmeat, will you. Just because a person gets banned a time or two, or changes thier name, does NOT make them a newbie.

And just because you yourself, are a halfassed lurker, does NOT make you an authority on who is who, and who is a nobody.

BTW, My original account number was somewhere in the low 1K range.

See above, can't tell who is who on some people. Don't think I really classify as a lurker as I post daily, though I don't exactly camp the boards. Like I said, I wish I had a list of everyone's names and when they joined. This is from recent posts and who's online
