Well it's not far away and the counter will bust the 30.K line...
congratulations Malcolm and HoP!
But I observe members with no's past 30K already... what's this about? Is member number 29.999 taken already?
Should it be possible to trade HoP member no's? *gg*

I think the difference in numbers of members compared to user numbers is down the the ninja alien squirrels. They are slowly but surely capturing our HoP members whilst they are distracted poi-ing and staffing in the park. They pin the said HoPper down and suck out their brains with a straw, fashioned from a reed or a hollowed out twig. Once the member has lost his/her brain the squirrels force them to come and delete their membership on HoP so that they cannot come back and warn the rest of us of the dangers!
*nods wisely*
Always remember to be vigilant. Beware of Squirrels!

I think it may also have something to do with people's accounts being removed/deleted after a whiles.

Glad there's no squirrels in Aus. It's bad enough having possums with their evil, beady little eyes - I'm sure they're up to something but I'm just not quite sure what

I think FRD is closer than you Skully, sorry!
But your version is, admittedly, funnier.

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Well, unusual idea, but I don't see why. I mean, it shows when you joined, and shows others basically, that you have a rank, that cannot be changed, but increases as tiem passes. In my opinion; no, but not my choice.

How is FRD's any closer than mine? I had accounts being deleted too..... just by zombified people made to do it by the Ninja Alien Squirrels. FRD just sounds like he is saying the same but that maybe Mods deleted them........
The mods are Ninja Alien Squirrels!....... I wonder how they do all that typing with such tiny little paws..... hmmmmmm that's a puzzle.

would it scare you to know that there's only ever been one squirrel (or "ninja alien squirrel" as you call him). he's actually the "ninja alien QUANTUM squirrel" and is able to be in multiple places at once. he got into a fight with a dog in his later years and his tail's all f'ed up when you see him sometimes, but it's the same squirrel.
also, his name's rupert and he likes cheetos. you should feed him some someday. he might just tell you his crazy story...

How is it that my Member Number is higher than the total amount of registered members? (0.o) Banned people perhaps?

Someone should do a FAQ about this....
Daiz: RTFT!
Nowait.. thats not right.
It is due to problems emmigrating the member profiles from the old message board to the "off a shovel" board you see today.
I think.

i would assume that the member number is a primary key in the hop user database... each number can only be used once.. EVER! so there may be less than 30,000 ACTIVE users in the database, but there have been many more who have joined and subsiquently left or who's account has been inactive for so long that it's been removed, the number cannot be reused!
Generally all entries posted to a datbase are never deleted, they are either archived or marked as inactive and therefor do not appear in any queries.
