Re: Official OS Member # Thread

#1 guy is probably they guy who founded the website, which for those who don't know, Steve didn't found this website, it was another guy who did.

Anyway I want to know how many of the original 100 is still on this website ? When you think about it 12 years is a long time.

Yea, but Steve's been running it the whole time these forums have been used. They used different forum software over the years. This forum goes back to 2002, but the site has been around longer than that.

...Are there really 10 million people on OS?

Yep. If you're ever sent to the cell, you might notice thousands of skulls. Not everyone made their way back... you don't wanna go there...

Uh, as of five seconds ago I gathered this from the bottom of the front page of the forums:

Members: 177,533

Not quite 10 million.

Not quite 10 million.

So there should be about 800,000 banned members

Well, one of the newest member is listed as member #10,075,481 while it says there are currently 177,533 members which only accouts for 1.76% of the 10,075,481. One could assume that the 177,533 only counts active members. However, it seems improbable that if 10,075,481 people have actually registered then 98.24% of those people have since been banned. Assuming registration began on 7/17/2002 then 2908 days have passed since people began registering for this forum. If the figure of 10,075,481 is correct then that comes out to approximately 3465 new members per day or 2.4 new members per minute. Without knowing anything about computer programming or web design, my best guess would be that at some point there was a large influx of spambots or some other sort of event that generated an large number of new users which were later banned.

So there should be about 800,000 banned members

More like 9,897,948

LOL 9,897,948 banner members.

I'd say 9,000,000 were from the Madden and NBA fourms.

Re: Official OS Member # Thread

I figured it out. Something happened on March 9, 2009

If you go under "Quick Links" and select "Member list" and go to page 3081 showing results 92,401-92,430 of 147,328. I found in the following order this string of members (most of who have 0 posts)

cbrew1201 # 108,629
TheDeadit # 108,631
Circurne #1,000,000
Mephoomma #1,000,001
Sebbe34 #1,000,002
BrandasanatanaK #1,000,003
Makydisaadari #1,000,004
Halo21 #9,999,992
petete #9,999,993

Perhaps a mod or admin could shed some light on this anomaly.

Correct, this is at least the 3rd forum software OS has used. I've been here since 99 or 2000. When I defected from the everything else sports IGN forum with urging from Shredder and Cookusu, amongst others.

I first joined OS in 2000 back when we had the black and gold forums but that does leave me wondering.... what exactly happened to Cookusu anyway?

I don't know what happened exactly, but things have happened.

I know there was a time we hit some ridiculous number of Users Online at the same time which I believe exceeded the number of registered users on the site. I bet there's a connection somewhere.

How that happened? No clue.

I have way too many posts considering how little time I've been here.
