I am ashamed and saddened that the joke, nay, the first thing that popped in my head referencing Number Six was taken by the gentlemen above of me. Even better, his current play list lists my favorite band/artist of the last 16 years or so, while I type in silence not wanting to awaken my wife upstairs...

Good Show.

So, yeah. Where do I fit in the nameless categories? I guess I could go for a 23 or a 5 reference somewhere in deference to my favorite book, but someone else probably quoted Illuminatus! somewhere else that I missed so...

-Edit- Make that two above me. I think too much and type too slow, apparently.

But then whether or not your number was the cardinality of the reals would depend on the continuum hypothesis!

Also, I'd be interested in knowing my number.

Maybe the number could be auto-gen'd and put in everyone's profiles otherwise this thread may become rather long... unless the numbers are somehow influenced by the thread itself...

When are we supposed to know the numbers? I admit it, that thing scares me a bit. If some evil genius starts hacking our numbers to know where we live to murder us/steal stuff from us/kidnap us, then I start wondering if that's a good idea.

If ErikH2000 is really able to give out a number for every forum member based on their personal information, he'll have to use very minimal information, because quite some forum members have revealed very few details. He could be using something like join date, user name, e-mail adress... but that's about as much as he can find out about every member.

Plus if he used a decent hash function on your personal information, nobody would ever find out, trust me.

DROD Numbers for people that asked:

Chaco = 1960
Malorie = 4689
TripleM = 26
Monkey = 2652
Golfrman = 3012
Tuttle = 62
Coppro = 2114
zex20913 = 7
burrs = 4679
RoboBob3000 = 256 (unfortunately, it is not 3000)
bwross = 1169
Chalks = 1175
Sillyman = 3153 (figure the method on your own!)
Samuel = 4145
Dolan42 = 2745
Alneyan = ? (respecting Alneyan's request to not know his own number)
hartleyhair = 4257
techant = 553
Dischorran = 1852
aztcg7 = 1031
Briareos = 1715
slimm tom = 3241
pyr0 = 4674
Daneel = 2735
Syntax = 1283
Jutt = 4125
bdwing = 49
Jeff Ray = ? (Jeff had privacy concerns about his number being revealed)
Schik = 11
Znirk = 1674
MeckMeck GRE = 904 (There are so many uses for the number, it would require a separate enumeration system to track them.)
Jatopian = 1683
JoMax = 2228
Pilchard VIII = 2387
Pinnacle = 558

If a number hasn't already been assigned to you, there is a way that you can pick your own number, but it is unreliable, may involve waiting a long time, and the number you want may be unavailable. All number assignments are permanent. For the rest of your life, you will always have the same DROD Number.

The assigned numbers look an awful lot like the order in which all members registered.

Oh well, I asked for an ordinal, and that's what I got.

I thought the exact same thing...
...my only problem, is:

The number of registered members is in the 4500s...
and though I only registered a few days ago, my number is in the 4600s!

Nothing like single digits.

Also nothing like my DROD number matching my high score ranking.

Does anybody else have that scenario?

Maybe because of banned members who got their accounts deleted. Those made the total number of members decrease while the order numbers did not change.

Given that we have a number of fake/spam forum users, I'm really surprised that the DROD number is higher than the Forum number.

1) Do we have so many lurkers?
2) More than 4600 in less than 4 years! Sounds like a real succes story!

Man, I was expecting something epic. I *know* I'm number 11. And I know a handful of other peoples' numbers off the top of my head. Depends on how much a pain they've been in highscores or other database tables

By the way, my number is ridiculous. It's not even funny.

I'm actually expecting this to blend with the "how many people" thing. And knowing our numbers will allow us to determine something about the fate of the universe.
