The Member Number Thread

Place the cursor over the name of a milepoint.com member and one notices the member number at the bottom left corner of the browser window. My member number, for example, is 57.

However, although there are currently 614 members registered to milepoint.com, the latest milepoint.com member has the number of 686. What happened to the other 72 members?

Also, who is milepoint.com member number 1? It must be someone on the administrative staff...

RP?

105

Nope, RP is number 7
Mikel is number 4.

Who's number 1?

"I am number 2."

*rimshot*

Admin Tim is number 3. Getting closer.

Now, although there are currently 636 members registered to milepoint.com, the latest milepoint.com member has the number of 710. Why did the discrepancy number jump from 72 to 74, and what happened to the other members?

Ooooh.. I wish I hadn't been in a meeting when we launched... I'm 40.

But member number 2 tries harder.

This is not the member you are looking for.

One

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

Well hello.

88 here. I wish I wasn't on a FLL-DCA flight on US Airways for sooo many reasons

Hah! The guy with the newborn bests both of the people I celebrated the launch with. Number 24, thank you very much.

Enjoy your maternity leave Oh, and thanks for the Champagne yesterday

Yeah, newborn, hanging at home, hittin' refresh on the beta link. Some of us work for a living!

You're welcome. My man boobs are still a bit sore.

Sour grapes coming from the guy piling on the status points.....

It's called generating content, buddy!

I'm number 2. Twice. Hence 22.

I would be in the hundreds... if I was traveling. #71 (sigh)

Wow! how did i end up with a lower number than you. I am 62. Though i don't envy you one bit for being on a US Airways flight. I can only imagine how bad it was for you.....

My flight took of at the time the site came up, I was held hostage by Doug Parker for over two hours

Oh, well, at least you're responsible for filling up the DO in Seattle next weekend

Now, although there are currently 671 members registered to milepoint.com, the latest milepoint.com member has the number of 748. Why did the discrepancy number jump from 72 to 74 to 77, and what happened to the other members?

I feel like I am on one of those escalators where the rubber handrail speed is different from the actual escalator itself...

I'd guess there are two reasons:

1) Test users that have been deleted. For instance, members 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 11 don't exist.
2) People who have signed up but not yet confirmed probably use a slot but don't count as a member yet.
