I refer to y'all as "my online community" (sometimes illustrating the true nature of the community with tales of the baby and toddler clothing that has been worn by so many of the sprog, which tickles me no end), or "the online discussion board that Daniel and participate in" or more generically, as "online friends/acquaintances".
I'm somewhere in the middle of that range.
Me too, I think. I'll have to look when this posts.
ETA: Yup, mid-300s. Not exactly middle middle. But in the range, at any rate.
Most of the usual suspects are in the 200s and lower. But I'm 1212 (shout out to d who may have signed on, on or about, the same day). Where are the 300 to Elevenses?
As I recall, the first 300 or so were from WX, and registered at the beginning. 400-800 or so registered because joss posted here about Firefly. Stompies would know better.
I think I'm in the 500s. But I didn't register because of Joss, I just got fed up with board I'd been at before. It got invaded by trolls and kids who couldn't spell, so I bailed. I don't remember exactly how I found the board, I think through a recs link by a fic writer that I admired. Maybe? Hell if I know, anymore.

That sounds plausible. I know I came in right at the end of Firefly.
My parents know who you people are. Heck, my parents came to the Seattle f2f! And there are times I suspect my parents are secretly lurking here.

Jilli! If your Mom is reading, I HAVE TO STOP TALKING ABOUT STUFF INVOLVING THINGS AND YOU KNOW!
Ahem.
The 400-800 range was so long ago, I forget now. I'm 13. I like my user number.
I'm 805
No way?!! You don't look a day over 500!
(Sorry, sorry, had to be done.)
I guess I’d hoped to feel less lonely in my quirky lurkerdom.
Aw, mate - I think you're just one of the ballsier lurkers. I think the other lurkers are more determined in their lurkage, bless 'em.
Somehow 9 people managed to register between us.
