Condor Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 I haven't thought about this in years, but do we still have member numbers??
bongobobny Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 I think so, Jack, but only after the great crash. If you go to the member's profile you will find a link to "this page" with a number on it. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/member.php?43-bongobobny As you can see, my member number is 43, meaning AFTER the great crash of '06 I was the 43rd member to rejoin. In reality, I didn't join until '05, whereas if I recall right, you were already a member before me when I first joined...

I didn't get it to work for me until I removed your handle and went with http://www.venturerider.org/forum/member.php? Then magically my number appeared at the end when I entered the url. 242-Condor. I think I originally joined in '04 or '05 and had quite a few posts by the crash. You accumulate a lot of posts when having problems. My first post like many others was a cry for help right after buying my first Venture. MikeB in San Diego was a big help as well as Hdhtr right here in Carmichael. Surprisingly Steve's office was only a block and a half away.. Never got used to his 'instant' coffee... :-)
videoarizona Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Interesting! I tried that and got this number: 5395758! Hmmm....guess I haven't joined yet...I'm a future member....
XV1100SE Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 If anyone is interested, there are currently 784 members currently
Condor Posted August 7, 2017 Author Posted August 7, 2017 If anyone is interested, there are currently 784 members currently Way down from the good ol' days when there were 2000+. I wonder how many sub-400 members are still hanging in there??

93 venture Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/member.php?89-93-venture I too join before the great crash, i think November 05
mraf Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Where on those pages is a number? I don't see no stinking number.
Condor Posted August 8, 2017 Author Posted August 8, 2017 This is just a thought, but do you have to be logged in???
bongobobny Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Where on those pages is a number? I don't see no stinking number.You will find it on your member profile page in a link. For some reason, when I paste the link on the reply it shows up, but when I post the reply the number disappears from the link. Just look at your profile page and you will see a link a little over halfway down...
bongobobny Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Where on those pages is a number? I don't see no stinking number. Your number is 233...
mraf Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Your number is 233... :scared:Say it isn't so! Why just today a lady driving a caddy told me I was number 1. In fact she was so happy about it, she even stuck her hand out the window so I wouldn't miss it. Bless her heart!
videoarizona Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Hmmm! http://www.venturerider.org/forum/member.php?16429-videoarizona I gave you as 16,429... OK...I see it. Thanks Bob!

OK now I see it.... Like Bob said it's about half way down the profile page under 'This Page' It gives me the URL and at the end is 224-Condor. I was kinda looking for something that said 'member number'. So now I'm older than I thought...

I remember CA had around 180, and Texas was at 228 out west. Surprisingly Canada had around 220. Most of the members were in the Eastern US, and the least was I think Montana or SD with 4. Total was somewhere near 2800. Don't know what ever happened to the map, but I suspect it got eaten during one of the HD crashes...
Freebird Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 The map is still here. Just click "Member Map" in the menu bar.
Condor Posted August 8, 2017 Author Posted August 8, 2017 The map is still here. Just click "Member Map" in the menu bar. Not that one Don. It's one I put together way back in the dark ages. IT was of the U.S. 48 only with color coded states based on the number of members residing in that state. Like 1-50= brown, 51-100= green.... etc. It gave a pretty good look at the member demographics of the board. I did post it but who knows where and when?? Nothing as cool and interactive as the one you have posted now...
Freebird Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Oh...ok....I have no idea where that one is. If we could find the post, I may have it archived. It would be way outdated by now anyway.
