Now that I've joined the brotherhood of question-answerers, I thought I'd put my OCD to use by making up a little simple list for informative purposes, so I went profile hunting. If any of you guys remembers what date you signed up to become a member, please post a reply here so I can add the date to your line in the file. Thanks muchly, any suggestions are also welcome. Oh, and if you want the file, let me know. I can e-mail or AIM it to you. The .txt that is, which looks a lot better than it will pasted here (damned tab-removal):

Let's see if this looks any better. It may not, but hopefully it'll at least separate the numbers out a bit on the right side of each row:

Where is/How to? Member ID .... NG username ........... NG user ID .... NG date ....... Wi/Ht? date

Heh, got mine already ;). I don't think you needed a new topic for this, but anyway.

I subtracted 22 days from 4/18 and arrived at what I thought was the answer. Though with your time zone, I wasn't certain. #;-}>

Anyway, like I said, for informative purposes. i.e. someone changes their name, someone else wants to find their profile, bam, there's the userID so they don't have to worry about finding posts by them or anything... or say, someone wants to know who the members are that aren't posting much anymore, bam... there's the list. Didn't really fit in with the flow of Level Up! either, I didn't think. But anywho, if no one else notices the list after a couple hours, I'll say something in level up about it soon.

Yeah, I see your point. Comment withdrawn. Anyway, I just executed an investigation of my joining date, and I came up with the 28th of March. I'm 95% sure that's the correct answer, as I wrote the 36 day thing in my profile the day it was achieved. So unless I counted wrong just then, 28 March is my sign up date.

Hell yeah, you can do that easily enough! Just don't go spamming like that _duffman_ wanker (see sig).

It's taken me since the 7th of April to get up to 1492. I don't think you can call that spamming by any stretch of the imagination. #;-}>

I just don't know if I'll get the posts I need tonight or not. :::goes out for a late dinner::: we shall see... 1 hour, 36 minutes remain, the night is young!

sorry i have no idea when i joined me be spancker knows =P

I could find out my sign-up date to the club, but that would mean trawling through many posts and quite frankly, i don't think i could be bothered.

Actually, it wasn;t that hard finding my sign-up date to the club/crew. I did a quick search on of the BBS and the date i signed up was on the second page on my search. It seems pretty long ago and it was on the 17th page of the 'level up' topic. The date was: 2/15/03.

Do you have to be able to help people, or just try.

well if most of the time it isn't try you cant join of course why??

Heh i rember when i had the vote for arrow's to join but then he kept getting banned so i thought ill wait for him to start helping and coming round again but it never happened....

Do we still vote or do you just pick who you like now. Just curious.

I only do that if i definatly want them but i usally hold votes as most of you know also NGling if your reading care to reconsider?
I mean you dotn have to go put of your way as you help no matter what your a great candidate....

Also some guy kept bugging me for the rules so here they are....

Rules
Must have over 20 posts (In any board, better chance if in where is/how to)
Must have the desire to help (Want to help people)
Must visit the forum regularly (At least 3 times a week)
Members can only be in 4 maximum clubs (No club whores!)
Must have experience on the board (About 3 weeks)
Information and help given out must be accurate
Don’t discuss where to get Rom’s, serial numbers or flash for free (illegal you could be banned plus we get in shit with NG)

Anything member think should be added or abolished please contact me and ill see to it that it will be considered....

Im truly touched but may i ask why you wont join our club....
(I will reply at a later time as i must sleep now...)

I think he basically answered that when he said "If I were into joining clubs..", thereby implying that he's not.

Anyway, it's a real shame. I considered Newgrundling as one of the most valuable potential members to the club in all of NG. I guess it's not really a huge loss though, he does still help people out, he's just not formally a member of the club.

heh i have a cs clan that needs to be spammed up alot but im easying off of that site and now my presence have come to the far wether lands of The Where Is?/ How To? section. prepare for my helpness!!!! muahahahaha. er sry dramatic entrance yea i know ill shut up now :X.

So does that mean your gonna stop spamming and go back to your CS clan? :-p

Thanks for the quick research. #;-}>

I find it quite amazing, though I have looked through some of the old pages of levelup before I start posting in it... that after being created in the fall, by midFebruary it only had 17 pages, and then two months later, it has 115. heh... what a rapid expansion.

As he said, he just won't join any clubs. But then again, I'm the same way, even when it comes to clubs about things I enjoy and like quite a lot, but... I made an exception for Wi/Ht? because I felt it was worthwhile, and the only worthwhile one to join at that.

In any event, he helps us out. Let us consider him an ally to the cause, at least. #;-}>

Anyway, come on, peops, this offtopic tangent is quite interesting, but no one but Mr James and leeboy has given me their Wi/Ht? membership date. Lightning doesn't remember, at least, he said to ask you, Spancker. Got any idea? Even if it's just which page of level up it was on, or thereabouts, I could take a look. I suppose I should just read the whole topic through at some point. heh.

Any one else? hmph. updated, with an attempt to make the list look better in the crappy font this will come out with. Let's see how it looks this time (will change the numbers of ....s again to fine tune... but hopefully this will be at least closer to making the right portion of the list in more even columns):

A'ight. Cool cool, I should be able to find out you and Drimarki's membership dates at least, and that'll just leave Recon, TF, Xkwizit, and lightning.

there's the full list, complete with everyone's membership signup date, hopefully accurate. In compiling all the dates, I just spent a few hours reading pages 1-24 of levelup while watching TV and trying to keep up on the portal as well. As far as I can tell, I've got the dates correct. The relevant pages, BTW, are:

17 - 1 and 2 (spancker and drimarki)
18 - 3 and 4 (Recon, you actually joined up 3 days later, and then leeboy finally relented and said okay, too, the day after)
23 - 5 (mentioned that it happened the previous day via e-mail I assume)
24 - 6 and 7 (mentioned by spancker, can't tell what day it happened, assumed the same day he posted)
72 - 8 (yep, you were right, James)
108 - 9 (well duh, I know my own signup date #;-}>)

LAST TRY to make it look good in this font, final shot at it for now (till a new member signs up or someone corrects me on something in this list):

U know that membership list could grow a bit dont u think ppl

well, it did just recently when I joined up last week. And Spancker wants to add a 10th member, so we'll see.

But if you look at the dates, since February, there's only been two new members, so it's pretty much become kinda a once a month type thing.
