Usually the first account is an admin account that is used strictly to set up the forum. The second account might have belonged to someone that helped Doug set everything up or to a test "member status" account to make sure everything functioned properly for normal members.

Either way, when you look at the list of member #'s, Doug is the first member on the list, so whatever other accounts there were, they got deleted.

You think DR is old? In my youth, we never had to worry about hypothermia - the earth hadn't cooled yet...

Ha ha ha, just what I needed hikermor. Thanks for the laugh.

Sybert, just wait. It'll happen to you soon enough. One day you'll look in the mirror and notice the grey hair in your beard or on your head. Or you'll be wondering where the hair on your head went to. And wishing you had it back. Your time will come. laugh

I am just under 4k but I didn't create an account until 2008. I have been reading the forums since 2003. BUT, my REI member number is six digits. lol.

Keep in mind, there was a point when just about everyone had to sign back up due to a server failure. Can't even find my original user name on the list.

Wow, I don't remember that event and I'm #120, joined in 2002. *sigh* I see some names on the list of very good people who no longer post here. frown Luckily all you newbies* are pretty smart and excellent replacements. smile

-Blast, trying to figure out how he became an old-timer

*newbies defines as anyone with a member number bigger than 200. grin
