In reply to donsr (msg # 66):

My UI is 1224.

Earlier in the thread we determined that that roughly translates to summer 2003, sometime around July/August so with a ui of 437 you're looking at early 2003

I would guess 437 is closer to 2000-2001, taking into account that RPoL signups probably started out really slow and ramped up exponentially. Also, BBR is 369 and has been here since almost the very beginning.

UI=369 translates to June 2002 (I know this because I created an account to transfer a game from another site, so I had (until fairly recently) a record of when I started posting here).  So 437 would be, at a guess, mid- to late-2002.

If I read it right, mine is 74365.

I joined at least as far back as 2015, but I'm pretty sure it was well before that.

Some time before 23 Oct 2005, which is as close as it gets that far back I'm afraid.

Re: How to find out how long you have been on RPoL

My bio line says November 29, 2013. How accurate is that? I honestly don't know how I got that date...

Re: How to find out how long you have been on RPoL

Pretty accurate ... the system says "13:48, Thursday, 28 November 2013" but the slight discrepancy might be due to time differences.

Re: How to find out how long you have been on RPoL

I'm up in Canada, so the server's time should be pretty close to me then.

Still, it's interesting to see that I was pretty close in my idea of when I joined.

Really?! I didn't know that. Although I vaguely remember jase saying something to that effect on the last server change. My memory is very faulty on such tidbits of trivia. ;p

Re: How to find out how long you have been on RPoL

I joined I think in 2001 or 2002. I was pretty loyal to Play by Web before that. But over time most of it's players migrated here. I can't find the original email as I no longer have that service (as it was bought out then deleted by the new owners).

Re: How to find out how long you have been on RPoL

I just worked out the cut-offs by trial and error:

  • If your userid is less than or equal to 27662 then start date will show as "Before 08:00, Sun 23 Oct 2005"
  • If your userid is between 27663 and 42226 then start date will show as "Before 10:53, Sat 05 May 2007"
  • If your userid is greater than or equal to 42227 then the actual start date will be listed
