Reassigning/Adjusting 10 Club Member Numbers

Dead Man Walking

cool, and how do I find my join date? I'm not sure when I joined...

When you joined doesn't necessarily correspond to your member number. There was a time when if you bought something from 10c you were assigned a number if you weren't a member and then if you joined later that number was activated. Think it was stopped though

Was comparing numbers with a friend and because he had bought something from 10c before joining the fan club his number is 80,000 better than mine even though he joined 8 months later so join date may not help you work out where you sit in the membership. Someone could have joined after you but be in front of you in membership number.

Guess it's good for me that shows are GA in Europe

Joining this board and joining 10C are two separate entities no :?:

I didn't join this board till 05 but i was a paying member of 10C SINCE 93 Hence my low ###

yeah, it says i joined here in 03, even though i know i joined the forums before that, and i joined the ten club in 99, so you can't go off the date under your avatar and forum name

EDIT: Also, i don't know if i'm either for or against the idea of getting rid of all inactive numbers and reassigning numbers. it's not a bad idea, but it doesn't really make a difference. but i fail to see what possible confusion it could lead to, as said earlier. you just get a new number, a number that closer represents your standing in the 10c against other active members. if anything it would clear things up a little. might make the people with numbers in the 400,000s feel a little better about themselves if they get bumped up into the 200,000s or something.

Very strange indeed.....i'm about 21,270. I have noticed throughout my membership that my seats have been getting better.

That's also a pretty amazing number. They are at near 500,000 now. As the years go on, I might be a couple of rows better, but it's nothing great. In fact when my seats were "worse" a few years ago, I got better seats on the side of the stage. Now I am stuck on the middle of the floor, always behind some really tall guy, with some overweight guy on one side of me, and some drunk guy who spills his beer on me and goes "Woooh" way too much on the other side.

But wouldn't that number just be registered forum users? When you join ten club I don't think you are automatically signed up for the forum, I think you would have to then go to the forum and sign up?? So I'm sure there would be many ten club members who have never been on the forum, I know of a few in my circle of friends who never have, and I'm sure there are thousands that maybe haven't either. Not everyone likes or uses forums. Plus there are the members in it for tickets alone who probably don't care to come here and spout bullshit endlessly. So I don't think we can go off forum members as a true figure of ten club members.

You are automatically given that basic username. All paid members are in there whether they have ever been on the boards or not.

I like it, but I'm happy either way.

I'm still skeptical of that figure. It lists people that have joined in 1970. Now I'm not sure if the ten club was around in 1970, but I'm sure as hell the interwebs were not.

The join dates have never been accurate on this site. I don't even know what order that list is actually in.

I don't care if they actually change numbers but it would be cool if when you looked in your profile it would look like this:

Member # 164xxx -- 5,000 out of 85,063

Looking at those pages just reminds me that I had such a better number prior to allowing my membership to lapse. I was in the double digits now I am in the 200's.

Very cool...

284XXX = 28965/80638

Top 36th Percentile

It will be interesting to track this as the year unfolds to see if older, long-standing members drop out...

I like this idea...it would be nice to move my crappy # up a few notches...

That's exactly how I would like it. That way we keep our original number. It's been with us so long.

I wish the join date listed under our usernames really reflected our 10C join date and not just the date we registered for the forums. I don't see anyway that you can glean any information from that group list. The Registered Users group is most likely comprised of all people registered for the forums and those who have bought something through the site and have a login associated with that. Then the Paid Members group is a subset of that larger group. I assume there are members of the Ten Club that have never registered for the forums or bought anything on the site.

It can easily been done. Every paid member who joins is assigned one of those generic usernames to login with whether they go on the message boards or not.

Get_Right

a novel idea

But really, Id rather those slackers focused on other things such as getting the single out on time, god forbid a new DVD, and finalizing whatever the heck it is they are thinking about doing this year.

I cant see them lifting a finger for this when Tim has made it clear he wants the number of members to remain unknown.

Of course it CAN be done, however, I don't think it was done. Just look at the fact that most of our join dates are no where close to when we actually joined the club. I've been a continuous paying member since '98 and my join date says 2008 which is most likely when I registered for the forums. If they were creating generic usernames for all paying members regardless of forum usage, then I think I and all the others who were members of the Ten Club prior to the forums would have been assigned a username and had our join dates set to the date when they did the mass creation.

From the 11/17/10 PJ Radio Round Table Discussion:

9. A lot of people speculate about how many active 10C members are there right now.

*amused laughter*

TR: "If Tim told you we'd have to come to Lansing and do something about you."

TB: "It's one of those things that we keep really close to our vest here. We're not gonna ballpark it. We don't want to have to say that 10C has X amount of members and DMB has X amount of members and U2 has x amount of members because we feel like it's apples and oranges and I know that your intention is one of purely "What are my tickets going to be like?" but if that number starts to get out there in the world it starts to become more a business thing and a marketing thing and a really gross kind-of way of looking at you guys. If I were to say that there were 20 zillion members of 10C then somebody would come along and say "Hmmm. There's 20 zillion pieces of meat that I can't wait to put on my skewer."

"I'm not saying that we're doing it to protect you guys by any means, but it feels gross to look at it like that. But I fully understand your line of questioning because it really does matter to you guys and where you sit at the shows.

Not saying this is how I feel about the idea, just referencing for the purposes of this thread it since I remember that being discussed during the first show.

i think this would only make it worse for people ...

so ... your member number drops from 300000to 65001 ... you're still in the same relative spot ... but now you know there are exactly 65,000 plus people ahead of you ...

Well they aren't doing a very good job of hiding that info considering we can access it right here.

I think that answer was to not allow non paying members to know the answer.

Think I am missing something here. How do we exactly find out where we are? My member number is 182xxx. How would I locate that in the paid members group?
