Why is it so taboo to not reveal one's full PJ membership number?

Why is it any more sacred than say, my user name?

    I believe that most people don't remember their whole number, but the 1st part of it is easy.  I wouldn't even try to guess what comes after my first 3 numbers.

    How long have you been a member to be in the 100000s?
    Is it known if there are many active members under 100000?

    I'd have to think a lot of people have moved on as they've grown up and started families, as much as they love(d) the music.

    I assumed that it was kind of like any other account number that you wouldn't want to give out. 

    What I don't get is on in the Lost Dogs section of the forum, when people sell items, they will edit the post to delete the sold price, or hide the AP number of a poster.

    The lights just flickered. 

    Noah just sailed down the middle of the street on a massive drowning wave...it...wait...I think I ate something spicy before bed. Turns out it was all a dream. 

    As for me, 515🧀🧀🧀 . :smiley:

    I think we are all programmed to overshare except for a number useful to no one.

    My number is 89xxx. I joined Ten Club in 1994. I don’t post a lot on this message board. I got burned out on other PJ and Car forums back in the 90s... I know plenty of sub 100k numbers of people who still have memberships. Much lower numbers than mine...

    And to the original poster, I think most people don’t list their entire fan club number for fear of some sort of identity theft/subterfuge. During certain ticket permutations the low numbers were worth their weight in gold. Like 2003 for instance because of the ‘block system’ they were using at that time to pick tickets. 

    Today, I’m just killing time until they tell me my seat locations... good luck everybody.
