    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’m 163xxx and joined November of 1997.

    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.
    I don't know if this is the reason but it is true. I don't know it by heart and it is easier to type 435*** than it is 435 something something something.

    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. 
    I would just like to know , why? It's not like it's a password , we never need to know it except for bitchfest reasons,

    I know mine by heart (always had a good memory for numbers, could remember everybody's phone number back when we actually had to dial rather than go to a contact list), plus its only 5 digits so not that difficult.
    I honestly think the xxx thing started because folks were treating them like a SS number and were afraid of some kind of sabotage if their number got into nefarious hands.
    And Rollings, thanks for the stuff I just ordered from 10C that your member number paid for. Needed some new hoodies, t-shirts and a slip mat. Too bad no dog collars anymore.

    Its been mentioned, but it is in no way a security thing.  It is the fact that the last 3 numbers are almost completely insignificant.  I know I am in the 318XXX range, which narrows it down to much less than 1% of the membership and adequately slots me in on any list.   

    I have no clue what the last 3 numbers are.  If I did, I would have no problem listing them.  I never look up my number, so I never see the last 3 digits.  I just know Im in the 318,000s, which is all the information needed and anyone cares about.

    I think that your member number may have been your initial password a long time ago.
