I am not a number...

[TheGreek]

....but is there a way to see how many members there were when I joined?

[jrixn1]

Is it the number at the start of your url?

https://www.basschat.co.uk/profile/11768-thegreek/

So 11768.

He's number 3. Who is number 6 ?

[Reggaebass]

Basschat history, who was the first member?

[Stub Mandrel]

If this is like many forums, there will be lots of 'spam' and 'bot' sign ups that get deleted but probably still increment counters.

Quite possibly. The number in my url is 10414 and I joined earlier the same year.

The number of members at the time anyone joined is the number in the URL of your profile page that comes before your user name.

Regarding the first member even Kiwi is only number 2 so I would assume that number 1 would be whoever did the technical bits for setting up Basschat .

fleabag = 3916

I waited until I was number 6352 and you guys never did work out if that bass was any good for metal!

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

I think #1 is The Matrix/Neo 😉

[LukeFRC]

1409 for me which seems improbably low

[LukeFRC]

also Ped is 3 and the next numbers are 
10 @velvetkevorkian 
12 @obbm

20 @Mickeyboro
21 @BigRedX
22 @Bloodaxe
then google decided they didn't like the way I was finding that out...

Interesting fact.....Apparently Hitler's party number was 555,  not no.1 as you'd expect. This was in fact a phoney ( surprise, surprise !)  as they started numbering from 500 to make themselves appear to be a larger party initially. He was still only member 55 though...

Not that there's any similarities between our Greek friend above and Hitler of course !

I knew eventually someone would bring Hitler into it.

Now you have lost the argument .

I was going to bring up the interesting fact that all the "Founding Fathers" ( if you'll pardon the expression) of the Soviet Union were together at a meeting in a run down house in the East End of London, they held party congresses in london in 1903 1905 and 1907 if I remember correctly...  Stalin very nearly got a good kicking when he tried chatting up an Irish girl on one of these occasions too. He was a fan of the London music hall tho, in his favour.

I won't mention it now

Ps don't know what Stalin's membership no. was either...
