So there has been some "static " noted lately about Moparts Post counts.
On that subject I discovered this checking mine.
There are over 25,000 Moparts members.
I am number 17 in active ranking.
There are 13 that have greater post counts that have not posted in months/years.
The Highest post count is 104,000+
About 14 members active/inactive in the top 30 range from 29,000 to 25,000 post counts.
Approx average daily post counts of those 13 inactive is approx 3.7 or a total approx daily missing post count of 48 posts.
Enjoy. scope

I'm the 31st person to get on this version of the board in 2003, but have been here since 1997. Right after Al Gore invented the internet, we got a computer in 97. The very first word I typed into the search box was Mopar....lol. First thing I found was Moparts and have been here ever since. up

Was that just the mopar discussion board?

You had a for sale only site before the discussion started, right?

Seems like a remember this place a little before Fall 1996.

Yes Oct of 96 started with just parts pages , then a forum after that

Which puts us older than Google , Altavista search back then

Many different servers over the years trying to keep up with the traffic

I was at the Dallas Mopar Board and when that collapsed we all came over here.

My 20 year was last year!

Glad to see this part of the old Internet is still alive boogie


I was asked to contribute money to help solve the civil unrest in Egypt, but I suspect it's some sort of pyramid scheme.

Over 20 years for me, too. Still haven't finished my projects. What a surprise...

Seem to have lost my Master Fishbulb title somewhere down the line...

It'll be twenty years for me next September. I just turned forty last Thursday, it's been a long time. When I joined here my daily driver was a 1978 Cordoba that I bought off my grandmother. That sucker's been up on jack stands in my driveway since 2008 waiting for a restoration that will probably never happen.

Two comments on low numerical member numbers. I was registered on this site for just under 2? years prior to the web site reset. Being a relatively newcomer when the reset happened, I was a bit suspicious/put off at first when we were asked/required to sign up another time.
i waited 11 months to see if it would be worth the effort and to see what was really going on, not having a long history at that time with this group.
That eleven month delay earned me a current member number of #2102, and not much else.
My second comment revolves around members fascination with membership number, me being a student of history.
Hitler's party membership number I believe was 555, and many others bragged about their low party membership numbers.
When Hitler rose to supreme leader, his membership number suddenly changed to 7, as if it held some special significance,
My position is, I have an aversion to the unsupported significance of membership numerical ranking, but then that is me.
I do not imply one bit any direct correlation between members here and the monster I mention above, just to be very clear,
