I was curious to see if administrators knew. Since theres no member number next to screen names, I can't tell if theres 1000 of us or 10000 of us on here. Just curious I s'pose.

I second that..

especially with all the new folks coming in lately, it's exciting and I'd love to know how many of us there are.

How about a non-administrator?

A quick and dirty way to figure out how many accounts are registered is to look at people's usernumbers. Right now we're about 16900. Just doing a glance at the community page shows the highest number user right now is u=16922 (SheUnderstands) who registered half an hour ago. And there is no u=16923 as of this typing so there you have it.

The actual number of accounts is less than this by about seven hundred for various reasons (relating to skippage and accounts for the old Andromeda site that were deleted back in 2002). And the number of people who create an account and then never return was running around 50% last time I checked. So active users is much smaller than accounts.

* edited to add: You can get a feel for registration patterns by varying the usernumber and checking the date of account creation (just tweak the numbers using the following link: http://www.fireflyfans.net/showprofile.asp?u=##### ). For example, when the movie was released the highest user number was about 12200. So the number of accounts has grown by almost a half since the opening. There were similar spikes when the show first aired and at the release of the boxed set.

Also, if you ghost over a person's linkable username at the top of each post the user number will show up in the status bar of your browser. It's an easy way to figure out how long someone's been around.

Hope that helps.

There are two ways of viewing a profile:

http://fireflyfans.net/showprofile.asp?un=niknak
http://fireflyfans.net/showprofile.asp?u=7921

I'm number 7921 and I joined mid 2004. By trial and error I found that the latest member is number 16922.

There are currently 16154 registered users. There used to be more, but I cleared out some of the really old dormant accounts a couple of times during the past several years.

So active users is much smaller than accounts.

Hey, but what about us lurkers? I've probably visited this site every day in the last six months (and occasionally before then)--just registered so I could speak up for the guests.

Let's hear it for the passive users!

Yeah, but I'm taller.

Whoo-hoo! 16154

That is one of the things I miss from the Original Universal Board...that nice little counter at the top saying 77477. It was fun to watch it go up. I always wondered how many were real and how many were people who registered again because they forgot how they had registered.

Thank you Haken!

Muchas gracias to you Haken. Do you have a physical address so I can send you a valentine?

Thanks to you also FollowMal. I always enjoy your positive and entertaining posts.

I'd give you both virtual hugs but I'm not really a touchy feely person. So here's a virtual head nod.

Haken, sweet numbers.
But what are the official sites? I mean, this one is m favorite, and when you google firefly, this is the first site that comes up.

Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.
Zoë: You live on a spaceship, dear.
Wash: So?

Why, Milford, I'm entertaining?!

I didn't know. But thanks.

You just made my day...

I hope we all get more 'verse soon, and then we can all be ecstatic!


I subtracted the difference between your number and mine, Milford... that's a lotta people who came onboard our little ship between you and me.
That is wonderful! New Browncoats!! Love it!!

This is why we lost, you know. Superior numbers.

Now I am learning about scary.


Well, I guess you can add one more to that number. Yes, I'm new to the site. I've been reading messages here for a few weeks (enjoying all of 'em), but I didn't think I had anything important to add. Then it hit me: I DO have something important to say. And that is this:

I love "Firefly" and "Serenity"!!!!

Not terribly original, I realize, but I don't think most of you will mind.

You have a great community here and I'd like to be part of it.

Now I'm learning about scary.

While we have a Haken Lovefeast thread going on, let me point out that if you follow a trail of breadcrumbs on the home page there's a tiny, tiny link to his tip jar. I had to ask before I found it, but in lieu of Valentines maybe he can get a buck or two. Bandwidth ain't free. I figured if I can pay $2 for coffee in the morning, I should at least slip Haken a $20 for the entertainment he provides while I drink it... :-)

Heh. One of those wouldn't happen to have been Joss' account he created one upon a time and then promptly forgot the password?
