  • Noobs.
  • And once you take out the petebests and Chys, there's what -- six?
  • You'll nevah catch us, coppahz!
  • Ha! The 4605 of you that signed up after me are such luzRz!
  • I created a sock puppet account about a year ago and never used it. Then I forgot the name & password. Plus my girlfriend has an account she never uses...so I'd guess we have about 150 actual people here.
  • Name: Fes User ID: 35 *strokes long white beard, gibbers*
  • LET THE PURGE BEGIN!!
  • Name: the_bone User ID: 34 There are obviously 33 people with lower user IDs (a few of whom are active), so it's not a huge deal. I just wanted to mock Fes.
  • doh!
  • It's interesting how many totally unfamiliar users' names cropped up in the older posts. Guess monkey-ness can for some be a transient state. Perhaps these were some of the sacrificial monkeys... But where are all the thousands? Are they all lurking out there in the darkness? *scans jungle nervously, curls tail close to body, scurries up tree*
  • They're all self-linkers and viral marketeers, waiting for their chance to strike....
  • But where are all the thousands? The eyes are watching. I, Lord Foetus, approve. On with the show!
  • I'm curious as to what percentage are viral spammy self-linkers....I'm only in the 500s myself, not nearly so cool as Fes or the_bone :D
  • Dyslexic sock-puppets of MoFi, UNTIE!!!!!!!!!!
  • I think it's the nature of any online community. Some are here for the long run. Some are drive-bys. Some stay for years, then get bored. /shrugs
  • We should do a post about this on Wiki.
  • We have a -- oh, nevermind.
  • No, not our wiki. I mean Wiki. You know, the big one.
  • I'm in the lower 400's myself (always found it curious that I am one after Alnedra - but never figured out who came directly after me) - - but realized long ago that a lower member number does not necessarily equal "better" member. Some amazing monkeys have come along our illustrious tubes, hallways and eeked threads long after it all began...
  • I've almost reached a MoFi half-life. # 4045.
  • \m/ *sticks tongue out, hisses*
  • 2173 w00t! I win the internets! And to you the other 8001 geezers and n00bs: "GET OFFA MY DAMN INTERNET TOOBS!!! YOR CLOGGIN UP MY WEB PAGE SITES!!!!"
  • Name: rocket88 User ID: 39 Don't we old-timers get a discount or something?
  • realized long ago that a lower member number does not necessarily equal "better" member. yes it does!
  • my member is lower than any of yours, i swear. numbers have nothing to do with it.
  • Though my member number is not as low as some other users in this thread... all I have to say is that my number is cooler than yours. This is all by way of saying "Yay Monkeyfilter!"
  • User 133 here. Except I'd be number 20 if all the PeteBests and Nostrils hadn't hogged up. I always get a kick out of seeing a name that I've never noticed before, thinking they're someone new, checking out their profile, and realizing they have a number lower than mine. Obviously Monkeys of great circumspection. pffft! losers MonkeyFilter: sacrificial monkeys... MonkeyFilter: Dyslexic sock-puppets of MoFi, UNTIE!!!!!!!!!!
  • 2028 - don't ask me, I just lurk here.
  • We've got to get those palms removed, they're infested with lurkers. I think they breed beneath the bark. If you come out here at night you can see them crawling all over the ceiling and making those weird lurker noises.
  • User ID: 2661 here. I'm mostly a lurker, but there are quite a few people I remember who have disappeared.
  • *drags palms outside for vigorous shaking, shrieks as lurkers fall to pavement and scurry into shadows, scratches and ponders Disappearing Monkey Mystery*
  • #733. Which any fule kno is an anagram of super cool and sexy dude. Form a queue, ladies.
  • Somehow I am #562. I thought I joined much later than that. Since there only seem to be about 20 active posters in the first place, and seven of them are Capt. Renault, who are these thousands of purported monkeys?
  • 1988. According to REM, it was the end of the world as we knew it. I felt fine.
  • Just keeping the party goin', people. Speaking of which, the keg is nothin' but foam, now. Someone should do something about that.
  • 1093. After William the Conqueror, bitches! *pillages Gaul*
  • *raises cup of coffee to honor long gone and fondly remembered departed monkeys* *spills hot coffee over pants* *curses*
  • Oh, now it's one of these things, is it? *opens old, worn bag of asterix-denoted action descriptors, rummages around* Ah, here we go. A bit dusty, but it'll do the trick- *does the funky monkey*
  • Wheeeeeeee!
  • I was never a very active or outspoken member, but I still lurk occasionally. Now that I don't have a hellish desk job anymore, it's hard to commit the amount of time and attention that this lovely site deserves. You monkeys were life savers when I was getting beaten down by the man on a daily basis. Yay for monkeys! *switches back to lurk mode*
  • I'm still here. Fuck off.
  • Hrm. I'm 3310. Couldn't find any historical significance to the number, but I did discover the following: * It was a model number for popular a Nokia phone * And an HP Printer. * there's a website which has something to do with that latitude * And some sort of chemical I didn't delve any further for fear of ending up in a terrible Jim Carrey movie. Numbers aside, I don't post much, but I lurk a lot, surfacing occasionally to inject useless information into otherwise interesting threads before sinking again into the miasma of my lurkiness.
  • 3786 - it appears I only joined to tell people I hadn't been blown up. 14 links and 881 comments - not bad ~~~~ We need stats about who posts, who lurks. What is a particular users appearance count? Log-ins are logged, as are visits. It's all in the database, somewhere. Anyway, I love all you guys!
  • User 4345 here. 4+3+4+5=16 1+6= Lucky 7
  • 5924 here and regularly ignored by the ruling clique boo!
  • 592! Y'know, ever since I finished my dissertation I don't seem to have as much time on the intertubes. What with having a Job and all that. (Plus the whole "healing my bike-damaged head" thing.) I mean, hell. I don't think I recognize any of the new kids. Y'all long-hair greybeards, sure, and who forgets GramMa? but the rest of you? Geddoffmylawn ya goddamn kids grumble grumble...
  • mmmmm dessertation . . . agghhghh
  • Dang. At #3371, I ain't nuthin' but a Quickbooks error code.
  • sugarmilktea: The person who registered after you is this guy, who apparently went on to post as Jerry Garcia and Jerry Junior.
  • Oh, he was something special.
  • /feels obligated to log in. #549 or is that my age? /goes back to chasing new puppy.
  • I liked Jerry. He always had some interesting music-related posts. Up until the cat incident.
  • /goes back to chasing new puppy. what's his monkey number?
  • 1777, the year Baron Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué was born. And I only have one sockpuppet :)
  • Oh jeez, are we counting sockpuppets? I've had a total of five accounts here (this one, two previous usernames used at different times, and at least two sockpuppets--I recall tracicle making a joke one time about my supposed legion of sockpuppets in #mofirc).
  • Looks like 2376 is between Insurrection and Nemesis. I should put some money down or something.
  • And I have no sockpuppets. Thus the glut of posts under this one name.
  • Captain! My card. Why I've sold sock puppets to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook and by gum it put them on the map! Yessir nothin' says monkey like a gen-u-wine, fortified, randomized, crass sounding sockpuppet! But, Nah . . you wouldn't be interested. It's more of a . . kitfisto idea . . .
  • I lurk mostly, these days. Except when I can say "I, at 255, am the last of the 8bit monkeys!" or something.
  • I've never had a previous username OR a sockpuppet. I feel slighted. *sits down, makes list GramMa AzureEquine BluHorz CrankyManky
  • I have socks. And puppets.
  • Both my feet are sockpuppets. I had an operation to save my alter ego after a splitting headache turned into egotitis, my feet had to be removed as they were severely impacted behind my wisdom teeth and so they were replaced with Lambchop and Finnegan. Although the dog doesn't seem to have vocal chords, poor bastard, the lamb just keeps yapping and no amount of kicking cacti will stifle it. And trust me: that song really never ends...
  • Aah, the ol' 2376. That's better.
  • My puppy is # PB3 163. I also have about 15 feet of puppy there.
  • I've never had a sockpuppet either (nor a sockmonkey)...and I'm #578 (I think) should I make a sockpuppet and foment trouble? or will it be all too obvious when "snakehead666" trolls the capt. by flirting with Kitfisto and "serpentbrain" claims to have been made subadmin, thus sending Quid on a tri-state murder spree...!
  • I love the smell of fomented socks in the morning.
  • My sockpuppet fell in love with my big boner and they both ran off to live on facebook.
  • Hi. My name is jeff and I am a *sniffs* and I am a *AHEM* MY NAME IS JEFF AND I AM A LURKER. But I love MoFi like it wuz my little interwub baby. Have for awhile now. (#3877, only interesting fact about this # is that it is approximately the temperature of my computer room right now. No wonder my PC crashes more often than Billy Joel) Also; my wife is allergic to any conversations that begin with "I read on MonkeyFilter...) Before I go back to lurking, I want to thank all youse monkeys for making this the third site I check every time I log online.
  • What's da first two? Dis? or Dis?
  • We're Number Three! We're Number Three!3!1!
  • (I didn't mean that not undisingenously, btw - thanks for unlurking, annasbrew!)
  • Unlurk more!
  • #1546, does that make me cool? I've spent more time lurking than not. Interestingly enough, I recently realized that my delurk periods coincide with times of great upheaval. (Four apartments, five jobs, two states, etc.) Monkeyfilter has been a constant in my life for the last three years. Apartments, jobs, boyfriends, hobbies, best friends - all have come and gone, but Monkeyfilter remains! Whenever my life gets turned upside down, I clutch my big, electronic, powder-blue-with-maroon-trim blankie, with all its make-believe internet friends. I know it sounds dorky and weird, coming from someone who hardly ever posts comments, and has never submitted an FPP. But this site means an awful lot to me.
  • annasbrew, you sound much more fun that these losers! Unlurk! Also, why does the number 132 have a Wikipedia entry, and Monkeyfilter can't?
  • Or even than these losers. Maybe when we hit 10,000, Tracicle will see fit to gift us with a preview button.
  • petebest: Well, sir, there's nothing on earth                  Like a genuine,                  Fortified,                  Randomized,                  Crass-sounding                  Sockpuppet!                  What'd I say? Fes:          Sockpuppet! petebest: What's it called? Bone:       Sockpuppet! petebest: That's right! Sockpuppet! [crowd chants `Sockpuppet' softly and rhythmically] Medusa:  I hear sockpuppets fling their poo... petebest: That's just a bunch of ballyhoo! Lara:       Is there a chance they'll know it's me? petebest: They'll never know, I guarantee! Queso:    Well, how about those damn petebests? petebest: If you're the lemon, they're the zest! gomi:       Were you sent here by JonathanQuick? petebest: He wasn't a sockpuppet, just a prick! forks:       The spout came off my neti pot. petebest: Take this hose, to flush your snot!                  I swear it's MoFi's only choice...                  Throw up your hands and raise your voice! All:           Sockpuppet! petebest: What's it called? All:           Sockpuppet! petebest: Once again... All:           Sockpuppet! darling:    But kitfisto's art is tame and bland! path:        Quiet, troll, or you'll be banned! All:           Sockpuppet!                  Sockpuppet!                  Sockpuppet! [big jazz-hands finish]                  Sockpuppet!
  • I spent waaaaaaaaay too much time formatting that.
  • 1742 Benjamin Franklin invents his Franklin stove and Willem KH Friso tests his mothers potatoes - seemed like a good year for that to happen. I can haz sokpoopets?
  • I want to become a lurker. How often can one comment and still be considered a lurker?
  • mct, I nearly died of the choking and the laughing! forks:       The spout came off my neti pot. petebest:       Take this hose, to flush your snot!                      I swear it's MoFi's only choice...                     Throw up your hands and raise your voice!
  • wooo wooo! *raises the roof*
  • *lights it on fire*
  • Do we need any water?
  • Maybe when we hit 10,000, Tracicle will see fit to gift us with a preview button. All I've ever wanted was a friggin' flashin' < LARGE > button
  • Year 34: Jesus gets killed. I win! Oh, and the JonathanQuick couplet above was most rad. Well played, sir.
  • *applauds mct*
  • We love you mechagrue!! *snif*
  • (LOLzMCtee!1)
  • I would post to congratulate MCT, but there's been rumblings that I'm posting too often, so I can't.
  • It'd be fine if it wasn't always all about chocolate and windmills and tulips and wooden shoes and stuff.
  • MCT is the new Shakespeare. Monkeyfilter: My big, electronic, powder-blue-with-maroon-trim blankie, with all its make-believe internet friends.
  • fish tick ftw!
  • *makes lemonade*... lovely, MCT!
  • Is it any surprise that ftw is wtf backwards?
  • How come 8000 monkeys can't even get this stupid post up to 100 comments? OH, DAMN!!! I did it again. I called Pete's post stupid. And now he'll cry. And then everybody will think I'm mean. And then some people will say I need hormones. And then there will be bannination. And no more cockpunch. And Pete will want an Official Seal of Approval, too. But I'm not going to do it. The best he'll get is this I'm sorry. It's late. I'm tired. Deal. But I suppose I better grovel and apologize. *ahem I'm sorry, PeteBest. GramMa loves you. Have a nice warm cookie and a special glass of cockpunch with a cute little umbrella. Now go put on pants, dammit.
  • GramMa please allow me to shoulder the "mean" burden with you, girlfriend. i have been carrying that epitaph for a long time anyway. I'll be mean, where? who?? what??? lemme attem'!!!! I'll rip pete's best pants right offa him !! I'' take yr ficcial seal of provul and shove it up yr...ak! I'll be right back!
  • what post number was that?
  • You go, girrrrlfriend! (98--whoot!)
  • Ta daaa!
  • Not Kitfisto! *groans I suppose the cute outfit with the snake head-dresses I made for Medusa won't fit. Or maybe it will. What about the heels? Do you want them, too? The purse?
  • BlueHorse, it's perfect timing!! I'm leaving for burning man later on today, the more costumes the merrier :D I don't want that stinkypoopybuttpants kitfisto stretching out my snake outfit!!
  • have fun at the burn, medusa. i have friends in the bacon camp....
  • I'll take the dress, the heels, the purse, the 'naughty' panties, the LOT! *shaves legs*
  • Hey, at least do that in the bathroom!
  • And preferably not with MY razor, dammit!
  • THE bacon camp??? is there any camp that is not a bacon camp?? we revised the bacon-fried pancakes this year....mmmmm, delicious heartattacky deliciousness!
