191. :) It looks like the user database was created on 6-Jul-2000, which is when most of the early folks (from the old CG days) were added in approx alpha order (of first name), except for Chris & Dave who're the primary caretakers of CP. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com
It's obvious that Chris is a FORTRAN developer at heart, since he's member 1 and not 0 ... just an observation ... :rolleyes: ok, getting back to work now. :-D

If you think about it, though, the number 2066577 is simply a high-water mark. I never see more than 5-6000 logged on at any given time. A good many of those were "one hit wonders."

I'm not sure the site can handle more then 5-6000. If it was running better we might see more. :sigh:

I'm not entirely certain what those numbers "say" ... but to me I'm thinking there's 5-6000 of us actually working, trying to find answers; while the other 2,060,577 are just playing around ... ;P

Fold with us|Development Blogging|viksoe.dk's siteI believe the number of unique visitors that CP greets every month is somewhere around 1.6 million. And that is an externally audited number. So there may be a few one it wonders, but 1.6 million unique visitors is a pretty staggering number.

I was in my profile updating some stuff and I happened to glance up at the number of members here on CP to see the count sitting at 2,066,577 My first reaction was :omg: the last time I actually remember reading/seeing something about member count, it had just hit 1 million. When I signed up, I was member No. 15378 and I thought that was a high count at the time. I have to admit, I am amazed at the number of members here on CP and just how far it has come. One can only imagine what it must be like to control the website that has influence over that many people ... right Chris? At this rate, the name will have to change to Code Empire and we'll all have to start calling Chris ... Lord Maunder Emmm ... maybe I shouldn't be giving him any ideas ... :~

In the beginning there was Bob; erm, no, there was this giant turtle actually, but Bob came shortly after. "...putting all your eggs in one basket along with your bowling ball and gym clothes only gets you scrambled eggs and an extra laundry day... " - Jeffry J. Brickley

Fold with us|Development Blogging|viksoe.dk's siteIt's hard to believe that the success of this site is real. When I joined I was really bailing out of CodeGuru because it had become irrelevant to me. I wasn't a programmer (and I'm still not), but once in a while I had a need to write an app for a customer. The grass seemed greener on the CP side of the fence, so I jumped. I'm glad I did, as here I have met the only peers I've had in my life in over a decade. Even though programming is not my life, the thoughts and feelings of people who do program for a living resonate with my own very nicely, and I feel at home here. The folks here are my friends and family, and I can never thank Chris, et al, enough for creating this amazing presence on the web. It has been since its inception, and remains, unique in the world, and I'm proud to be a member. :-D "...putting all your eggs in one basket along with your bowling ball and gym clothes only gets you scrambled eggs and an extra laundry day...

To top it off, CP works nearly the same in Firefox as IE thanks to Jorgen for submitting the Forum scripts to Chris and Shog9 for writing a GreaseMonkey script to make it even better.
