slave to zep Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Im sure there are alot that are into Led Zeppelin and just find the site either through a search engine or just type in Led Zeppelin.com. And then they join and probably just never come back again. Just not into being on a computer. Like my wife. She has to work on one all day and at night wants no part of it. yes, you could be right there. but every now and again you see an "oldie" posting again. sometimes i remember them, sometimes it's someone who joined and left long before i even joined. a few months ago i went back to the start of the " post a picture of yourself" thread, and there were many on there that made me say " oh! i remember them, wonder what happened to them? " i know life goes on, but if you are a non-poster, why not just pop in and say "hi, i am still around " ........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alinds Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Dudes, you already missed the post messiah from the previous board. He was to bring eternal salvation. Turned out to be a dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Dudes, you already missed the post messiah from the previous board. He was to bring eternal salvation. Turned out to be a dud. Who, may I ask, was that? I was lurking on the site long before I made a post. When Wannabe was bashing Ohio State on the college football thread, I had to make a post. I have learned so much about my favorite band from all of you on this forum that I want to say "Thank You" to everyone. So don't be afraid to post. As SteveAJones says: "Collaboration is the key!"

manderlyh Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Dudes, you already missed the post messiah from the previous board. He was to bring eternal salvation. Turned out to be a dud. THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF WHEN I SAW THIS TOPIC! Oh hell, "he" didn't even post a thing. I still have a theory about that one--that it was a board member trying to get the coveted number. yes, you could be right there. but every now and again you see an "oldie" posting again. sometimes i remember them, sometimes it's someone who joined and left long before i even joined. a few months ago i went back to the start of the " post a picture of yourself" thread, and there were many on there that made me say " oh! i remember them, wonder what happened to them? " i know life goes on, but if you are a non-poster, why not just pop in and say "hi, i am still around " ........... I'd tell you what happened to a lot of them, but then I'd probably get into trouble. Big Brother and all, yanno. Sadly some who only post once or twice come on to spam and that's it EDITED TO ADD TO AN EXISTING POST INSTEAD OF POSTING AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slave to zep Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Go to the top of the page, 1. click members. Then look at 2. 2. Click this and choose "join date". Leave the other options alone, unless you want more names posted per page, then click up to 60. Click 4. GO and here's the beginning of your list. Number 3 is Ben, 4 is Kashmir and 5 is BigJetPlane. If you click the box that says "ascending" and put in "descending", you'll see the newest members and can backtrack from there. oh thanks for that, i am a bit IT challenged! so i wonder who is the earliest number who is still an active poster?

Angel With A Broken Wing Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 oh thanks for that, i am a bit IT challenged! so i wonder who is the earliest number who is still an active poster? Bear in mind that there were probably close to 2,000 folks who registered the first day so they were all within nanoseconds of each other. I'm pretty sure I signed up within the first hour that the switch took place (from the other LZ site) and I got number 188. So, what I'm trying to say, is that it's probably more accurate to look at the day of registering rather than the member number to see who is the earliest active poster. To answer the other question, about how this site compares membership-wise to others....well, I've seen comparable numbers, over 10,000, on other classic rock forums such as for Rush, Yes, The Who, etc. Moody Blues fans are a little under that the last time I checked (few years ago). More contemp bands like U2 have far more than 10 K registered. I think it depends on who tours the most, people join fansites to get tour info I've found. I've also been a member on fan forum where the count was as low as 25, for classical vocalist Mario Frangoulis. I was a founding member of his online fan group and have watched membership blossom over the past 7 years to a whopping 500 today! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 There's also been a number of members who are banned and some who have multiple names they use because they keep getting banned and returning under these already registered names.

Angel With A Broken Wing Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 And if someone were to die or something happened to them, we would have no way to know. Thats why I put all of my important info for my wife on a paper in case something happens to me. Nobody will be left in the dark. Whether they like me or not, they will at least know my fate. You mean for online friends & acquaintances, right? All the people you've chatted with for years but don't have personal data (home address, phone #) on? My husband is computer illiterate but I've already asked my daughter to send out a form e-mail to all in my computer Address Book upon my demise. That way, if one or two from each online group I'm with knows then they can pass the word along. As you said, whether they like me or not, at least they'll know. And I can think of a few women right off top of my head for whom it would be happy news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms_zeppelin94 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 An ever growing bunch of Zeppelin maniacs, I guess so. I Wonder how many members other major bands' forums have. That's not a competition of course, but I'm a bit curious. I was on Manic Nirvana (the Robert Plant Site) last week, and after being on here so much, I felt really lonely. There were 3 other members on there, and the most on there at one time was 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a Living will and proxy and writing down passcodes to internet sites like this one and bank passwords to make it easier for those you care about just in case you meet your maker before you expected.
