Here is a link to his post to make finding him easier http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?showtopic=24011 I would think that some members have either been banned, have possibly quit, or something similar that they are no longer active. I'm sure the board has a few open accounts that all the moderators can use at certain times and I don't know if they count twords the complete total or not? :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #3 Posted December 24, 2010 I'm sure spammers make up a large percentage of that difference, Kelly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mowerman1193 42 #4 Posted December 24, 2010 Not sure but if they have the ability to change the number then I would like a new one. As the old saying of 666 represents the devil or something like that. I have always hated that number and when it come up on my trucks odometer I always cover it up with something. I try to ignore it here..But seriously get me a new number if its possible. I think I asked this before and the only way would be to delete my account and start over again..

dennist 139 #5 Posted December 24, 2010 Mowerman1193- I hear you on the number(666). Maybe like 665.5 would work for you to still stay in the same spot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #7 Posted December 24, 2010 The reason for the difference in the count is the members to never validated. Accounts that are in validation are not included in the user count but they have a number. And no you cannot change your member number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duff 206 #8 Posted December 24, 2010 Kevin, I respect and understand your concern (I'm a practicing Christian). If it gives you any peace of mind, "666" is only a number. How we live our lives and treat others is the true measure of who we are, and from what I've read in your posts and from doing business with you, I believe that no one, least of all the Lord, will ever associate that number with evil as it relates to you. Warmest wishes to you and your family, and to all the members of Red Square, for a joyous Christmas and a safe. happy and healthy New Year!

sorekiwi 761 #9 Posted December 25, 2010 Not sure but if they have the ability to change the number then I would like a new one. As the old saying of 666 represents the devil or something like that. Now, I dont know if he was BS'ing us or not, but I worked with a guy that swore his ex-wifes Social Security # ended with 666. He always said he should have run the moment he found that out...
