I agree with this. I've been around longer than some, not as long as
others. I'd probably rank among the earliest people to use Lugnet,
and probably be in the top 100 posters, I suppose.
I see Lugnet as something that has brought back some people from the
days when RTL didn't suck, which it has for quite a while, but also as
a beacon to bring in new people, people who never had ties to RTL/ATL.
Who is to say those people won't become the shining stars or best
contributors, outdoing any "old-timer".
Ultimately, I don't think it makes much difference, my joking about 69
notwithstanding. I'd say assigning numbers based on order of
"joining" or posting to Lugnet is as good a system as any, and
probably the one that makes the most sense. Might even be seen as the
most fair, whatever fair means or matters.

Kinda silly, imo, but whatever works.
