FYI, I found that there's another member who fits the "square" criteria. Clue: He owns this website!

Yes, I noticed arn as well, but I figured he didn't count, since you mentioned there was only one other. There are also 2 members who will meet the criteria before too long, as their post counts are nearing 2500.
I calculated pi to 2.7 triliion digits and all I got was this lousy T-shirt
Speaking of numbers, here's a cool news story:
Speaking of numbers, here's a cool news story:
A computer scientist claims to have computed the mathematical constant pi to nearly 2.7 trillion digits, some 123 billion more than the previous record.
The best part is the quote from the guy who did it:"I am not especially interested in the digits of pi."
On the same topic, here's a question for you:What are the odds that the 3 trillionth digit of pi is a zero?
Answer:Either 0% or 100%. We don't know yet!

MacNut is correct about retired members not appearing in the Members List. Retired members are those, like bousozoku, who have been given Guest status so they no longer have working accounts. This happens only in special cases, sometimes for reasons of privacy.
For most members, if they become "inactive" simply by not posting, they will remain in the Members List indefinitely.

madjew stopped posting in September of 2008, so they would have seen him for about a year. I miss madjew too, I remember that madjew bot thread way back when, that was hilarious 😛
this one?
made me laugh quite a lot. I miss Mad Jew also, I wasn't a poster when he was here, but I was lurking around the corners.
