Piece of string. There are so many ways such a distinction could be quantified. . .
a) "Membership" of the Behaviour Group - that is to say, being a poster at the original Utopia Planitia WWWBoard, and/or subsequent incarnations - Starfleet Comm Relay, etc. - thereof. b) Member number in this current incarnation. But by Charles'own admission, when he was setting up this UBB he largely imported known members in an ad hoc manner. But then, I was one of them but now use a different ID. c) Going by number of posts. Which certainly confirms Tim and Simon as candidates for two of the positions. But then I've managed to clock up an impressive total in my newer ID, I wonder what'd happen if I added in my posts as The First One?
So, take your pick. Whichever criteria you used you'd likely end up with a shortlist of about ten - Tim, Sol, Liam, me, Andrew, Nim, Charles, Frank, Daryus, Fo2, Elim, Jeff (both flavours), Krenim, Monty, Siggy, Tahna, Baloo. . . You see the problem! Tell you what, just pick who you'd LIKE to have.

Number of posts doesn't really matter. Member number is probably the best, followed by the registered date.

lol Now I'm actually curious, why'd they start at 4? If I had to guess I'd say they were test accounts of some kind.
Also, incidentally, were the Vorlons and Shadows the #2 and #3 First Ones of the B5 universe? I mean, I don't think it was ever explicitly stated that they were, just that they were the ones that remained (along with Lorien, #1). They did say that the "Shadows were old when the ancients were young" so I took that to mean that the Shadows were the oldest First Ones (besides Lorien's species of course).

I've been hanging around since the UP3 days - I remember the move over from the comm-relay and everyone sorta moved over in the one day. Or as I read above CC moved a lot over automatically?? Lee what was your original 'nick'?
Infact - who else has changed their 'nick' over the years? I have always been AndrewR. Yes, yes I'm not too imaginative with online nicks/aliases/names etc. Lucky this isn't the Matrix.

At least you initial your last name. (Mine isn't even really a nick, when you think about it.) Let's form a club or something.

According to legend, Flare Member #1 sacrificed his body parts to form the universe, the lesser gods, and the Yuuzhan Vong. In honor of his sacrifices, the Yuuzhan Vong in turn sacrificed body parts�and living beings�in remembrance of his act of creation. He was revered formally on the holiest days on the Yuuzhan Vong calendar; such dates were the occasions on which rites and sacrifices devoted to him were conducted. The Yuuzhan Vong were named for him, and it was a sacrilege to simply refer to them as "Vong" (which many in the galaxy did). Only the Supreme Overlord of the Yuuzhan Vong could address him, and the Supreme Overlord was ritually scarred and modified to resemble Flare Member #1.
