Just go to the home page and down the bottom where all the online members are, run your cursor across your username and the number should appear on the bottom toolbar.

That works on any page you've posted on, even this one. Just scroll over your username and look at bottom-left of screen.

Unfortunately, doesn't give you your original number if it was changed; some were changed for unknown reasons over time;

#809 - my how fast member numbers increased upon the change from the US site - for example JC is #529 Jan 05 and I same month/year.

I recall the rallying for the 2nd Raid - had interest if I recall but as mentioned pin was pulled due to lack of numbers.......
AFF boomed since but sadly have lost good members due to many life changes I suppose. Saddest one would have to be Geoff P - what a buzz to have someone like he posting.

You're right Dave, it was a great event. You gave me a lift out to the Proving Ground when we car pooled from the Engine Plant. Green EB/D wasn't it?



I never went on the first Raid in 2001, but got the T-Shirt for a donation.


I've worn my 2002 Raid T-shirt nearly to it's end. Still have all the gear, and of course all the great memories.
I think my AU I had back then was the slowest of the forum cars at Calder!

I migrated over from FF.com as soon as I got the email in Dec 04

Then in 05 some punk copied my original username so I changed it to avoid confusion and said punk has made 13 posts since

[Poetic Justice]

I came from the old forum, but delayed a while I think (don't think I owned a Ford at the time of the switch!)

Edit: Yep, #1205. Jan, 2005. I used to be 'blackout'.

Member 15065 here. So in just over a year AFF had grown to over 15000 members.

I used to check out both FF.com and AFF but took me a little while to join here and if I recall correctly took a little while to make my first post.

I was known as BAXLS back in the day.
