I thought we were referring to post count.

I knew that.

I just got confused because 3 people in a row said their post rank and he asked who is number one so I assumed he was referring to that.

Being No. 36, I think I'm really one of the first "non-expats" to have joined.... I had seen the link to this site on another in-famous board and registered a couple of days later....

You are one of the first .. chrisjedijane was the first non-FDPer.

Expatriate, meaning one who has taken up residence in a foreign country, or renounced one's native land.

Basically a bunch of guys on another forum were being marginalized, thought they could do it better themselves, and here we are.

Oddly enough, in NL the terms appears to mean "white immigrant" these days

The FDP (Fender Discussion Page) had a Jazzmaster/Jaguar sub-forum we used to post at...we would call it Area 51 sometimes

It was Area 25 actually no? It is now anyways. Regardless, the "area XX" referred to the URL for that part of the forum as you can see below.

I registered at FDP but don't you have to donate or something to post there? So I said the hell with it and never bothered with forums until I found OSG.

You don't have to pay to post... but you're pretty much hassled and/or ignored if you don't pay.

Their idea of "contribution" is much different from ours.
