I voted hex, and then realized that after a while, my post count would be the same as my initials.  Tres cool.

What would changing the join date to the birthday do for anyone?  I'd rather have the join date as the actual join date.  I hope you didn't trash all of that, Mike.

Hmmm. My favourite is drawing behind. Time for some serious vote rigging, methinks.

I probably voted for just about everything - I'm maybe a bit indecisive today. Possibly.

How the hell do you represent a pi based numbering system?
Symbolically. ;)

each whole number represents a multiple of pi. So, base 10 integers would be irrational numbers using base pi ([?] ouch, my brain hurts)

I haven't touched the join date thing.  While I think it'd be kinda cool it isn't really worth it :)

i like the binary system because it says "i'm a post whore" while not really showing exactly how much of a post whore you are. (how many people are going to make the effort to convert to base 10?)

I also like the randomizing ones. maybe something based on an md5sum?

Is it possible to set it on a per user basis?
I think this would be a nice option too.

Roman numerals is my first choice - if not, then hex.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
