hex, but instead of 0-9a-f we need an intricate system of smilies to represent the digits.

Fucking VB is stupid.  I told it to make a poll, it then creates a thread and then sends me to the poll creation option

All the choices look good....

Is it possible to set it on a per user basis?

maybe but it'd probably be a pain in the ass to do.  Especially since VB sucks the big one

base-pi?
 
And what about join date? Is it possible to automatically set it to each user's birthday? That'd be great, mmkaaaay?

I know mathematically it's possible but how exactly is it represented.

I like the idea of the join date.  It'd be kinda funny.

Then everyone would lie about their birthday - 1st Jan 1900 reserved for me. :)

I think hex will be much better than binary as post counts get larger.

Now everyone has Apr 2005 as their join date -- rather boring.

It's possible to change the join date, kermi has done so at cprog. The question is if it can be done in an automated way.

It's a piece of software.  Of course it's possible to automate it.  But not everyone puts in their birthdate.  

But we digress.  How the hell do you represent a pi based numbering system?
