Back in the olden times I put together a script that illustrated who was logged into tilde.club: http://tilde.club/~whitneymcn/whoville.shtml
Right now is says that 15 (or possibly only ten) people are logged in, so (a) I need to log in and figure out what part of that script broke, and (b) I'm curious to see whether the server population spikes again.
(Add me to the list of people trying to remember/find their credentials.)

Hi,
I’m Ben (~superbad). I’m in Claremont, California, and the thing I’m best known for is superbad.com.*
I still work doing graphic design & user interface design, but am currently in grad school to become a marriage & family therapist—a surprising twist.
*This is a little weird for me because I mostly try not to ruin superbad.com by letting people know about the person behind it. I think it’s more interesting that way. However, it seems relevant to tilde.club, and really at this point I don’t actually need to worry about that at all.
Anyway, hello. I’m appreciating the thing that is happening with this list.

Morning all, this was An Experience to wake up to. I'm David (~damaru); I live in Glasgow, Scotland; I spend half my week translating between users and business stakeholders and designers and developers on behalf of a "travel technology" company, and the other half being a dad.
As an aside: several of the names on this list are people who I think are awesome and who inspired me to get into this career. Thank you! I really like it.

My page (~thedaniel) still contains its initial promise to put something there, and this mailing list thread revives the shame of not executing on a project a tiny bit, but that's overshadowed by the charm & excitement of a thread full of clever people all aligned with Old Internet introducing themselves. Anyway in the spirit of intros, I'm Daniel, I do 3d things in the fashion industry in Amsterdam at the moment, and i make dance music with friends on the side. Now I guess I better open up vi and write some html for my tilde.club page...

When I made my Tilde http://tilde.club/~grace/ page, I was living in Cincinnati with my cat. Now I live in Berlin with that same cat. I put my cat's face on my business card, and that business card got me my apartment. If you come to Berlin, I have lots of suggestions of where to go (except for clubbing). If you have suggestions on how to buckle down and finish a novel, I'm all ears. Grace https://twitter.com/gracedobushtogo PS: please no tilde slack

Holy cow, this is a dope thread. I'm ~jmhodges! Seeing so familiar names in here is surprisingly moving?
Professionally, I do software consultation and run a small web service. I got to jump through a cloud illegally a few years ago! I recommend it![1]
Also, I think dogs are cool[2].
[1] While, sure, it's illegal to parachute through clouds in American airspace unless you're in military exercises, you can do it too with the technique I discovered:
- Charm the gruff but kind Navy vet you're strapped to by talking
about how your dad was Air Force 2. Ask him about his experience training Navy and Marines in how to fall out of planes. 3. Mention that sometimes your dad flew planes you were riding in and how'd you'd look out the windows and wish you could touch the clouds 4. After popping the chute, and he directs you to "pull hard on the left" you may start to form some questions about where you're going but -- this is crucial -- pull hard on the left line before asking them. It's unlikely you'll be able to finish any interrogative thought for a few moments more, anyway, due to the recurring realization that you were just face first towards Earth with miles of nothing between you and it 5. When he says "reach out" over your repeated "thank you. thank you. wow. thank you", take one hand off a toggle and make a fist in the vapor as many times as you like. Take a moment to notice that the inside of a cloud has plenty of light to see and is only very slightly more grey than the outside.
I hope this helps. [2] They really are.
