FlyerTalk is, and has always been, a most international community. Many of the popular Dos started in far-away lands and continue to be the best attended. My first Do was YUL in 2000, followed by DUS in 2001.
I am sure that your question could easily be answered, however I don't know if it is tracked that way.
My question would be how do you know what your 'number' is. I have seen someone post (can't remember who) that says something like, "Welcome number xxxxxx" and I don't know if we have a number or if it is just done tongue-in-cheek. If we do have numbers did they start with #1 as first person to register (or Randy, perhaps) and each subsequent member that registered was assigned the next number in sequence?

The question is also: what is the percentage of people now living in the US and those who just signed up in the US.
Me for example: when I first became a member, I lived in the US, an American recommended it to me but I feel like many move to somewhere else at some point.

My guess is about 10%.
Many of the overseas Doos are pretty large.
OzFest in Tasmania next month will be about 40 folks, whch is larger than most USA gatherings.

According to Randy, in his answer to a question during the post IB takeover chat, it's actually 40%.
Do non-US members account for 40% of the posts ? No, definitely not.
I'd say that's more like the 10%, especially if OMNI is taken into account.
