I've seen a couple of people say they were backer number X or Y.

I think that Kickstarter might have told me my backer number when I initially signed up, but I can't remember it.

How are they working this out? They don't seem to be counting up or down on the list of backers on the Kickstarter.

I can only speak for myself.

I had been chatting with Stephanie via PM before I decided to back, and I have her message saying I bumped them over the 30 threshold. Otherwise I wouldn’t have remembered.

Good question, I know I was an early backer but my position on the backers list at Kickstarter seems to jive more with my change from Beta to Alpha.

I didn't cancel and then back Alpha I just changed my level. I wonder if that moves your backer number around.

Any enlightenment available for us on this?

I was backer #204 for OWM.

Vegetation,

And really #2 if you don't take into consideration the backers who had seen/reviewed our campaign before it went live .
(and our first Beta/Alpha backer).

Needless to say, we were very happy to see you back us during that slow begining!! Thank you!

That is an interesting question. I changed my pledge two times.

I started off with "PAY 1 USD AND PESTER THE OWM TEAM WITH A TON OF QUESTIONS" level.

Then I switched to "HEY THEY ARE ACTUALLY NEAR TO FUNDING MAC OS, LETS WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE WITHIN 49 USD OF THE TARGET AND UP MY PLEDGE - BLAST I MISSED IT" level.

Finally I switched to the "LETS GET MY FRIEND TO MAKE COOL MAPS FOR ME" level.

Thanks Vegitation. That's really helpful.

EDIT: Turns out I am Backer #140.

As long as you don't cancel your pledge, your backer number will stay the same.

This is good information... I've backed thirty-four different projects, you'd think I'd have figured this out by now. Thanks for the info!
