What are these numbers?!?!?

[Wal-Mart Security]

Hey, this has been annoying me long enough..... WHAT do these numbers mean?!?!?!?!
They appear on some names, then they go away, these numbers are making me mad

 

[NeOfito]

I think they are the number of times that you incinerated them... in one round...

 

[Wal-Mart Security]

Hmmm..... Possibly !dodge

 

[Carmine]

Number of times they have come online in the past two weeks maybe?

 

[SogeKing]

Now that can't be right, because I know that I've been online more than 4 times lol.

 

[Carmine]

Like did you go offline or just leave steam on though? I dunno.

 

[Dλrw!N]

Dude I've never seen those!

The number to the right means that the user has a specific amount of groups in common with you. Such as =(eGO)= Morbid (5); Wal-Mart and Morbid are in some of the same groups.

So of all the people you know; groups, friends, chat, and so on, there's a duplicate name - it's letting you know that =(eGO)= Morbid shows up in 5 different places.

 

[Wal-Mart Security]

AH HA!, Thank you, I can now go to bed at night knowing what those numbers mean!

Are you sure? I've got lots of friends who are in the same group as I, but I've never seen that numbers before.

I'm not 100% sure, but I have searched the Steam forums from head to toe in the past regarding this question and it always seems to point towards this. One of the administrators over there even stated that of all the people you know; groups, friends, chat, and so on, there's a duplicate name - it may not be in the same group, but it's letting you know that the user's name is seen in multiple places at the time.

 

[Volcom]

Ah ok! I"ve also been wondering!

Hmmm... okey. That's so strange because I've really never seen those numbers before.

'Those are the number of Alias' that the person has, aka when they change their name for the first time that they're on your friends list it'll show a one there.

 

[masterofpuppets]
