The number after your name are the last 2 digits of your IP address. IP addresses are in the format X.X.X.X - So, for example an IP address of 32.61.29.129 would give you a "number" of 29129. IP addresses range from 0-255 so there's possibly 65,536 people with the same last 2 digits as yourself.
This assumes, however, that you have a static and not a dynamic IP address that changes every time you dial up/connect to the internet.
It is used simply to identify that one anonymous user is different to another in image/forum posts. If you want something uniquely yours, register an account.
You may optionally give an explanation for why this post was reported, which will be sent to the moderators along with the report. This can help the moderator to understand why you reported the post.
