Are you ready for 2,000,000?

[digaran]

Hi guys, I am glad to take the uid #1999999.

Congrats on beating me allahabadialt.

You should request a name change: I am NOT 2M th user.

Only if there is a she, showing herself on camera first. theymos doesn't have time to entertain random dudes. either be like alia or no name change for you. thanks in advanced. for what? just thanks in advanced.

[jackg]

Sometime within the next 24 hours, the forum will generate the user id of 2,000,000. 

It would be nice to see a prize, but that would result in about 10,000 signups in a minute.  lol

Congrats Theymos and Bitcointalk!

Why do we have fewer users than UIDs? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats
Whenever someone's nuked/permabanned, does their deletion reduce the number of uids as I thought they just remained but were blocked on here? 

Congrats to number 2000000, we've had 484 signups since then also (100 users per hour)!

1. I'll never partake in any form of campaigns from this account or monetize it.

That's great.Although it's totally okay to use it for whatever you want as long as you don't break any forum/campaign rules.

2. I'll never ShitPost using this account to maintain the decorum of the forum.

To maintain the decorum of the forum,you shouldn't be shit-posting from your main account as well.I hope after a few days I won't see a post like "Selling a VIP user-id account".

Accounts are never deleted so that 2 mil is every signup including banned and nuked accounts. The nuked ones are all the ones with 0 posts however old they are.

Not quite true.  I'm at the airport so I can't give you exact numbers, but there are 1,085,918 accounts with no sign on for 90 days, no posts and no trust.  The number of banned/nuked accounts is way less than five figures.

So why would the numbers be so much different?

Not quite true.  I'm at the airport so I can't give you exact numbers, but there are 1,085,918 accounts with no sign on for 90 days, no posts and no trust.  The number of banned/nuked accounts is way less than five figures.

OK, I wasn't reading those commas as an AND operator, I thought no sign in for 90 days OR 0 posts. I suspected nuked to be far higher than 5 figures.

So why would the numbers be so much different?

It looks like I misread the data on Vod's site.

Sorry, I just worked that out. The site user stats have been disabled since December when we were having the DDoS attacks and those numbers are frozen in time. http://dev.martinlawrence.ca/bpip/ is the place for live data.

You appear to have also misread my point.

The data on UID's is different than the data on this forum's stats page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats

Why is that number lower than 2000000?

Ok this is confusing me now. That stats page stopped updating the history at the bottom of the page in December so I thought it had completely stopped updating. I know when users are banned or nuked their accounts remain and even when people have asked to have accounts deleted they are told they can't. So I cannot explain it other than to take a guess that they used to delete accounts a long time ago and stopped.

Because that stats page stopped updating in December.

That's just wrong.

The latest user is currently at uid=2001067 from that page.

[TheQuin]

Yeah, I just edited it again. This confused me a bit 

[detector]

The number of the total registered user showed there is also different: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist from the latest UID and vod's site.
Is this the frozen one? I'm getting confused too.

(Viewing all members is temporarily disabled)

I can see that, but it is still unclear to me which one of the "stats" that has been disabled.
Of course, if we take a look closely the different from that link is too many from vod's and the latest stats.
Somehow I feel like I've been answering my own question. :/

Personal stats is temporarily disabled due to forum DDoS attacks.

Yes the viewing all members is disabled, due to the fact that SMF isn't actually able to reproduce that data (I don't think) or it's the ddos thing. You can get it up by doing a wildcard search on the search part (but it's not very helpful).

[actmyname]

I found that a number of UIDs are not linked to a profile and so that could push the number up while keeping the number of users down. If you start at UID 2 and try to go up, you'll see that a couple users' profiles do not exist. Now this even continues on in the 1000 range (i.e. UID 1101, 02, 03) so I assume this is where the disparity comes from.

In the forum's first couple of years, accounts would sometimes be deleted. Also, in rare cases an ID can be skipped (eg. if a database transaction gets rolled back).

Theymos is more lenient with the rules with advanced members who have ranked up quite a bit and have aged accounts.
Quite a few users of legendary status have had their names changed by the admin (though I'm not entirely sure I'm allowed to state all of them, I don't think theymos would mind me mentioning hilariousandco's namechange).

This makes more sense and was what I was thinking - just seemed a little odd (shows you coded the stats page well theymos!)

This sort of raises up more questions than it answers, especailly who had the uid2 (though this is taking this discussion a bit off topic so I will refrain from posting anything on that here).

Thanks for this, but I won't.

I avoid it now, but as you can see in my history, I did that quite a bit, also I tend to make small talk quite a few times, which people tend to take as a shit-post.

Regarding the Selling thing, I've never bought or sold an account or have participated in any such unscrupulous activity, even though that has hurt me quite and I have had options to buy accounts too, but I won't.

[I am 2M th user]

...
uid 1,999,999 is more appealing to me, such a lucky number with six 9s

...
Not me:
2M th user (1999995)
I am 2M th user (1999999)

Hi guys, I am glad to take the uid #1999999.
Congrats on beating me allahabadialt.

Congrats yours is just as unique have six 9 while 2000000 have six 0

I honestly like your positive thinking. I may not have thought about this, just assumed it to be a cool number and left :

[DeathAngel]

Wonder how many of the 2 million are legit 1 account people. I bet there’s tens of thousands of alts on here, maybe more. Pretty cool to have 2 million though any way I guess.
