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.

Thanks for this, but I won't.

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".

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.

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.

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).

Quote from: theymos on April 03, 2018, 01:24:50 PM

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).

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).

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?

That's just wrong.

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

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

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.

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. :/

Is this the frozen one? I'm getting confused too.

(Viewing all members is temporarily disabled)

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).

So why would the numbers be so much different?

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.

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.

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.

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)!

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.

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!
