    I do. In fact as part of the reddit exodus, and the shut down of hardocp, I found myself going over there more often as part of my “scan of the internet”.

    six digits here too, loooooowwww six digits.

    Oh yeah, mines 6 digits, but the first 3 are 101. I started using it more when Reddit enshittified too much.

  All depends on what that first digit is.

  What about my Fark account number being a low 6 digit number (It would have been lower, but I just lurked for a year first).? Or how far I got in various MUDDs on My local BBS. I need someone to recognize my internet clout!!

  I’m a bit older, but this reminds me of back when people used to shame people with 8 digit SteamIDs, because they were obviously noobs, compared to 7 digit people, and of course the 6 digit people.

  Bwah, my 7 digit one starts with a 0, yours starts with 8, [insert various slurs]!

  And now the entire format has been through I think like 3 total revisions or something?
