  And for people who might be impressed, a 7 digit ICQ number proves they aren’t really old school.

    What about my 5 digit Slashdot uid number? Does anyone remember Slashdot?

      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.

    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!!

    All depends on what that first digit is.

    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?
