Who is asailkat!?!?!?

Ok whilst really bored was surfing through AO's member pages trying to find the the earliest member (going by user id number - eg mine is 21941)

of course JP has #1 :) & Webmaster (AntiOnline Admin Automated Site Bot) has #3 with #2 pulling up a big blank -

I then started checking every 10th number 10/20/30 etc till i got a hit at 30 asailkat
so then to make sure he was the first i started at 21 & worked up to 30....yup no users in between so am taking from that that asailkat is the first member :) or a test done by JP is actually more likely when you look at the entries

Well you gotta look further on up the user id numbers to 35 where we find xraystan

so he was with us for 3 and a half months but has now gone on to different pastures :( so am back to square one.....

well I ain't bored enough (well not quite) to sit and go through every number to find a still active poster with the lowest user id - if you think you may be that person however please reply to this post and be announced as a true AO veteran

heh I did say at the begining of this thread that i was very bored >_<;

There seem to be a lot of users who signed up somewhere around Aug 2001 (just after AO got the facelift and new forums), who haven't posted anything at all, or who haven't posted for months.

At a wild guess, I'd say someone like Negative, Terr or Ennis would be one of the earliest users, I remember when there were only ~2500 of us and about 8 forums, how things have changed. ;)

hmmmmmm but then you gotta take int account those who signed up purely for the downloads as well........
or those peps who just lurk & read the posts but never reply

Yeah, you can't count the voyeurs as they don't contribute.

I didn't come to AO before July 2001, but I am pretty sure there was still a "membership" at the time. What I am trying to say is that on July 30, 2001, obviously there was a new database setup or something. I am sure there were people that came around before that though....

If I remember right we had to sign up to check our AO email.
