I’ll go first, to set the tone:

      I was among the first couple thousand to join gmail.

      People who think that my simple email address is their email address (which I guess is my email address plus some numbers or something) have become the bane of my existence in the years since.

        I’ve had at least three different people on different continents provide my Gmail address to various services. I’ve ignored most messages meant for those people, but one gave it to his lawyer when he was charged with a serious crime for which his conditions of release forbade contact with children. I took the time to tell the lawyer that’s nothing to do with me.

        I am, with the obvious username. I mostly only post in /r/flashlight now, as it’s the most active community anywhere online for that niche interest.

      I have a low-6-digit Slashdot account, and I was user 480 on the Minecraft bukkit forum lol

        I had a sub-5k Slashdot account. As I recall. Always found it weird how people made a big deal out of low ID users, but I swear nobody ever gave a damn about me.

        There’s a blast from the past! Thanks for the reminder. I have a 5-digit user ID account, and I just checked to find out that it’s still active. I probably hadn’t logged in for about 15 years, and it still has an email address that went away 25 years ago.
