        Yeah, I thought mine was low and I had a 7-digit number.

        It started with a 1 though, so I was cooler than all those other 7-digit slowpokes 😎

      You were still on in 03? I figured everyone migrated by then, or at least were using Trillian.

      Also, 5 digits? l337

      I tried to sell a five digit id in college on ebay when I really needed some cash, and they terminated the auction on me. It was over $200 in mid-00’s money. I’m not still bitter.

      Gosh, I wonder if I could find mine through old backups. I’m too lazy to discover the answer to this question. I just thought it was an interesting possibility.
