olderthannetfic:olderthannetfic:I used the data people gave me on my post about user ID numbers plus some other recent users I found to track accounts over time.This isn’t AO3 traffic. That jumped right away when FFN screwed the pooch, sending the invite queue from a wait of 24 hours to a wait of months. This is the actual user ID numbers accounts created at these different times had.Closed beta started on 3 October 2008. As you can see that on that first image, a few accounts got made right at the beginning for coders and committee members (#87, baby!), and then tester accounts got made over the rest of hat time. (The dots are just examples in my sample. Accounts would have been made all through that period, climbing from around 100 to around 1000 400.)AO3 entered open beta on November 14, 2009. (Not Nov 15 like in that recent post, unless things got delayed a day and I’ve forgotten?) And then the first big bump in numbers came from Yuletide!The first account in my sample is #8 — astolat — and the latest is #12,545,743, which was created on October 28th, 2021. #wait your id is just straight up the number of people who joined before you???#huh#mine is just under 2 mil#bonkersAs far as I know, yes. -- source link
