My friend, you would not tell with ſuch high zeſt
To children ardent for ſome deſperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum eſt
Pro patria mori.

A few days ago I came across that website archive page where you can see various pages as they were years ago. Naturally I looked up my Mongul Knights chapter, and noticed the chapter ID back then was 3044. Looking at the ID now though shows it to be just 304.

I was wondering whether the IDs were shifted downwards to fill the vacancies caused by deleted members and chapters, and whether this was a regular thing. If so, it would have been odd to see a shift that made our clan's new ID exactly the same as before, only minus the last digit...

They were just filling in the gaps. That's all.

But I'd sure like that if they did it to the member ID's. I sware half a million of those ID's have been banned, or left. I'd just like to see the real digit of members.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

The gap is because when we changed the 7th Column to the New Hotness, the database was change drastically. When the transfer was done, it essentially recreated your groups in the database.

As for users, the user ids are not reused, although old accounts are deleted eventually.

So it was one crazy coincidence that mine was changed from 3044 to 304? That's pretty damn funky! :D

Yeah.

But think of it this way

3 + 0 + 4 = 7.

Yeah. Everything went down by pretty much exactly an order of magnitude. I was 733, and now I'm 76. Now just imagine if one more person who joined before me had remained active.

I think I'm going to find that person and kill them now.

Maybe in the future they'll redo everything again. Then maybe I can get my old number back of 4212.
