How did you get seven from 64 bits?

64 signed integer = 7 + 9,223,372,036,854,775,801 members. Seriously

I ask a few simple questions, get a few reasonable answers, then you have to turn the thread into a sh-...crap hole...

User IDs are 64-bit signed integers (although technically nothing is preventing them from being 64-bit unsigned integers) and are not reused even if a user is deleted.

I don't think we have to worry about that problem.


Well, since it'd be the difference between 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 [or ~1,500,000,000 times the human population] and 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 [~3,000,000,000 times the human population] potential users, I doubt we'll need that changed any time soon. :s
