Yeah, where'd he go?

1 post.

Pretty low key start for a forum that would eventually have over a hundred thousand users and a million and a half posts. Nice find.

Notice the /threads/1

Huh, and 2 of the people who replied where last active only a few days ago!

*Looks into forum thread 100149*

*Reads the title*

*Finds it hard to believe that the person simply found forum thread 1*

[Red Iron Crown]

Just tried the same thing with User Profiles, turns out there is no user 1. We are in the Matrix.

Has to do with the link. This thread is /threads/100149. The first thread is /threads/1.

User /1/ was, I think, the original server admin. That, or it's a reserved account used for vB functions.

That sounds unlikely, I'm pretty sure no user 1 is a confirmation of the Matrix.

Edit: O_O Not two minutes after writing the above my cell rang with caller ID blocked (and I hardly take any voice calls on my cell). Turns out it was a wrong number but I was just a bit tense answering it.

Well, here's user #2: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/members/2

The username is Alejandro. Maybe it's Alemagno12 v1.

Did you reply with "Operator"?

Did you reply with "Operator"?

If only I had the presence of mind, that would have been awesome! I just tentatively answered "Hello?".

"Who is number 1?"

"You are number 6"
