My Slashdot uid is six digits starting with a 1 which makes it 20 years old this year. We've been out drinking regularly!
Don't want to think about mine being only 5...
Also 5 digits. And I got one of the T-shirts for drawing a logo they used for one day in the month they were celebrating their 15th anniversary. Of course, these days they are having too much trouble just keeping the site online to celebrate 20. I've changed my password there once or twice over the 20 years; I know the original one (which was used on countless different web sites when I was young and stupid) has been compromised.
Bonus WTF (or, how many WTFs are there in this paragraph?): Originally I was /dev/joe there with the slashes. 20 years ago, people didn't think about you having a different display name from your username the way some sites do now, so that was actually the username I logged in with. At some point, some rewrite of their login system broke it so logging in with username and password didn't work if your username had slashes, and I poked them about it but nothing was done. I was still able to log in using OpenID from a livejournal account I had linked there, so I didn't bug them too hard about it for a couple more years. When that broke too I had to poke them again about the problem and eventually they just made me devjoe without the slashes rather than fix their bugs. And, keep in mind, this is SLASHdot.
