That's not quite right: there are 1M students seeking homework they are too lazy to do, a dozen admin, the six of us members, and the rest are all sock puppets!

Great foot tapping music. Had a beat I could enjoy.

I'm amazed that someone who is not Dutch knows this song!

This is the first time I heard it and it sounds great.

I was going to mention accounts that were voluntarily closed lest the teacher discover that they were created to get someone else to do assignments.

I was going to mention something about that and forgot, until now. The dates are weird. I don't know if you know all the history of this site but Chris sent out an e-mail to members of a different site about this one being started. At that point, those on that list were registered for this site. The curious thing is that happened on 6 July 2000 - several months before this site's incept date. You can see this by looking at my profile info.
The net effect is we were registered for the site before it existed.

I didn't join until many years later, and only became active last year, so I was unaware of this.

They did, but it was a uint16_t , so we're nearing the event horizon...

I think they use 32bit integers: certainly the notifications count doesn't fit in 16 bits, mine is standing at 88,266 unread messages.

In preparation for your rep point balance rolling over at 232 , all numerical integer types have been replaced with BigInt.

I have created so many tips I'd probably bump the scale a little myself.

Or you could go to the search page Search
and you would see something like "63,412 Results" just above the Filters on the top left.

That would have been easier, yes ...

I believe round numbers are milestones to be celebrated, so a party is in order when we reach the 65,536 th article.

If I remember correctly it is another site that he created.

I remember that he tried to recruit some of us to write articles there - for a change for money - but it turned out to be problematic (for me at least - tax related), but didn't know that he is the brains behind it...
