500,000 accounts

[yvi]

Sometime within the last few hours, the 500,000th account on Dreamwidth was created.

It was probably an OpenID account, maybe by importing: new personal/community/feed accounts show up in the "New Accounts" section on the Stats page, where I can only see thatdayismine (Created on 2010-04-13 22:21:39), who got number #499953 and after that carynknits_feed (Created on 2010-04-14 00:18:14) which already got #500025.

500,000 accounts in about a year. Even considering the massive number of OpenID accounts, this is impressive.

Very cool!

I'd be more excited if I didn't know of two people who recently kept creating account after account to try and sneak onto a comm they're banned from (and probably won't stop until they succeed.) :(

I'm happy to see all the legitimate people who have joined, though!

\0/ A significant milestone.

I was wondering, though, what is an identity account?

[yvi]

You probably know them as OpenID accounts. I am just used to calling them identity accounts because they are called that in Dreamwidth's code.

Oh yes, of course. And when someone imports their journal, they create a whole new bunch of them.

Thank you.
