Are there big gaps in the early user ids? I'm 4145801 and received this message.


Twitter employee, here. At one point in time, auto_increment_increment was > 1 on the MySQL master for uid generation. This led to many holes in the uid range.


Yeah - I'd say there are big gaps. I'm 1577581 and got the email. You can check people's join dates here http://www.whendidyoujointwitter.com/


Thanks! I'm 793689, joined 25 February 2007, and got the e-mail.
