Hey, uh... how long has this site been around?

Just wondering.

The domain itself has been around for at least a year. The GFuserDB was hosted on my own PC at first, as a private project, but later moved to my subdomain here. This happened around the 10th or so of January. It had about 20,000 users when I uploaded it.

The forums were created soon after, and my registration date here shows when it was uploaded.
I will not use abbrev.

Ah, all right. So it hasn't been public very long.
You have the biggest GF user database I've seen, though. You must either have lots of contributors, or some people with a lot of time on their hands. Or possibly both. >_>

Seriously, though, I like it. I've already contributed some names, and I'll be sure to find some more.

I think the key to the success is that it's so easy to add new users. There's no wait time involved, it's 100% accurate, and requires no maintenance. The only manual work is tracking down inactive users from archives, adding them, and filtering out the ones that were wrong.

Another problem we're faced with is over 50% of the User IDs between 1635000 and 2990000 belong to GameSpot users.
