Major WTF moment

From: room101 | Posted: 02/06/2009 8:39:48 AM
This guy:
www.gamefaqs.com/boards/user.php?board=938686&topic=41519092&user=3533940
just showed up in a fetch of mine as account number 0.
I've checked and he has indeed been added as that.
What's the Hampden?

Okay, something very weird is going on.
Just fetched this guy:
www.gamefaqs.com/boards/user.php?board=939093&topic=40776002&user=344020
except he was added as User ID 34558.
I noticed him because he's well-known as the author of an excellent GTA FAQ, and I couldn't believe he wasn't already in the system.
And of course, as it turns out, he was already in the system, with the correct ID, but the fetch allowed him to be re-added with a new ID.
What gives?

I'll stop fetching for the time being (a) because this issue needs to be resolved, and (b) because going from the time of this topic's creation, I've spent four hours fetching, which is absolutely ridiculous.

[edit] I should add that the profile I linked to was the profile as linked to from the topic fetched to generate the new User ID

A result of the glitch that I discovered in May.

I've already reported it.

Oh right, that's what it is. I didn't think to check the messages above them.

0 happened again. The username listed (Adoh) should actually be under 4847267.

Remove 51670, 53290 and 337906.

5, 2667, 51670 and 199534 needs to be removed. Also, change 5353502 to LightScizor.
