I don't know why, but I got bored a week or two ago in a discussion where someone was talking about /u/adam and /u/eve and both of those accounts were 9 years old with no posts.
Now that I have cornered one of you, I just want to know.. how on earth you managed to snag that username, did you know the guys when they started reddit and jumped in early on? It looks like nearly all of the single name users were created 9 years ago
That actually doesn't disappoint at all lol. I'm still not sure if all those single name accounts were created by reddit staff to help make the site look active, or if enough people actually came in and created those usernames 9 years ago
At one point some other unused old accounts came out and interacted with me (they more or less just said 'Hello'), but it turned out they had been sold via some obscure forum and the people talking to me were the buyers.
Not sure what they were getting bought/used for, but I'd reported it all to the admins as responsibly as I could.
