Since AG is within 2,000 users of a million, I decided to create this thread to celebrate 1 million users on AG. Do not confuse this thread with "What should happen when we hit 1,000,000 users?" as that is a what to do thread while this one is a celebration.
That's not a great idea either.... most people I find in exit path and colony have 0 AP but they still use the account. I'd say, If a guy has 0 AP AND he hasn't logged in in about a year, then it's safe to delete the account. But hopefully in ag3 AP from games will help to understand what accounts have actually been forgotten.
Here is Graham's How Many Ghosts? study. It basically is a bunch of screenshots taken at various 100k milestones that show how many accounts have less AP than X amount. The most interesting thing with his latest update is the finding that about 96.6% of AG's accounts have less than 100 AP.
For the first month that I was on AG I played games and didn't rate or comment.
Yes, I was. I didn't bother commenting, posting, or rating for my first month on this site. So, September 14th to late October I didn't do anything but play flash games.

There's a way to find the exact millionth user. I'm not sure of the way the system counts permanently banned users though, so I'm not sure how accurate it would be. There's some URL lookup you can use... maybe Graham might know what it is. Because I did at one point, and can't remember.
My estimate would be about 80% of the users here predominantly play games... and a significant proportion of forumgoers stay in the Newcomers and Forum Games section. Having a few tens of thousands of people regularly posting either comments, rating games or participating in the forums is pretty darn good.
