So I was browsing the shoutbox and a person named dem0n1x motioned the touch arcade forums. Which lead me to this thread. THE THREADLiterally the first activity in the game with the first ever rated level. Plus a level which judging by the name and robtops response probably inspired the UFO game mode. Pretty cool stuff imo. I'm not even close to the first to find this I just thought it was cool so I'm posting it here if anyone else wants to give it a read. Also did you know that darnoc had the first ever rated level? Like the same darnoc who now has over a hundred creator points and is now 49 on the creator leaderboards. Idk just thought that was strange to think about.

While we're at it, Darnoc was actually the founder of THIS forum and its first admin 7 years ago! It's also been said that the popularity of his level Wave Wave also may have served as partial inspiration for RobTop to implement another gamemode aside from the ufo - the wave - into GD back in 1.9, although it is up for debate.
Man, what a blast from the past that thread is.

Thanks GDBrowser for the info lol.

Thanks GDBrowser for the info lol. yeah, he's got to have had one of the longest 'runs' (if that terminology makes sense) in GD among notable people (how many active players are there from the earliest updates today?).
and apparently my own account ID is 468, wow, must've been early then (whether it were to 1.9 or 2.0)

When 1.9 released I remember most people being unregistered with green usernames still, but when 2.0 released with all the profile and friending features, the vast majority of people moved over.

Cloud saves were a thing in 1.9, that was the main thing pushing accounts back then - playing on multiple devices. 1.9 also showed more people as green than it should have - saved levels didn't remember account IDs until 2.0, so everything you played from Saved used to show a green username, regardless of whether or not said person was registered.

Ah, so that's why I have that misconception lol, I guess more people were registered to begin with than I thought. I was spending more time playing around on GD than learning anything about it so this is new and interesting to me.

Yes, it's theorized Exact-Psience was the first GD player ever (RobTop has player id 16, darnoc 20. Who were the ones in between? The people on the forum). As he said "insta buy" pretty early he probably bought it before Bronxta who was questioning about the game. Bronxta may have been Player 19, and someone else 18, or it could be something different entirely. Just theories.

User ID 19 was Banaan who made "Level 1" (ID 131), User ID 17 was Storm who made "1st Level" (ID 128) and "Jumper 1 v1" (ID 132) before the levels got moved to a registered account. User ID 18 is currently unknown as far as I'm aware
