Everyone, on OGS, each user has their own unique query value—I have one, too.
The order is determined by the sequence in which users signed up for OGS; so, if you change the query value to 1, wouldn’t you be able to track the very first user?
Top 10 @timothy.edwards

Top 8 @dendy7h

Please give me heart
topazg and Arathlion are the first users of original OGS, but evidently on merging servers the PKs of the Nova rather than old OGS user table were retained.
Techically those first user-id’s belong to the old nova.gs users, while the first ogs users have user-id’s starting bit later ^^
Nova (establised by anoek) and ogs (ran by topazg) merged in 2013, basically nova absorbed ogs’s playerbase and took its name ^^
Pedantically, at time of merge OGS was run by dmg 
small pet peeve - OP, could you please stop asking for likes/hearts at the end of every topic? It feels a bit like watching one of those social media videos that constantly ask for “like and subscribe”. Just me probably, but that kind of stuff gives me a bit of anxiety.
Liking a post is free (for now), I’m sure if people like what you are writing, they will add a reaction. Thanks!
I’ll give it some thought.
No, not just you. Me too.
Well. What it gives me is not anxiety but rather contempt 
IMNVHO it is like with people who “like” their own posts and comments on social networks, which I like to compare with public masturbation.
I think we all feel the same.
But thought it could be offending to point out. Thanks for saying it.
Edit: So far my heart only belongs to Weiqi 
Not trying to pile up on OP, just thought it was a funny meme 
Anyway… to address the matter-of-fact at hand, as @_KoBa and @Uberdude already pointed out: that list would be the list of the first 10 usernames that were created on the server formerly known as Nova gs.
To equate them with individual users would be wrong since, for example, matburt, bdsmatburt and matwjones are all the same person (presumably each username existed for a different purpose). Even I have a few alts[1], which I shall take to the grave .
Also, bear in mind that Nova gs appeared in 2012 or so, while old OGS exists since at least 2005. Current OGS is the successor to both, therefore those aren’t even the oldest users in this server. For example (not a flex, just a fact) @trohde , Uberdude and I are all older users than that whole list.
So, you could say, it’s a matter of finding the starting point of OldGS users right!.. right? Well, that would yield user #2098 a.k.a Arathalion. That’s a good start! Let’s just take the numbers from #2098 to #2107 and call it a day.
But that would also be wrong! First of all, there is the issue of duplication which I mentioned before. But more importantly, there were people who had an OldGS account simultaneously as they had a Nova gs account. They were old users who wanted to try the new server in town. Topazg being the most notable that comes to mind.
Upon merging, users were numbered sequentially, first Nova users, and then OldGS users. However for those who had accounts on both sites, if they wished to merge their accounts, only the Nova gs id would prevail.
Therefore, you’d need to scour all those first 2097 ids to data mine their registration_date if you want to be sure, and then merge sort it with the post #2098 user list to have the complete sorted list. Oh, and don’t forget there are duplicates!
It would be a fun excercise, but time and resource consuming.
in the main site but not in the forums though, in case anyone is wondering. ↩︎
Have my heart @Chaerogo. I hope it helps you in your endeavors.
Apparently my first game on old OGS started on 02-01-2007 (played under my previous account, user id 5270): Challenge from topazg
100% agreement
the whole PLEASE CLAP thing is not a good look
it’s also good to keep in mind that likes on your topic don’t actually DO anything - besides give you a hit of endorphins
COMMENTS are what keeps a topic active and near the top of the forum page - for me that engagement is a much more interesting metric than likes on a particular comment or topic post
