I believe this member is actually number #162394 if you look at the last 6 digits in his link
The counter reports #100000 because I think accounts that have been banned, marked as spam, or deleted are not included in the member counter.
So, if a wave of users get banned or deleted I believe the counter will go back down below 100,000

As example Null is member #1 by looking at the last number in the URL
Random account from 2013 at #495
Random account from 2015 at #8499
Random account from 2020 at #68780

The real account #100000 goes to joined on Sep 10, 2021

Edit: For clarification, the number in the forum statistics only reports the current number of unbanned/valid accounts. This number changes over time. As older accounts get banned, the number decreases and as new accounts join, the number increases. If a wave of users get banned, the number will drop below 100,000. To find out how many members joined before you, look at the last digits in your URL: this is the real membership number. Anyways, none of this shit matters anyways.

The user ID is still a shit metric because that's just the user database entry ID. Assuming that between 1 and 100000, user ID 5 is the only account that's outright gone from the database, the user with the ID of 100000 is still not the 100000th user.

When a user gets outright deleted, the entire table isn't adjusted for there to not be any empty entries because it would create more problems than it would solve. And there might be user ID gaps in the database that happened during migrations or other server fuckery.

Only @Null can give a concrete answer of what exactly the front page counter shows, how many empty user database entries there are and if there are large gaps in it that weren't caused by account deletion which leads to the inflated user ID.

My bet is that the front page statistics only show valid database entries and don't take shit like banned accounts into consideration. If it exists in the database and isn't just an empty row, it's a user, so it counts.
