Are you sure you know about the community?
Being IDist is a thing that ended after like the 2ks or 3ks where it started to get to such a high number that people stopped caring about how high your id is.
are you kidding me, when i first bought my key a bunch of servers autobanned me for being a 30k.
never mind that I was 30051 or that i had been playing the demo for over a year, nope, banned.
one particular handicap decided to "prove his superiority" by challenging me. I smacked him down in DMing, building, and even had him beat in scripting (idiot couldn't find his way through anything TS-wise) and he finally just insulted me a bunch and left.
Best part: he was part of the notorious idiot clan of the time, FWN.
