SDMB Username Search: How many characters until you're the only option in the dropdown?

I have to type all of Skald.

  1. I have to get to the ‘e’ in Lendervedder before I’m exclusive.

There are at least 15 Happys in the system. I imagine there are probably more, but the thing only puts out 15.

  1. Many begin with echo.

There is an Echo Seven Delta who has exactly one post from about 4 years ago.

Eight, including the space.

I’m in competition with The Hamburglar, who hasn’t posted since 2003.

Eight, that is “radicalp”. As you might imagine, there’s a couple other radicals here. I don’t know how to find out when they’ve last posted though.

3 for me.

As soon as I hit the ‘E’ it drops from 15+ to only me. 5 letters.

“Digital” gives me the max 15. The space apparently is ignored. “Digital i” is unique to me.

So 9, including the space.

'Warga" leads directly to me and only me, so - 5.

Some of these names which show up with no posts are spammers that have been banned — in case anyone is wondering.

I have to type 11 characters before I’m the only one in the list. Is that a record? :slight_smile:

5

The 7th’s letter is the charm. The apostrophe brings the list to just me.
At 3 or 4 letters my name doesn’t even show up.

Just three. ‘Lo-’, and it’s me. Can’t get anything for two letters.

I gotta go to 5, at 4 “drew” I get 15 different people. At drewt, it’s just me :slight_smile:

Even five letters in, there were four options. Finally, “Sternv” left me as the only possibility.

There are 3 Intergalactics, I have to type 14 letters to get to unique.
