Numbers like 1, 13 and dare I say it 69 may raise a lot of interest.  Then
again this could be a good thing if people are prepared to pay for these
numbers via an auction and thus become a good money earner for Lugnet
Corporation.


I like the idea of auctioning them off.  Set the start price at $0.00 for each
number, if no one counterbids within say a week they get the number.

All numbers withing the range the database can handle are open from day one.
So if you want a particular set number, or part number then you can grab it.
And if you want your birthdate, lucky number, what'ever...

First month could be restricted to old timers bidding only, then you could open
it up to people who have posted 1000+ messages in the last year, or something
like that until all the people that should have first pick have had their
chance.

Then open it to everyone.  Maybe you'd make a couple $$$ for lugnet, maybe not.
But it should be fun...
