It's worth noting that whilst the present migration is still in process, the magnitude is approximately 1/6 of extant profiles. That's more Academic than AOL scale.
At the time of the September that Never Ended, Usenet was ~1m total users (based on data from John Quarterman's The Matrix (1990) citing DEC researcher Brian Reid, which I've referenced in earlier HN comments). I believe AOL at the time was at least of an equivalent magnitude, if not several times this.
