Strictly speaking, sequential numbers can scale infinitely, so not the worst way to handle it.
That’s a very impressive UIN!

So back in the day, these were known as Universal Internet Numbers, or UINs. You have to admire the sheer audacity of using that name for the user identifiers of a service you're building. I believe they were renamed to "ICQ#" later.
