User #333 here. Back in the day, someone offered me oral sex for the low user number. What a perfect metaphor for the dot-com era: offering to wildly overpay for a social media asset that would eventually turn out to be useless.

But if course you wouldn't have taken the offer, /.ers never have sex. That would require leaving mom's basement!
They could do it in ASCII, on IRC.
How do you know the proposal was real!? :)
