So here's the true list of Founding Users -- those accounts created before the site went "public". Most were associated with the standup of the site in some way. Others were their friends/coworkers.

chromatic and robo joined a little later.

Note that there were, of course, other accounts created during that timeframe: administrative and "non-player" accounts such as root, faq_monk, and Anonymous User, as well as test accounts by vroom and nate such as Perl Friar, sgtbaker, and Master Aalnan.
