Mine is on the order of 503 million, and there definitely weren't five hundred million users when I joined in... late 2006, I think.

For what it's worth, I am, and I still get a 0.

If you get a 0 for your user ID, I have to imagine you are not logged in. I get a JSON object that shows "is_fb_employee" going to a literal false value.

"I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that yid was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him about it; but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck. So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch."

So, uh, yid has been let go?
