What a bonkers move by stack exchange.

The new username: "user4616250" is ringing a bell... Didn't 4chan used to give everyone names like anon4616250? It's got real V-for-vendetta vibes.

I don't know if it's in any way relevant, but IMDB has the movie "The perfect weapon" under that id (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4616250/)

Or it could be a reference to the Portuguese patrol ship Viana Do Castelo, which has that very registration number! I think there are so many numerical ID schemes in use that you'd be able to find something relevent for any large number.

Perhaps, but can you find something more relevant than The Perfect Weapon?
