Likely from the fact that around the first of February, all of
the old, defunct ("dead") accounts without activity for a year
or so were merged into the 'Challenge' account.  A message was
posted on the list regarding the action from Scott), with the
"Hopefully nobody will mind" message.  There were no protests
as far as I recall...  

In fact, here's the message (which I just found!):

Hi all,

Following the database synchro we performed on PrimeNet yesterday,
we cleaned up some of the 'dead' user accounts over a year old.
The cumulative machine times were added to the Entropia.com, Inc.
'challenge' account, the first one opened on PrimeNet in April
1997.  Hopefully nobody will mind our reclaiming the fragmented
time.  :-)

regards,
scott
