Image ID numbers are off

The image IDs from Derpi are supposed to be matched in the PonerPics URLs, right? well, in the recent images, the ponerpics URLs are in the 6,068,000 range, while the Derpi IDs are in the 2,520,000 range.

Does this have anything to do with the mass uploads and the replacement of those mass uploads when the site was first having content added to it? Maybe the central ID counter counted up too high somehow?

Porter is a user importer. User uploads are above 6,000,000, staff imports are the only ones that copy derpi's data.

I could've sworn it was a bot. Are you sure it's a user?

@ToastedTruffles
It's a bot, but it's run by a user. Little different than if you or me had a script grab a bunch of images from derpi and upload them for us.
