Assuming userid is assigned incrementally, I found this user has the lowest userid which is 7. But, what happened to lower userids? Are they deleted or for some unknown reason, the numbering started from 7?

Bonus: Who proposed the idea of this site in Area 51? When did this site come in existence (private beta, public beta, launch)?

There doesn't seem to be a user 1. The lowest user I can find is Geoff Dalgas, who was user #2. I believe he is a member of Stack Exchange. As for who proposed this site, look at the Area 51 definition page, and you can see it was jmfsg.

    @SachinShekhar as with pretty much every other date on the site, hover your mouse over it.
