IMDb registration date from Registration Code?

My IMDb profile says I have been an IMDb member since October 2000. However, I have email from IMDb from December 1997 showing my Registration Code as 10273 (using the same email address that I have always used on imdb.com). Can my registration date be confirmed from that code number? Furthermore, I contributed an addition to a title in IMDb in September 2000, for which I have an acknowledgement from IMDb.

@rchapman We reset the registration system in 2000 so this is the earliest date available to customers, sorry.  A few early team members, including myself, have dates prior to 2000, but those were special edits years ago as part of an anniversary celebration.  My date is 17 October 1990 which was the day IMDb was launched, however, we did not have a registration system until 1996 -> https://www.imdb.com/user/ur1000000/

Yes, that's my profile. Its URL looks like my Registration Code is 15862, different from the one I received in 1997.
