Are you going to get any special equipment or mementos for crossing over to the world of the dans?

Congrats. Now for the real question. Why does KGS analytics work the way it does?

After way too much work, I can say I've played 1036 games on my main account at KGS. There was also a blitz account for a while, and I've played some on IGS, and maybe 300 games in person. I'm a solid 4k right now (I was jumping between 2k and 3k two or three years ago).

Congratulations! I've played about 600 games online, plus maybe 100 serious in person games? Hopefully I won't be too long after you, but congrats again on your big accomplishment.

I peeked at 1d border after gaining half a stone from my usual level at 0.5k. Now I dropped back at 1k after losing a couple of games. It may take some months of vigorous studying to really be called 1d player (at 1.5d level), but I wanted to commemorate the moment of breaching the barrier anyway :)

Many thanks everyone!
