So, I guess the answer to my question is that users who subscribed to Apolyton before the forum program switch were assigned a date of Jan. 1970?

Because that was a date chosen by who?

To represent the dawn of the internet?

I'm not all that savvy about UNIX and such.

Was it due to the Y2K thing?


On another note, when exactly WAS Apolyton created?

What is your opinion on animated Civ2 avatars?

civ2??? damn, I thought it was an image of a galley from civ 3. As for animation...well, I'll let you be the judge of that.

The Y2K bug and the beginning of time bug both stem from how the date is stored internally in computers, but are different.

As a side note, my Tandy 1000's date function was killed by the Y2K bug. It won't accept any new dates put in, and I don't think it even counts seconds any more. Thankfully none of the software on that computer needs to use the date.

Question asked and answered... all of us old farts that had memberships before the upgrade show as either 1970 or 1969... not true, but we are still the old farts
