2-15-99 is the date the UBB script started tracking registration dates. It didn't have this capability before this date. On most other sites that utilize the UBB script, people who registered their handles before this date simply don't have any information in that position. On Apolyton, it shows b.02-15-99 (before 02-15-99) so that people may gasp in awe when they realize how long you've been here already ( ). I assume Markos installed this little modification.

I registered in April 99 so mine says Apr 99.

On a sidenote, when the UBB folks first started tracking the registration dates in Feb 99 they put in a 2-digit year number. As the year 2000 approached, they changed this to a 4 year digit one, which is the reason why you will see that folks who registered from feb 99 until july or august or so only have 2 digits, and those who registered after that time (not sure of exact month when that occurred) will have the full 4-digit year, as well as the month, naturally.
