  • December, 1969?

    Why is it that I have December, 1969 as my registering date? I know that a few other people who have been around a while have that too...but why does it say that? Is it because this account was in existence back with the old Ultimate and Greek forums, or what?

          For people registered before mid-february 1999 the registration dates were not kept. The vBB software treats an empty date field as 1-1-1970, 0:00 hours, which is why you show up as Jan 1970. But the register-date and time is in GMT, so if you have set your time to a timezone that is GMT -x it will show up as Dec 1969.

                There were (or still are?) some free providers here that cut their costs by not providing email-addresses to their customers. They just told their customers that they could get an email address from free email sites like Hotmail or Yahoo.

                Maybe Hoek also has such a provider.

                      I find it amusing that my registration date is 9 years prior to my birthdate.

                      It should at least be possibe to change it to the date Apolyton took its current form. Or replace the entry with a "From the beginning" text. In just looks silly as it is.

                        1969, quite a year. First man landed on the moon, first colour televisions and the first people registered at Apolyton...nearly 2 decades before the advent of the internet

                          The "First" colour tv was back in the 30s. I know that because of there is a Trivial Pursuits question on it. As we know the first Apolytoner was unlikely to be registering in '69. I see a pattern - are we sure that man landed on the moon (in '69).

                            I wouldn't trust Trivial Pursuit. According to them, there was only <strong>1</strong> moon landing (which is either too low or too high depending on your taste for conspiracy theories ).

                              Apolyton was always ahead of its time
