In the profile of some people on this forum it says they joined in 1970.

In 1970 we didn't have home PC's let alone the internet

Please explain?:confused:

All comes back to what some operating systems and databases treat a null or zero date as. In many Unix and MS variations this has always been 1/1/1970 although some applications (e.g. Excel) will actually treat it as 1/1/1900.

I too have also wondered this.

Are these people the original inhabitants of this site from when it first started?

I think this was explained a while back as a problem that happened when there was some sort of upgrade a few years ago. The dates were lost and reverted to 1970.

So it affected everyone who had joined before that upgrade, but I'm not sure when that was.
