Wow, 2128 pages of members. A huge number signed up in Feb 99 when this thing came alive. I had to go way in to find myself and I came aboard on 4/7/99.

Makes you wonder how many of those on those 2,128 pages are still active.

That date indicates that the MySQL database did not receive a properly formatted date when the account was created. When that happens, MySQL will assume a default date, which is 12-31-1969.

Be very careful! If you find out the true answer (which is buried in a chest in Lowdermilk Park), you may be in danger.

Zero time in UNIX is 1 January 1970. One second less than that, or an un-entered/ nonexistent time, comes up in UNIX as 23:59 Dec 31, 1969.
