A Very Odd Member From 1969 - Before ATS

forum.hrwiki.org...

This is the Unix Linux reason.... ATS/ BTS server is probably a Unix server

I can confirm the "epoch" date issue, coming from a UNIX background.

this site chronologically follows the development of computers and Operating systems.. this time line reveals the reason for default dates for various situations like Unix and Windows. Windows would be 1980 for instance ..linux 1970 but backdated to december 31 1969 by time zone coding

I hope this fully explains this MYSTERY

oh and time() to you too

In some of the past games events on ATS, there have been accounts created for giving clues.......those accounts have also had that date, I believe......That might not be the reason this one does, but that date has shown up before during 'hunts'.......

Then i can assume this is a game and i'm on the hunt

ahhhh.... "Those who are worthy will understand the grand confusion of our time"

no answer,

but a question, could a site owner be using that account as a type of archive, for publishing past comments before ATS came to be.
in effect having ATS act as a library for all their internet activity worth preserving?
having then a single source, instead of listing defunct web sites and other forums, etc


?? of couse it could be the game afoot as several suggest

Hellmutt gave the answer. Why does everyone keep making # up?

If you read my previous posts it explains why this person couldn't register properly his birthday may be the key

Who couldn't register? The guy you pulled out of nowhere?

they are archived from SportzTawk or came from there but they couldn't explain the date being dec 31.1969 i explained in the thread

The guy i think wrote them

No, it's because no one logged in with the account. Hellmutt said that. You didn't explain anything. But think whatever you want to think.

there was confusion as to why the date december 31,1969 showed up
it the default date for unix is 0 hour jan 1st 1970 but because of the time zone setting .. it .backed up to December 31 1969 that was confirmed in the next post

there's no sign up date in the database therefore there might not be an account
when the php script ? queried that field it returned date(void) and defaulted so if it is an account its database records are not complete thats why it all blank in spots no points and stuff no nic it could be files dump in someones folder to like a repository or reference files you would have get the info from the big guys on that really i don't care the sign up date thing tweaked my brain because that date triggered unix linux memories I'm running linux right now so.... i haven't databased in years so i flashed at first to y2k and 00 problem.

here's some more info relative to this thread

GMT/UTC -1 = WAT and that =Evil

and thats why you get the date December 31st 1969

Its a glitch in the system!

That happens when they change something...
