I have been following a trail for a day or two now and give up and am putting it out there. Maybe this will help dont know. Heres what I've learned.

I checked ATS for a memebr named 'theartist' because of the email on macronyc.com He had an odd date of 1/1/1970. I learned this is the date all computers go back to, to tell what time it is.

Dont know if this helps. I also learned every XMB forum has a user that has this date as a 'Last Active' date. See if it leads to anything.
