See! InspectorExstead 08-21-2002, 06:44 PM :lol: Sean Snow 08-21-2002, 07:20 PM LOL Yeah I've noticed that too. It's been there awhile. I wonder why that shows up . . . :confused: FOLrocks1 08-21-2002, 07:25 PM LOL! that's funny! Is it supposed to be 1999? Montana Ponine 08-21-2002, 07:25 PM OMG lol!!! :lol: That's funny! Sean Snow 08-21-2002, 07:48 PM Originally posted by FOLrocks1 LOL! that's funny! Is it supposed to be 1999? Nope. LucyCompanyPhan registered in 2001, so she couldn't have posted it. Also, there isn't a topic for any of those three *shrug* Glitch I guess. Truth 08-21-2002, 07:53 PM It also says theres members that registered in 1969....

Hollow 08-21-2002, 07:57 PM this site wasnt made in 1999 Impressions 08-21-2002, 08:12 PM If you look now the year lists as 1970. GoldenGuy 08-21-2002, 08:24 PM it's getting closer:lol: DarleneIllyria 08-21-2002, 08:32 PM Remember how everybody said in the year 2000, computers were going to screw up? I guess since it was 12-31-99, it experienced some kind of glitch that turned the year 99 into 69. I'm not sure why it went to that certain year, but I chalk it down to that. Swimfan85 08-21-2002, 09:05 PM wait did they even have computers in 1969?

Yes, they did have computers before 1969. Only big companies and organizations had them. Even way back before then. Most of the public didn't have access to them like today. Most of them were the size of an average room. Some were even bigger, especially the Super Computers. If anyone is interested, do a search on the history of computers and the Internet and you'll be amazed. :) TV Favorites 08-22-2002, 10:36 AM If I remember correctly, TJ used to use another message board before VBulletin. VBulletin's default date is December 1969, so those are probably messages from the old board before we moved to this one.

But I doubt that it's that. It seems more like a glitch. I remember looking at it a few months ago and it was perfectly fine *shrug* Charlie Max 08-22-2002, 11:47 PM Originally posted by Shane West's Angel I was on the threes company board and i was bored....so i decided to read old topics. so i clicked on page 21.......and the last post on that page was posted on December 31st 1969!!!!!! lol i know thats probably a mistake but i wanna know how that happened! See! It's probably a computer glitch or like Jenny said, the Y2K thing. Three's Company wasn't even on in 1969. Warm & Fuzzy 08-23-2002, 01:47 AM Hey... I remember reading a topic similiar to this like... a long time ago, lol. - That or I'm losing it again. Anyone else remember? :D Sean Snow 08-23-2002, 06:00 PM Originally posted by Jo's the bomb Hey...

LOL That was about a member having the register date of 'December 31 1969' skyforge 08-24-2002, 04:43 AM This doesn't explain what's going on, it's just a little background information. The UNIX and Windows operating systems store dates as a single number which represents the number of seconds since January 1, 1970. 0 = Midnight, January 1, 1970 1 = 12:00:01 AM, January 1, 1970 1030177303 = 8:21:46 AM, Aug, 24, 2002 Negative numbers just work backwards from 1/1/70: -1 = 11:59:59 PM, Dec 31, 1969 This ends todays computer science lesson. And remember that, despite what science or religion tells you, the beginning of time is really January 1, 1970. I could explain what's going to happen on January 19, 2038 but I'd have to explain things like 32-bit integers, two's complement notation and the concept of wraparound. If you were at all interested in that stuff, you'd probably already know it by now. :) Charlie Max 08-24-2002, 04:54 AM Originally posted by skyforge This doesn't explain what's going on, it's just a little background information.
