That is a forum bug which I think is caused by when someone deletes a post. For some reason the start date is in 1969, so that is what the forum software thinks the last post was made.

Thanks. Though why 1969? the forum wasn't even made around that time. My dad wasn't even around during that time.

It's 1970 for me. o.O

 

[Torgo]

That has to do with the timezone you set it as, infact I think the starting date is January 1st, 1970 12:00 pm, though I am not entirely sure. I think it is just a date so that they could be more obvious when something went wrong, but don't take my word for it.

The 1970 is a Linux thing IIRC. I don't remember what the reasoning was though.

 

[Monster Iestyn]

What? I not using a Linux, and I don't even have one.

Or was what you said nothing to do with it?

The web host(sepwich) uses Linux.

 

[Monster Iestyn]

I never knew that...

I wonder if posting in that forum would get rid of this glitch, for now...

 

[Sniperific]

Fixed it =P

I think it was because the last person to post a reply was permanently banned or something.

 

[MotorRoach]

That happened to me too, but was 1970

It actually has nothing to do with the host OS that the server is running on.

No, the Linux Epoch isn't only used by Linux. Lots of programs use it.

EDIT: Same time post.

It's a glitch that phpBB has. It does it on another forum that I go to. Except it says "Dec 31 1969 12:00 AM".

1969 was the year in which the concert "Woodstock" was ...lol

PHP4's epoch is January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT, in EST tome zone, it's December 31 1969 00:20:00 EST, aka "December 31 1969 8:00 pm"

This is why I'll never truly understand PHP ¬_¬

 

[Kaysakado]

An epoch is sort of like a beginning time for an OS/language. Everything else had nothing to do with PHP.

loldublepost due to being lazy.

Just see this, actually. It gives a better explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time
