Strange User
« on: December 13, 2008, 05:23:40 pm »
A user that appeared in the Members roster about a month ago, I think, and says that he/she/"it" joined in "1969-12-31". How is that near possible if the site was created in 2003? And it's named "Collaboration". What is it for?

I checked out it's profile and it appears "Collaboration" hasn't registered at all. As for the whole 1969-12-31 deal, I believe it glitched to the lower limit for dates post-y2k. Probably an admin test account.

That was Chrono'99's original account. A little after we moved from PHPNuke to PHPBB forums, it somehow locked him out (if I recall correctly) and he began posting with his current account. I retained and renamed it Collaboration for planned use in posting articles with multiple authors back when the Compendium used a forum backend for content.

The next thing you know they'll be asking questions about Mr. Tuesday and Viper Manor, then the truth will start coming out.

It's kind of eerie, all this Compendium history. Makes me want to  study and overanalyze as much as we do the games :lol:.

Yeah, sounds like a new time-travel story...
Since a lot of systems use 1970-1-1 as the earliest time available, so 1969-12-31 is surely in the Darkness before Time.

If you adjust to GMT, Collaborations's registration time is probably 1970-1-1. It's due to the timezone difference that it's the day before.
