And that's funny - why?
Good to see you're still around! Haven't heard from you in a while. Btw, I was 19
Just as an fyi, since you're so young , that's a default date that the board used to assign and maybe still does. So, I doubt that it's real. But, then, you probably already knew that and were just trying to see who was alert?

Haha, that got me thinking then as I was pretty sure desktop PC's were fairly rare at that time (I was 7). I had to do some digging and found this on the phpBB website;

Interesting though they had a 'default' date that was so far behind the date when the product was actually available. Maybe it has something to with the timestamps were handled back then.

The Unix epoch (or Unix time or POSIX time or Unix timestamp) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (in ISO 8601: 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z). Literally speaking the epoch is Unix time 0 (midnight 1-1-1970), but 'epoch' is often used as a synonym for 'Unix time'. Many Unix systems store epoch dates as a signed 32-bit integer, which might cause problems on January 19, 2038 (known as the Year 2038 problem or Y2038).

So, 12/31/1969, is a representation of an invalid date
For me, this is a funny date. I was born 1970, and at that time there has nobody known of the internet-technology. *gg*
I've often seen 01.01.1970 but never 1969!
The site with the courios date is
