Uhm... weird message from the past?

V-Ormix · 04-11-2011, 12:15 AM

Yeah so I was on my original ormix account and noticed I had 1 new message and this is what showed up... any ideas as of to what this is? is this some sort of joke from a mod?

I remember when the site crashed after the revival and Sprite said he may have had to resort back to 2004 FFR, but then things went back up again. It's just like how Rubix's join date says 1969, 1969 is apparently the default date when no value is given?

Yeah I guess that makes sense... just seemed awfully weird :/

In UNIX systems, the time is internally represented as seconds elapsed since the stroke of midnight, 00:00 GMT, January 1st, 1970. If this counter gets reset to zero or somehow becomes negative (see: site ****ups), it'll just say 1969.

January 1st 1970 = 0 Unix time
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

Just means the timestamp is invalid / empty.

If I go back far enough in my pms all of them say that they are 41 years old.

Anything that old probably wasn't worth keeping.

Yeah I noticed this in my pm inbox as well but knew it was some type of glitch or something so i just kind of ignored it.
