      Not really a new discovery, most people have known about this since late '06 or '07. But kewl.

        Notice how it says FFR R1 Music Producers as his user group (I believe CnB has this designation as well). I didn't know Sektone comprised of multiple people. o_o


        But yeah, assigning 12-31-1969 is the internet standard for something with an unknown starting date/uploading date, etc. (IIRC)

          Really old/inactive accounts/data are dated to 1969. I don't know the reason, but I'm pretty sure this is well-known. No need for a topic.

            696969
            yeahhhh

            On a more serious note, IIRC, an early 70's operating system was programmed to think "the beginning of time" was 1-Jan-1970 00:00. Some modern things put 31-Dec-1969 11:59 as a timestamp as a way to show that the time was undefined. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

              '69 was the year that the greatest camaro was ever produced. Plus I 69'd your mom last night, in my '69 camaro.... on the corner of 69th and Madison.
