    How old is this website...

    I stumbled apon a user called Anonymous, and I noticed that his join date is 05-11-1978!!! I have my doubts that this sight has even been around for that long. I wonder how he changed the join date...

    If you don't believe he, here is the link to his public profile. Go see for yourself:

    Another interesting point is him posting on a linux forum in 1970, over 20 years before linux was created... IIRC the original UNIX was from 1969 too? Fast progress I have to say...

    I figured that, just though it would be funny to post this guys profile. Mabe he hacked the server, and changed the values, to mess with people's minds. You never know what people will do these days...

    1-1-1970 @ 12:00 A.M. is "ground zero" for the UNIX/C timebase. What you see in "Last Activity:" will be offset by the difference between your local time and GMT.
