Whats with our registration dates??
I se that most members(inc myself) seem to have registered in January 1970??
This is highly unlikely, unless I could use the internet from inside my mother...
Anyone knows why it is like that??

This is the 3rd generation of the forum board software.
The first software stored the join dates fine, however the second one didn't. Now all the people who registered on version 2 have join dates of 1970 (because 0, or nothing, is Jan 01 1970 00:00:00 in UNIX time - which is how it is stored in the database).
Once other more important "to do" tasks are completed on the new software, Simon/Shaun are going to run a script which will look for anyone with a 0'd join date, and set it to the date of their first post.
Hope this explains ok for you.
