A 50 years old thread?

[Goaty1208]

So, i was searching the oldest thread in the forum but then I found a thread by Guest for the forum rules which wasn't from 2011. It was from 1970. I will now search it again and put a link here. 

Found it, it is in the last page of the announcements

And it was posted on 1 Gen 1970.

And on Google Trend the first time Ksp was researched was on 1 Gen 2008.

This is  getting sinister

This might be related to the Unix Epoch. Most definitively a software bug. The only other option i can speculate is that the forum devs snuck it in as an easter egg.

It's Unix.  The first date is January 1, 1970 UTC, so if you're in the Western hemisphere, it's December 31, 1969.  I think it's caused by a nasty date stamp, so it went to the first date as a result.

Yup, this is caused by one of the forum migrations we've done.   It's nothing new.   Just a funky date stamp.   No reason to post a link, there's a few of them floating around.

The forum lost the date for those threads, so it appended the date '0' for them. Computers use a common calendar where date '0' is midnight on January 1, 1970.
