Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
So, is this a question as to what's happening with your program? If so, Dec 31 1969 is the date of -1, 1 second before the UNIX epoch. Whatever info you're sending to date(), probably isn't what you think it is.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
I believe he's talking about the join date here.. in which case we've talked about it before.. there was an error at some point just after the site crash a few months ago..
