As you probably noticed, I never come here.

That's just because I almost never feel like posting, so I never bother logging in but I lurk a lot.

Anyway, today people's names are colored. Why is that?

Were you here for when the Forum would occasionally warp to December 31, 1969 or whatever?

Yeah, it's that. Hippies were running amok.

That was a different reason.

This is because Stu is a Jeff Gordon fan and wanted our forum to look like Gordo's old car.

What was the reason for that date, then? Were the admins all facing a midlife crisis?

It was a Unix/Linux thing.
That was caused when, for some reason, the forum didn't have a record of the time of a post, so it defaulted to the earliest possible time.
Time starts for Unix/Linux at 00:00:00.0 on 1 January, 1970.
Your time zone setting moved it backwards.

Ok you two... the reason they are colored is because I went insane this afternoon and volunteered to change the color of anyone's name who wants it. Just send me a PM (so I don't have to constantly watch this thread).

Edit: But, they aren't colored anymore. Sorry guys
