Since this is stickied, there's no harm in mentioning that the 1970 date above is because UNIX systems count the number of seconds since Jan 1st 1970 to store dates. If the date field isn't set to anything, or is set to zero, then it will be Jan 1st 1970.

If this thread is still active in 2038, you get to see it wrap around to 1970 again.
