A possible glitch?

I was looking through profiles and came across Bo Holbrooks, and it says his last login date is December 31st, 1969? Am I spotting a glitch or just something that'll get this post deleted?

Actually, that date should probably be Jan. 01, 1970. It is encoded in the database using unix time stamps, where the number 0 equals 01/01/70, this is called the unix epoch. Judging from what happened, (Bo was banned) Chad set the last logged in box in his profile as “-1” this being a way in programming to represent not being there. This is why, after retrieveing the data from the db, it converts it into time… and since it is set at -1, as 1 second behind the epoch… the date is Dec. 31, 1969 23:59:59.

It is currently 1,039,036,823 seconds past the epoch.

You see this is why I belive in a suspension. Because it's odd when you say he was banned again. Also, Ectoman, you must go to a pretty crappy school if they don't teach you that sorta stuff. I know my Public School isn't the best but it has a few courses where it'll teach those programing skills.
