Hey, I'm starting to get suspicious

Post by Dan Worley »

Why is it that all the long-time members of this forum joined it 1 minute after the hour? That's a little too weird for me. Are you all time synced from the future or something? What are you guys plotting, or do you even actually exist?

It is indeed unfortunate that you noticed this, now I am afraid that you will have to be dealt with for being so curious. Curiosity killed the...

…string theory says that all subatomic particles of the universe are nothing but musical notes. A, B-flat, C-sharp, correspond to electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and what have you. Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings.

Yeah... I have no reason why that is the case. Very strange. Maybe there's something on the phpbb.com board about that. If I were curious... I'd go look. However, if curiosity killed the cat, I'm obviously a dog when it comes to this issue. :mrgreen:

That's it lads, try to put him off the scent, we don't want him discovering the real truth, wouldn't be good for anyone.

Because that's when they turn legal.

Didn't the board have a bit of an overhaul several years ago? I remember some messages lost, for a while at least. Maybe the reset changed everything timelier on existing accounts.

What a ripoff!

Could be that all new members get registered at midnight, and the hour is just some timezone offset?

Yeah, I seem to recall some sort of board shut down or somethin like that and James had to go through contortions to get it all back. Could have something to do with that...or not.

There was also a period early on, when the board went down for a while and I didn't check back here for several months. When I finally got back on board, I had forgotten my password, so I logged on as a new member and used my real name instead of the origin alias. So my date is off by a bit anyway. Not that that has anything to do with the topic at hand, it just made me remember that. :? I'll shut up now.
