    The time of the last post is 12-31-1969 07:00 PM. There are more user profiles like this, user 3 and 4. I think there are a lot more. Is this the effect of the millennium bug or something?

    I think this is a Unix system...I checked and it said 1/1/1970.

    On Unix, all dates and times start from 1/1/1970. So obviously, what has happened is that their last post date has been reset to 0, so the system date functions interpret that as 1970.
