What’s the oldest account on these forums?
@system was created in Dec 19, '17, it is also the date of the first post in the first misc thread. There was a migration from another website to this one, so a bunch of users created their accounts at the same day.
Hhyyrylainen is a day older. Dec 18 '17.
No he isn’t? It shows it as Dec 19, '17 for me. If the website stores the hours and minutes, it might be a timezone thing.
Strange, for me it looks like this:
System also is shown to have joined on dec 18!
We can try to find out when did hh create the website. Everybody write their latitudes longitudes and whether they see hh’s day as 18 or 19.
Maybe let’s write just our timezones
Anyways I’m in CET, a.k.a. UTC+1
Edit: given it’s Summer, It’s CEST or UTC+2
Hhrylainen and system both show up as 18th for me, at UTC-05:00
Well, the sun goes from east to west, so the line of day switch would also go from east to west. Some time ago, hh opened his account, and that time was Dec 18th for some of us and 19th for others. It was close to 12 pm for hh, his timezone is UTC+2. We need someone close to that time to find out the details of when the site was created, assuming hh is the first account. This may not have resolution of more than an hour. Or we can wait for hh to wake up.
edit: Timezones change, Poland is UTC:+2 right now, Turkey and Finland are UTC:+3. I had a 1 hour difference with Nie. Hhyyrylainen opened his account in December 19th, between 12 pm and 1 am. It was still December 18th for people living further to the west. 18 hours later(Dec 19, '17 5:47 PM, UTC:+3), he posted this:
From this, we can learn that Hhyyrylainen goes to sleep after midnight and wakes up before 5 pm.
I should find a better way to spend time.
Well. I guess now someone will want to find the first post on the outdated forums.
Also 2000th post
Sorry to disappoint everyone but the system account is older. It was created at Dec 18, 2017 11:27 pm and my account was created a few minutes later at Dec 18, 2017 11:35 pm. That’s presumably how long it took me to go through the initial Discourse setup process and create the initial admin account for myself after which the site starts functioning. The exact time is this unix timestamp 1513632909354 which in my timezone is just before midnight.
I can’t exactly remember but I suspect that on that fateful day in December 2017 I was chatting with other developers who had just about come online for that day due to timezones and the topic of moving the community forums somewhere else came up, and I probably spontaneously went and installed a second discourse forum to test it out and see if people liked it. If I also remember right this was a bit after I had moved the development forums to run on a server I controlled and maintained instead of a disappeared team member only having access to the server hosting the forums. All this was quite a few months before we eventually did the forums move as the spam bots and other management problems hit again on the older forums. I think now these forums have been the ones to be longest in use for Thrive and as these are hosted by us we own / have rights to all the data so even if we moved to something else we wouldn’t need to lose any accounts or historical posts.

So System is Hhyyrylainen’s older brother
The system is everyone’s older brother.
Big Brother is watching you.
That implies we all descend from a common parent, if that’s the case then why didn’t they show themselves? Are they still out to buy the milk?
Isnt it just discourse? Or the game itself that brought us all together? idk its 2:30 in the morning im tired but cant sleep.
