Basically when the server had its issues and the backups were brought over the timestamps didn't save or were corrupted. Since there is no timestamp or a corrupted timestamp then it goes to Default December 31 1969 The Dude 05-11-2009, 11:18 AM WebHostingTalk - "Serving the hosting industry community since '69"Yes indeed,they are the looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooongest running webhost out there :) MattS 05-11-2009, 02:24 PM lol :D That explains why this place has sooooooooo much traffic :D It was booming before the internet existed, so I guess WHT invented the Internet!
