@Hawkee @Jethro & Jonesy: as far as I am aware, the reason some profiles display with a registration date of 1969, is that the user registered before the profile system was in place. At least that's what I'm assuming any way.
@Hawkee I think better moderation of the snippet section is definitely needed, it is a joke now, the scripts, the comments. It's really off-putting to see some of the content that is posted.
