Gnomon - time to move on Started conversation Feb 3, 2011
As you know, in testing the new Barlesque h2g2, my joining date was changed to 19-Jan-2011. Can you now please change it back to what it should be?
01-Sep-2000
I think it should be enough to change the creation date of my user space.
Thanks!

Hi Gnomon. We should be able to do that no problem. Do you know of anyone else that was affected?

A bit of research shows that Solnushka's personal space was actually created on 20 June 2000.
ReddyFreddy's space seems to date only from 16 Novemeber 2010, which is odd because he's been around for a long time. Perhaps he has more than one account.
I can't figure out Auburn Time Lord's space creation date.

The earliest post of Auburn Time Lord that I could find was a submission to the AWW on 20th October 2010. I guess he'll have been around for a little longer.
And Reddyfreddy has two accounts. He created the new one because in barlesque the sign-in name is shown.

More research: Auburn Time Lord's space was created on 29 July 2010.

I knew he mentioned the date somewhere but couldn't remember where, and when it was.

I worked it out by finding out the A number of his personal space (it's listed as an Entry in his list of entries), then finding A numbers before and after it:
A72332255 created 29-July-2010
A72332318 Auburn Time Lord's space
A72332390 created 29-July-2010
