So, I have a lot of research skills, and out of boredom, I decided to use them on our own site. Just out of curiosity.
Something strange turned up.
. . . it makes me think I am either going crazy, or, I have no idea. I think it will call for some programming and computer experts to answer the questions, about the forum software and data, because what I came up with? Was really weird. Either that, or it was truly evidence of the Mandela Effect.
According to my profile, I joined back in 2012. Now, I am rather certain, we have had at least two different forum software upgrades since I have been here. In the old days, I remember the very first version I participated with here, where, when ever someone gave you a "thumbs-up," it was the culture to send a private message thanking them for that positive message, because it added to your street cred.
I wanted to view a screen shot of the forum back in history, in the Wayback archives, so. . . I went to Nov. of 2012, to take a look (since I joined in Sept.) AND? This is what I found. . . .
Yes. . . Puzzling, as you can see, it looks like the same forum software, which I know can't actually be the truth, because it was different when I was here. . .
SO? Is it just displaying data today on my system through the current software. . . but. . oh, I don't know, I just don't get it. If you go back FAR enough, things do look different.
From 2003;
And 2005, things make sense. . .
It is a mystery to me.
