HOW TO READ ARCHIVES (Year-Bug Offset)
Posted: Thu May 09, 2019 7:49 am
If you have an archive of message boards that date back before AR100, you probably have (by now) noticed that the dates for the years are all mussed up.
Using some archives I've assessed this translation guide:
Messages posted AR 101 to Present... years are accurate.
If the date is Dates from AR100 show up as AR147 (best guess) I have so far -not- found any 148 or 149 years that appear to be actually from 100 or 99 or 98...
So Best Guess, with a large amount of searching to verify... I am 98% certain that the Offset for the year-bug is +47 for anything originally written AR 100...
so when looking at archives, where the dates seem strangely recent, even though you recall them happening much much earlier... if they were pre AR101, you will need to subtract 47 years from the Authored Year to get the more accurate Year of Authorship.

If anyone has an example of their own archives with a note authored in what they are CERTAIN took place in AR 100, that has a date OTHER than 147 (namely, 148 or 149, or 150, Please take a screenshot. As best as I can confirm... AR100 = AR147 for the year-bug Offset.
