This is the first time anything similar happened in the two~ years I've been staff. The only remotely similar (though completely unrelated) problem I'm aware of was being able to propose and accept match dates into the past, which is no longer possible either.]]></description>

32 bit integers stop at 2147483647 (sometime in 2038). If you are storing a timestamp as an integer, or treating it as one at any point, your system will fail. There's no fix for that - database fields will roll over to -MAX_INT, integer data types will do likewise.

The fixes are to use different data types (long) which means you can go up to 64 bit integers, which gives a max time of 292278994-08-17 07:12:55 GMT.

I don't actually expect anything to break once this is reached, it's just a lot more likely to break things that Y2K.]]></description>

It's the Epoch of the unix timestamp. The field has probably been recorded as null due to an error, which is read to be 0 and converted from unix timestamp 0 to a date, 1970-01-01 00:00:00.

Bring on 2038, when it runs out, and any particularly legacy computing systems really *will* start failing (imagine Y2K but it actually happens)]]></description>
