AI Thread Summary
A member recently received a trophy for seven years of membership but questioned the accuracy of their joining date or the trophy's timing, suggesting it might have been awarded prematurely. The discussion humorously shifted to the complexities of date calculations, with members joking about creating a time machine to simplify the calendar. There was also a mention of updating the trophy to ten years, but it was clarified that the awards are not retroactive. The conversation included light-hearted banter about the possibility of redeeming trophies for rewards like gift cards. Overall, the thread reflects a playful take on membership milestones and the quirks of tracking time.

A minor one.

I've just got a trophy for being a member for seven years. I've no intention of getting banned before October 20th but it seems like either my joining date is wrong or the trophy's being awarded about eight weeks early.

Heh - I hate date arithmetic. Some colleagues and I have agreed to invent a time machine and go back in time and get the calendar constructed in a simple way.

It was off. It also gave me a chance to update it to 10 years :)
