If I’m correct

Big if

Bitcoin was created using extended profile mod as blocks as extended profile fields

Blocks 1 through 20 being the first blocks or extended profile fields.

This means that the core code includes the expiration date so even if this forum moved to a different format or upgraded as you suggest ... it doesn’t matter ... the halving bring to count down to the expectation date changing from seconds to half seconds and so on.

Your password to the forum will expire and it will no longer work.  Creating a new password IS NOT AN OPTION.

I have high hopes that until that date we'll manage to migrate to new forum software.  Wink
So you are worrying too much (for a non-problem).

It was more of a statement than a question.  
 
I'm who put date there.


In profile.pl

Code:

if ($username eq $user) {
my $pword      = ${$uid.$user}{'password'};
my $expiration = "Sunday, 17-Jan-2038 00:00:00 GMT";
&UpdateCookie("write", $user, $pword, ${$uid.$user}{'session'}, "/", $expiration);
&LoadUser($user);
}

May be but theymos should know it for a long time and if needed, theymos would fix it already. It is there for a while now as I can see a lot of thread from long ago with a google search. Theymos once replied here- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.19024915

The cause of the cookie error may be the hard line expiration date of

"17, January, 2038"

in your profile.pl of the forum.
