welcome nocturnal. While, as most, i can tell you that this forum is surprisingly a pleasant place to be in (noone will ever shout at you and go to the search). BUT i
can answer the inverse chronology question - we had been hit by a Time Distortion Burst. in our case we suffered little - all we got is an inverted forum.
seriously, it had always been so. SG staff like it that way and dont want to change it, and frankly i got used to it and find it kinda convenient
p.s BZZZZZZZZ
