A piece of cake popped up next to my username. April 7, 1999 was the date of my registration on the Dope. It’s nice to be remembered, even if only by a software program everyone loves to complain about.

Weird. I don’t see a piece of cake. Which I usually do.
Did you eat it already?
ETA: According to your card, you joined on Apr 6, 1999.

Discourse waits a day so they can get the cake at half price.

I just looked at your profile and it says Apr 6 there, too. What time zone are you in? I’ve made a note to look at your profile tomorrow and see if it shows up.
