Show our 'Imagined' date on our profile

Original topic, closed due to no comments: http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/9119/

I have no clue what day I made my account according to the in game calendar.  It would be nice if we could view that on our profile, or if our friends imagined dates showed up on our calendars.

Then we need to be able to make birthday cakes.

  • I actually think that would be kind of a fun idea. Then we could have 'imaginationdays' to celebrate or something.

  • I had to manually compute my Imaginationday by checking the time and date of the 100 credit gift given to new players listed in the Credits section of my Account History. I used the apps in this thread. So Mal'akh was imagined on 9:00 pm, Standay 25th of Primuary, Year 18.

    It would be nice to have that date included in our profile automatically.

  • This Glitch API app will do the conversion for you.  

    All you need is the date and time from your Credits section of your account, as Mal'akh described, at the bottom of this page.

  • My Glitch invitation email was dated [Sunday, November 21, 2010 10:07:38 AM]. I knew I created my avatar on that date. The first date on the Credits section of my account page is February 14, 2011 10:34 PST (A special gift for alpha testers).  

    If I would follow what is given in the email invite, my imagination day would be 6:00 am, Standday 12th of Septa, Year 11

  • Just to be clear:

    The free credits show up the first time you buy subscriber clothes from the wardrobe. 

    For some of us that is the first day we created our Glitch.  For others, digging through old emails may give a more accurate start date.

  • @Windborn
    For those who joined from The Launch onwards, the free credits were given at the same time. No need to buy anything.

  • not that people and their friends shouldn't know their glitchy birthday, but the idea of advertising how long one has been on glitch relative to other players strikes me as something that would foster generational schisms. ie. "all these new players have no understanding of the glitchy spirit!" or "all those old players are so uptight and think they own the joint!" are bad enough attitudes, and the ability to ID account age on sight just exacerbates that problem.

  • Well, just the day of the Glitch calendar should offset that striatic - have you been here 60 or 600 days?

    And if someone is really anxious to know how long you have been here, there are other ways - for example you got your papers on Wednesday, 21 September, but I also know you were beta because you have those beta badges.
