For some reason, this seems to be a date that is seen all over the place with older websites. Well, at least this should be some indicator that the website hasn’t been touched in YEARS, and could probably use a review.

Malware gets installed, redirects put in place, viruses uploaded.. and most times, the website owner has no idea that it’s even happening. Until their customer informs them.. that’s embarassing!
