@manton Found out yesterday that means at least two things: 1) flyingmeat stayed registered by continuous upkeep and 2) flyingmeat picked a worthy registrar allowing them to stay all those years (twocows in this case). Regardless of 1) if you change registrars, the creation date resets. Unless an even more worthy registrar preserves that date when you move to them.
Looks like a good time to pick up a copy of Acorn!
