I looked at the "Solitaire" leaderboard the other day and saw three records with Date "Never" in version 95/98/NT4 as below. I asked about this on Reddit but didn't get much results.
So I still wondering what "Never" in Date means and how could it possible.
it just means the run doesnt have a date set.
the "never" is very poorly named though.
I saw you post this on Reddit too. But someone did respond with the answer. https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/1lhn16z/comment/mz58wwy/
The "never" appears when the run doesn't have a date, or if the date is set to 0. As dates on the site are recorded in unix time. A run with a date of 0 can be created using API v2, and a few really old runs don't have dates either.
The reason it says the word "never" is that in the site's code, if there's an empty value then it displays "never" by default. I'm not sure if this is their own code or from a library. It seems like they use Luxon for dates on here.
