IS my forum join date wrong?

I have a forum join date of dec 2011. I was in v1.0 beta and bought and played the v1.0 ce with early access the whole deal. I think I played for 3 months and left for awhile. Came back maybe around the dec 2011 time frame but I don't remember to be sure. That was a long time ago. Does it go off the last time you activated your sub for ffxiv? If not why did mine not say at least sept of 2010 or something like that? Does it matter anymore? I dunno. Just found it strange and wanted to ask somebody. I have my onion helm, asuran armguards, and my hermes sandals, so I know stuff has been carrying over good enough. I found when I registered my EA code all my collectors edition stuff for 2.0 will be attached. Anyone know what happened and keep me from guessing anymore lol, I would appreciate it.
