How do I change forum created date?

I had someone else who wanted to change that date before. I tracked down the query that gets this date and found a way to change it. I can’t remember and can’t find any notes I may have made.

Am I the only one who does remember this? And I didn’t need AI?

Thank you, that looks a lot better than the About page we had before! Is it possible to see the number of overall/total topics and posts again? /EDIT: Just noticed: I see “Created 2 years ago”. Can this be adjusted? We started our forum in 2012, but migrated to Discourse 2 years ago. So this information is not accurate.

Here’s the query that gets the date: result = DB.query_single <<~SQL SELECT created_at FROM schema_migration_details ORDER BY created_at LIMIT 1 SQL If you’re self-hosted, there should be a way to update the earliest created_at item in that table with some other date. Writing the query is left as an exercise to the ready. Don't try this at home
