those are unix time stamps, if I remember correctly they're the number of (minutes or seconds...I forget), that have passes since Jan 1, 1980.

Not bad, Osskyd :-) It's the seconds since the stroke of midnight the 1st of January 1970 ...

If you want to "decode" it, there is a function in every programming language (something like "localtime") which will convert the timestamp into a m/d/y hh:mm:ss.

MMORPGs are about immerson, not conquest. FPSs are about conquest, not immersion.
Powergamers want a FPS, but want an audience to admire them while they do it. That is why they flock to MMORPGs. l00k 4tz me, im d4 l33tz dud3z.

I knew there had to be an online converter somewhere, it just took some googling to find it:

If I remember correctly, this is GMT (Greenwich time, no adjustment for daylight savings), so you'll have to do some hour shifting depending on your time zone and observation of daylight savings time.

Just a bit too late, plus EttaBrummi's link is better because you can automatically adjust time zone.
