Hi masi,

surely this was a quick change which removes the lower limit.
I checked it out with birthday of sr_feuser_register, and it's displayed 
correct and saved as negative timestamp, so there is no further check 
needed, only limitation was the eval script.
The date check is seperated with eval year, month and day so i only 
conentrated on eval year now.
