WHAT SURVIVES
The recovered ZIP contains a single "🥳｜ul-birthdays" Discord export with 155 messages, beginning September 1, 2020 and reaching December 30, 2024. The ZIP passes "testzip()" cleanly. The channel includes the opening announcement, later birthday submissions, pinned calendar maintenance, and the 2023 month-by-month rebuild.
WHY THE FULL ROSTER STAYS BACKSTAGE
A raw calendar is personal-data-heavy and historically messy: aliases change, deleted accounts appear, some participants were minors, and individual submissions can be corrected. For public history, the stronger and safer claim is the behavior around the calendar—voluntary disclosure, shared recognition, and maintenance across years.
PROVENANCE NOTE
The archive proves what members self-reported or what the maintained channel list said at those dates. It is not a civil-record verification system. Self-reported birthdays should remain self-reported archive facts, not transformed into externally certified biographical data.
