Naaaaa the counter just wishes you wernt around as much....... I can relate to that......
J/K......
Congrats on your cake day!!!.......
So, the website appears to be detecting "cake day" by the date, which makes sense. But the actual calculation for the length of time registered used by the cake is probably a calculation based on timestamps. You registered around ~8PM, so as far as that calculation is concerned you haven't been here 2 years until 8PM passes.
So, if it's this, it should be a 2-minute fix for Liam.
(Bear in mind, I don't have access to the code so, I could be totally wrong.)

So, now you should be able to tell us.

So, from:
https://gitlab.com/liamdawe/gamingonlinux/-/blob/master/public_html/includes/class_user.php?ref_type=heads#L583
We got:
// give them a cake icon if they have been here for x years
public function cake_day($reg_date, $username)
{
$date1 = new DateTime();
$date1->setTimestamp($reg_date);
$date2 = new DateTime();
$cake_icon = '';
if ($date1->format('d-m') === $date2->format('d-m'))
{
// calculate how many years
$total_years = $date1->diff($date2)->format('%y');
if ($total_years > 0)
{
$cake_icon = '<img src="/templates/default/images/cake.png" alt="'.$total_years.' years" class="tooltip-top" title="'.$username.' has been here for '.$total_years.' years" />';
}
}
return $cake_icon;
}
It's doing a difference comparison between $date2 (unformatted therefore, current timestamp) with $date1 which has been set to the users registration timestamp, so we're comparing timestamps.
Looking into it.
Thanks man.
A classic!
Aw, you took half my cake!
Yay, thanks Liam! Now I can be proud of that cake!
