That he’s taking every recorded game available in the (thousands of years) history of Go and using them for ranking; It’s a joke on the phrase “the beginning of time” when he meant “the start of OGS”, don’t take the comment too seriously.

At the present time, the Onlinium Goservorum has become a complex and highly unstable piece of machinery, albeit one whose very presence is essential to the survival of gomanity against the horrors of outer servers - or worse, some (highly heretical) accounts of the fringe of the golaxy mentioning the existence of unimaginable xeno-games involving different pieces or more than two players.
The server can only be powered by the psychic force of 10,000 specially-purposed 30kyu, whose spirits are routinely crushed under the necessary 100 defeats and whose ranks must be regularly replenished with fresh recruits coming from all go-controlled planets of the golaxy. Only a chosen few will rise through the ranks to become a sanctioned Regular. This is the price to pay, for the OGS beacon must never fade…
