yep, mine is 1 hour ahead. I rarely pay attention to the time.

and how does the forums handle countries and U.S. states (and areas of U.S. states) that do not have daylight saving time? I guess they have to manually adjust it to the "wrong" time zone.

Most sites that handle this well, do it by having a seperate time zone for such things, and the site does the work figuring out when DST should or should not be in various time zones, having a seperate correct time for each time zone (as needed) rather than all calcs based on GMT.

Is this why LoA has managed to post at 3:01 even though it is still only 2:40 according to my forum time?

Last Sunday was daylight savings time in California. Luckily my computer automatically resets the time.

Not surprisingly it has many of the same spammers posters as this one does

I knew it!

And wow, Skanky sure has a lot of posts in that thread.

It doesn't seem like a year since I made that remark about the earth's rotation slowing.

I spend entirely too much time here. . I'm saying the same thing year after year.

[DrSpike]

I think you said that last year too.

Are we all becoming that predictable?

Perhaps we don't need to post any more. At any given time, we can just have a bot repost what we posted on the same date a year ago

I sure did. I also see you are attempting to win that honour this year.

cool idea for a feature: "this day 1/2/3 years ago you were posting about...."

[DrSpike]

How would it work?

[Nikolai]

That's a really cool idea, Markos!

But I sence that the deities will get us and the forum software problems...
