***Official Forums Clock***

[Knightmare]

Ok, I have come to realize that we have a real problem concerning clock time, this is mainly due to Daylight Savings Time - which not all countries use and it throws off the timetables. For example, I am in the EST timezone (GMT -5), but because of Daylight Savings Time (where we turned our clocks ahead by 1 hour), I am currently only 4 hours behind GMT not 5.

To help solve this, please use the following link to determine what we will call "Forums Time" or "FT" - this is essentially the same as GMT. Whatever time this link tells you it is, that's what the official Forums Time will be:

www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx

Telling what time that means local to you should be relatively simple, just figure out the difference between what the link says and what your clock at home says. Then apply the same difference in time to posted FT and determine what time that means in your local area.

From here on out, please make all references to specific times in "Forums Time," not your local time.

Just to clean up this section of the forums, I am posting quotes from other posts in this category, then deleting the original posts:
