The last thing we probably did on the old forums was to have an argument about which time zone to use. So, is EST the norm now, or will it be changed again later?

EST's here as long as the (physical) server remains in that timezone...

Er, I actually wasn't going to post anything, but if you insist...

Seriously, EST did win in the poll, so I'm certainly not alone in my opinion.

That's it, I put forward a motion for AEST! All with me say 'I'. *rofl*

Usually "Mein Kampf" quickly turns into "Mein Krampf".

Actually, when I first read the subject line, I thought this thread would be about THIS EST!

My mistake.

Forget the time zone, when did the forums switch to military time?

I find the 24 hour time on the forums rather nice.

I prefer the 24-hour format, actually...I have my watch set to it, in fact.
