That was my first reaction too. In days past, that would have been a poll option. *laments how things have changed in his absence*

I mean most often. I'm guessing for most people it's around 6:00 PM wherever they are, that's when school and work are usually finished. But I don't know when 6:00 PM is for most of the posters of this forum.

i'm largely unemployed so i really am on at all hours, except perhaps between 4 am and 10am, that's sleep time.

Myrth is gone. The sooner that can be admitted, the sooner the unspeakable evil and horror that has haunted us these past two years can end.

Myrth is not a horror, Myrth is an institution.

I remember the days of darkness before the Light That Was Myrth came to save us from ourselves - but now, as time passes, his legacy is corrupted.

I come on around 5:45 AM, around this time (4:30 PM), and probably at 8:00 PM my time, but I'm not sure what that is in GMT and I'm not sure that I have time to check, since the tow truck is coming soon.

GMT time is at the bottom of the screen on all the forum pages. There's something that says, "All times are GMT. The time now is [time]".

And yes, I know who Myrth is. Before I was New Limacon, I was Naturalog, who was here toward the end of Myrth's career. Myrth was an inspiration to us all. But we can't live in the past, or we'll end up like the man in Psycho, who was convinced his mother was still alive and kept killing women in the shower.

Bottom of my page:

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 4:41 PM.

Hmm, that's odd. I guess just add four to the hour, then.

So, lemme get this straight - shower-based murder is wrong now? :confused:

Time is an illusion; the only reality is "now."

Yeah, but I don't want to read every single time stamp. It's bad enough reading the posts.:)

Safalra, a pleasant surprise to see you posting again. A returning (if only passing) post on the England forum would be greatly appreciated by all :)

Oh, the OP. 'It' is a two-lettered word denoting an object of unknown or neutral gender, or a generalised concept.

On a tangent arising from Tink, its just struck me that you've been here a bloody long time....:eek:

As for myself; I post concurrent, as far as I can judge, to the rest of the UK posters. Generally after midnight when any responsible person would consider sleeping...

Apparently my time zone is GMT - 4 during daylight savings time. I am wondering if I calculated it right, but since I am usually on after work (between 3 pm and 11 pm) I think I choose the first poll option.

My time thing at the bottom of the screen says "all times are GMT-4" since that's what I set my profile to display in.

In any case, I'm usually on when the UK people are (despite being in the USA), since that's when I'm awake most often. Even now it's only something like 1:20AM GMT and I think it's pretty early...

Well with GMT time lets see. 8PM-12AM+5hrs=1AM-5AM. Although it varies. Anywhere between Noon and 10pm Eastern Time. I chose the first poll option but it's the last for more time zone. Well really the last three. As I said it varies. On the humorous side: either Hammer Time or PEanut Butter Jelly Time. Probably Hammer Time.

In GMT time, I'm on from about 12:00 am to 9:00 am.

Ha, I can't win - called a n00b by the ancients and an old fart by the newcomers...

Also, I post between 8pm and 2am because there's bugger all else to do i my neck of the woods at the moment. Cannae wait for uni to start again, just so I've got something to do!

GMT time is at the bottom of the screen. I know it's not the time you actually use, but it's consistent and convenient.
