That never stopped anymore.

they all went by the time of the forum itself irreguardless of the actual time whare they themselvs were. "]-

Yeah, but now that everyone can set their time zone offsets, noone here even knows what the real time of the bboard is.

Out of curiosity... where IS forums.beyondunreal.com?

That was a planetquake thing.

Um, if I post at 12:01 am, it's 1:01 am to anyone in the maritimes.

If they posted at 11am my time, they're too early. But they think they were first.

Doesn't work.

If you want to compete for 'First Thread' you could only do it with people in your own time zone.

I should hope you'd have a hard time finding people who'd want to compete in such a competition.

what you really need to do if you want competition is try to be the LAST poster of the day...

woohoo youre having a Rush moment, that was your 2112 post

*Morety* · 9th Nov 2001, 01:25 PM
