Old forum memorabilia topic....

Isn't it a shame our statistics couldn't get passed over?

I was really enjoying my lead in the number of posts I've made, plus the 2000'th post I did before (or whichever it was). :cry:

Then again I will look foreward to my missed 1000th post! :wink:

::EDIT::
Suddenly feels so dirty for using the EDIT button, :oops: !
Alex, isn't the clock just a little slow?
8pm? I am at 9pm - or am I fast?
My whole WORLD'S upside down now!
AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH....

Alex
The clock is indeed a little bit behind on this server - but that was a still a problem with the old forum. I did email the webhosts about it but it doesn't look like anything has been done.

A slight shame about the statistics perhaps, but you could only see them anyway by going to individual profiles. Now you can see them beside each post - a great incentive for you to post more I think! :D

i set the clock to GMT -5 hours because i am in chgo. its working for me.

paul_one
Yeah, it's hardly been in sync since it was started.
I've just put my time forward - let's see what happens.

CheerleaderChick
did it work?


:?: :?:

CheerleaderChick
somethings wrong with my posting. the shoe pic is gone now. :cry: do we have a computer guy to help fix it?

paul_one
It's there to the left! Can you not see it?
[and yes, the time is showing up correctly now]

CheerleaderChick
yes now i've got the shuz pic on the left but not the other pix that was below under what i typed. that must be the signature pic. i;ll try to fix that now too.

my time looks ok now too. GMT is one of the mountain times. im in CST for chicago standard time.

thanx!!!!

GMT is Greenwich Mean Time and has nothing to do with America. It's actually fairly complicated, but if you want to be lazy you could say it's used in the UK. However, a full description can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMT

paul_one
Isn't it just to do with the fact the UK rules?
... That and it's where sailors used to set as a timing start point, the world's virtical line across the planet - crossing directly through greenwich?

*clicks link*

Yeah, sailors using greenwich considering it 'zero degrees'...

CheerleaderChick
u prolly cheated and looked 1st! hahahahahah


just joking ya tr0n.

Cryophile
That's very true, but the exact meaning has evolved since then and it's no longer a simple term although it's usually used simplistically (It sounds like it makes little sense, but it really does.)
