    Default Democratic rights.... No way!

    Someone must think this poll is going to change things.

    What gave you the idea this was a democracy. Nowhere does it say that. This is more your benevolent dictatorship, and the dictator likes the times as they are. So nah

    The times will stay as they are, mostly because there are many times when we need to get correct times and dates to keep the admin side straight, especially now with so many posts being made. I am spending around 3 - 4 hrs a day working in the background on the forums keeping them straight whilst the combined time the mods spend here keeping it nice for everyone is way much more than that.

    For the information of all. The full blown time & date stamp has been used for most of the 7.5 years the forums have been on the net The elapsed time was only in use for about 10 mth off and on over a period of around 18 mth as a trial and although it may have seemed easier to figure out, in truth it was a bloody nuisance for admin purposes.

    These things usually only get noticed when there is an update or something drastic happens like the major meltdown of a couple of weeks ago.

    Cheers - Neil
    Benevolent Dictator......... and the mug who has to try and figure out the dates and times when stuff happens, like when idiots shoot of their big mouths and we have to fend off law suits, etc. etc. etc.
