Is the new board going to continue the old practice of artificially bumping up post times making it appear that the board is more active than it is? Frequently I find posts I read 12 hours ago, appearing as though they were posted a couple hours ago. Does this happen, or am I not understanding the time zone or something?
IF it is happening, I think most of us are smart enough to know the difference, so whats the point in being deceptive. In the long run it will only hurt the credibility of the board.

Right now as I write this post, it is 6:58am pacific time
it should read around 3pm. the time zone thing needs to be 'zoned in'

Well keep your eyes open, I see it all the time. Chilling doesn't make me stupid.

Hey guys. The only time a post is "artificially" bumped up is when someone votes on a poll in that particular thread. That may have been what you noticed, rama.
