So, yeah. You know that a lot of us live in different timezones and it's often difficult to organise when you'll be online at the same time as someone else? Well, we won't have that problem much longer.
In the new skin, we're gonna have a special little thing to display a FoF standard time. I know, huh? It'll be awesome.
But I need your help. In preparation for the new skin, I want you guys to choose what timezone will be OURS.
So, what timezone do you guys want? The british one because your admin is british? Alaska because we're so freaking cool ;P? Hawaii because we're hot and groovy? Or somewhere completely obscure?
Once decided, it will not change!
Discuss!

Hm. Well, I'm leaving Alaska, so it wouldn't really be worth it. I say... uh. Wow, this is difficult. How about Mountain Standard Time? It's closeish to where a lot of the members live... um, I think.

The timezone doesn't have to relate to where people live ;P
Imagine FoF as this amazing boundary-less world that exists in a different universe to the physical one. We can have any timezone in the universe, why not choose an interesting one? ;P

Might I suggest Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (UTC -10) or Western Greenland Standard Time (UTC -2)? Both are from areas with small populations. Both are in the middle of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and unless we pick up people from the tip of Brazil, the South Georgina and Sandwich Islands, the small island of Fernando de Noronha, the middle of Greenland, French Polynesia or Hawaii, we don't have much chance of ever getting someone with the same time zone.
And yes, I know Hawaii has a pretty big population. But I'm comparing their population more to where we have most of our members, which is the US (313,655,000 > 1,374,810).
EDIT: AND LOL. i forgot that Hawaii is part of the US (derp I'm a stupid Canadian). I'll rephrase my last statement: I know that Hawaii has a pretty big population, but I'm comparing it to mainland US, where most of our members are. |D
