| Post subject: | Question about time zones on the site |
This may sound like a stupid question....but what does GMT stand for? I seriously dont know. I'm just trying to get my time zones right...i always thought that metal reviews originated from America, but now i think it could be from europe? I just think it would help if i knew what GMT stood for....

Shit, where is Chris from? Not Switzerland. Denmark now, I think. |

Hey Eyesore Can you help me? When they say they will lock the voting threads on saturday, what time will that be? As soon as it hits Saturday (12:00...in 2 hours and 17 minutes....going by Swiss time), or at the end of Saturday (12:00 am Sunday)? I need more time to finalise my votes, damn it

Send Adam a PM. I think it'll be some sort of US time, no doubt. It won't be 12am here for another 8 hours and I doubt Adam will be locking them at midnight on Friday night. It'll likely be some time tomorrow afternoon, I'd assume. |

Haha! I wish I could still sleep till noon! Maybe I should get drunk more often, but a pregnant wife makes that difficult, as you might imagine. Oh, and the voting threads are locked. |

... Yes, GMT does stand for Greenwich Mean Time, however it has nothing to do with Switzerland. Greenwich is a town in England. The reason for GMT being the 'center' of time so to speak, goes back to colonial times. For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMT .:crast:. |

That's the town that the Prime Meridian goes right through. See, you do learn stuff in American Public Schools!
