So that people from different countries could set their own timezone and see battle or entry or forumpost submit time/date correctly to their own timezone

E.g if I upload my entry at 16:00 PM and in the page it says 6:00 AM because America is ten hours late


E: Most of site's userbase are Americans so idk if this is useful or not, but most forum websites have it

what the fuck is 16:00 PM

Europe is 10hrs ahead of America we could have warned you about 9/11!!!!!

I personally am 2 hours off from the server's time zone over there against the Pacific ocean. There's two solutions I can see. One is doing what you suggest: adding a timezone selection and then adjusting timedate displays. This could be done on posts and entries and numerous other things, but not absolutely everything (logs are static text).

But I've always like the idea that BotB ignores the time of the real world. That's why the battle periods use countdown timers instead of timedates. I think it would be more in the spirit of this if the timedates used "23 minutes ago" or "3 days ago" until they are a week old (or some other arbitrary amount of time). This is already in use in some places like the Recent Battles box on the right.

I say go full balls to the wall and invent a new time format. Fuck base 60. Glory to base n00b.

We should use base 5040, because you can divide it by a lot of things

.

I like the concept of BotB time, but there's the problem that nobody knows what time it is right now. Putting a little clock at the top of the page or something might help.

as someone who lives in pacific time (botb time), it sux move to mountain time instead!!!!!!!!!!!!

also i'm not a fan of the 23 mins ago or a week ago thing, i kind of like seeing the exact times lol
