Why is the time out on this site. Is it the correct time for the USA? I am assuming I have joined a USA site... (I didn't know when I joined... Haha. Appologise if I say anything that may be termed offensive in the USA by accident but isn't offensive here in Britain... I had to laugh when a girl I dated for a little while (Mostly online or via telephone due to distance) got thrown of a USA Christian site because she said a certain word which is a word in the UK for a food product which is popular in Wales (I live in the south part of Wales, UK). She was... I only said... What? Wait... BANNED! I found it funny when she told me which didn't help. Fortunately she saw the funny side.

Yep this is a USA site but there's plenty of users from other places too including Britain. You don't have to worry about accidentally saying something offensive here. The mods care about intent.

Talking about time, I strongly believe that time varies. Think of it. If time speeds up or slows down we have no way to measure it as the only way to measure it would be to stand outside of time to get an accurate measurement. As trying to measure time from within time doesn't give a way of providing a solid base to measure from. Only sharing some thoughts...

It is unbelieveable how quickly time has gone. I assumed this to be my second week on the site but no... Wow.. It is about the forth week?

Maybe because you haven't changed the TimeZone in your settings.

My Account > Board Preferences > My Timezone

Change it to [UTC] Western European Time , Greenwich Mean Time

Click Yes on "Summer Time/DST is in effect" ( Change it to NO on 27th October )

I daren't alter the time or the PM messages I get will take several hours to get here. :P (I may alter it later).

I can't see the two youtube links in that form. They habe to be written links for me to see them. It is because youtube has an update and I can't update without agreeing to Googles terms first, and after spending about a month and a half examining all the legal aspects of Google I can't click "I agree" as one small aspect I don't agree with and it is quite a major aspect. I do use Google via another serch engine to get on sites like this, (On my tablet everything seems pre-programmed to use Google) but I won't agree to something that I don't agree with. I only use a few sites. Reading through pages and pages of legal jargon to join a site just takes ages!
