problem: your forums are too functional

More like Celsius. Kelvin is stupid outside of a scientific context.

You like my sense of humor cuz your control panel has it and mine doesnt, or you simply like the way I internetz?

more like INZ STYLEZ

The chances of a complete crash are pretty slim :stuck_out_tongue: The current server has a RAID 1 HD config and we do weekly backups to a secondary server. At the most we’d lose a week or less of posts.

That’s what you said last time. :stuck_out_tongue:

Uh, yeah, about that cat?

It was actually teleported back in time, through a dimensional barrier, and into the server room hosting BMS’s forums.

I see why barney had nightmares, he must’ve seen the terrible cable management through the dimensional portal.

oh man, oh god:fffuuu:

Better yet, the civilized world could adopt the only format that makes any real sense: yyyy/mm/dd :stuck_out_tongue:

I got sick and tired of the battle between mm/dd/yyyy and dd/mm/yyyy a long time ago. While admittedly dd/mm/yyyy makes more sense from a left-brained mathematical context, and while mm/dd/yyyy makes more sense from a right-brained language-based context (at least in American English) neither of them is as effective as yyyy/mm/dd would be, IMHO. For one thing, I think it would be easier to distinguish where the months and days go, simply by looking at it, because of the decreasing unit sizes… it’s not as easily confused as the other two formats. For another thing, it’s great for timestamping stuff, e.g. yyyyMMddhhmmss. :3

… i like some colour in my words… :frowning:

and ‘way of speaking’
granted the likes of 9/11 only make sense in an American context…
but generally when asked for the date people say “25th of month” … well it flows easier for my NON-American english…:pirate:

yyyy/mm/dd/hh/mm/ss is good if you spend all your time watching clocks :3

dd/mm/yyyy makes the most sense because of the following reason:

The day changes the most, so that’s usually the first information you’ll be looking for. The months stays the same for up to 31 days, so it gets second place. The year stays the same for a lot longer, so it gets put in the back.

I.e. changed most -> more in front.

hey Burbinator… what month is it again? :3

@ Hammich Yeah, as an American, I’ve rarely heard it said that way, myself. People around here say “Month 25th,” etc. Or at least people that are around me say it that way, I can’t really speak for the rest of the country, considering the fact that I’ve only lived on the west coast, and more recently, in the midwest… although technically it is the standard way to write dates… er, except in the military, I believe… the whole system is annoyingly convoluted. :smiley:

But yeah, I personally found a liking for yyyyMMddhhmmss a while back while trying to organize a few thousand photos that I had taken over the past few years. I eventually decided timestamping using the EXIF data would be the best option, and the yyyyMMddhhmmss format worked great for that purpose. :3

@ Burbinator The problem with that, is that nothing else follows this convention, (at least not that I can think of, at the moment) only dates! Not even the decimal counting system works that way: It’s the rightmost digit that gets changed the most often. So I figure, why should dates be any different? Larger, less-frequently-changing units should be to the far left. Just IMHO. :retard: It doesn’t take that much extra effort to look at the far right of a numerical string, as opposed to the far left, when you’re looking for the more-frequently-changing data. :stuck_out_tongue:

^ but usually a person reads from left-to-right in ANY english-speaking country :stuck_out_tongue:

your screen name is making me hungry you cornholing sunavabidge.

maybe I should put a burger in my sig to drive you into an unstoppable frenzy of consumption till you bloat and die from either a burst gut, stroke or diabetes. Whichever comes first. :3

our forums: functional, yet full of assholes

you should see the bungie.net forums…


So that is the data centre behind this site :slight_smile:
