    [​IMG] I'm in the US, and I just noticed that the times on this board are way different, meaning that right now, wherever this board is, its very early in the AM. So, whereis it centered?

    The server the whole Sorcerer's Place and Boards O' Magick are running from is in California...

    However, the time here and on the front page when news is posted is shown in my local time, which is central european time.

    Obviously, because Denmark is in the same time zone as I am. Maybe you're just out of phase. :p

    We are from the land of little foot. We are from another demension. A time when we were believed in. A time when we flourished and there was good food to eat and fine wine to drink. A time when swords were at least the size of the swords we have now. A time when we didn't have atomic bombs but fireballs. A time when there were no areoplanes but dragons. A time where the common folk were thick and stupid. A time when I! yes I ruled the known universe! Yes! I was once a ruler! But i suffered a great defeat ad my kingdom now runs alon in my mind...and also a book that talks to you and makes you scream and shout shouting out "Heehee i'm in this book! Whoopie! NO NO!! Bastionardi is dying! NOOO!"

    That my friend is where we came from.

    [​IMG] I am now noticing that on the bg2 boards, the latest post has been made at 22.11. Problem is, the clock is only 22.04, atleast on every watch in m home and on the television.

    Who is confused now, HA! :p

    You still, because for some perverse reason server admins always set the clock 10-15 minutes ahead. Hope that clears it up for you. ;)

    I have no idea where exactly Amon-Ra. I know the server is in California but that's also all I know about it. I haven't seen it myself either. (Not that I'd jump on a plane and cross 5000km to see another computer box :D )
