I was wondering what the general country of origin is for most people on this board, i only ask because i sometimes feel like i am talking too myself, it says something like last message posted 8:54 when it's about 3:30 in Wales, it could be i am just loosing hours as well as my hair and mind.
It would be good to know if only to judge the players of BG and whether they are playing it when they should be talking too me

Mmm, well, we have a topic called 'Who the hell are you', where many people have written where they are from ... perhaps you should check there.
As for the time, I can only assume the server, site and forum script are all located in America somewhere. Since the time in America differs from that in, say, Europe, it is logical that YOUR MESSAGES (whether you're from Wales or Holland) have a different time than the actual time on YOUR CLOCK.
I've learned to accept that fact - this is not my first non-Europian forum that I visit.

I just found it fairly amusing, the difference in time means when i get to work in the morning i get a flood (overstating maybe three at most) of mail from the BB server saying someone has answered your topic.

Hey that's cool ... although I personally usually turn those options off - just to prevent possible floods. I'll see it when I get to the website; that's usually shortly after I check my e-mail.

O is that the problem?? If you want, I can hook you up to numerous lists of spam mail - that should get you dozens of mails per day (and sadly, I have experience with that ... )
Or isn't that the kind you like to receive?
