    Server time

    At the third stroke it will be 04:26:00 BST exactly.

    pip pip pip


    So that is now five minutes fast. When the new forum was launched I am sure that it was only three minutes fast.

    Maybe I am being a bit too anal but I do think such discrepancies cast doubt on the integrity of the entire infrastructure.

    In addition, how on earth is Alexei going to get the last post of the year?

    Yep, I'd noticed that it's now five minutes out. For various reasons to do with vBulletin changing the underlying requirements for the forum software, admin had to shift everything across to a different server. Perhaps the NTP daemon isn't running on this one.

    OTOH, I believe the forums now have more of a server to themselves than they had before

      I think they should look at the NTP, but with a twist: have it a little random around the correct time.

      It'll drive AtW wild.

        Oi Threaded, nip into the future and ensure that AtW doesn't die in a horrific Squirrel attack...
