    Maintenance is in progress; all servers are offline.

    We have been having random disconnects and problems with our internet connection on the server, so I have scheduled a technician to diagnose the problem. This requires the server to be taken offline. I do not know how long the server will be offline, as it depends on the result of the diagnosis. I will update this thread with more information when available.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    The servers will be back online shortly. Sadly, it appears our support ticket was not addressed at the scheduled time, so we will likely have to do this again.

    Yes, the servers are back at the moment; however, the crashing isn’t quite fixed yet which is why the server will likely have to go offline again some time

    EDT and EST are the same time zone, but some of us alternate the abbreviation depending on if daylight savings time is active or not. D for daylight savings and S for standard.

    EST and EDT do not refer to the same time structure. However, many places that use EST for part of the year do change their clocks for roughly half a year to EDT for their Daylight Savings time. This is why some make the distinction between "S" or "Standard" versus "D" or "Daylight" (at least for some continental American time zones). EST is UTC -5, while EDT is UTC -4. For reference, UTC is basically a fixed reference point for time distinctions.

    Okay, here is where things get even more confusing. Essentially, from what I found, Britain's equivalent to a standard time is called "GMT" or "Greenwich Mean Time", which basically follows the UTC reference point. However, they are currently observing "BST", which stands for "British Summer Time", and that time structure is the same as UTC +1.

    Goodness these zones are confusing and Daylight Savings doesn't help with that. Hopefully, I didn't mess this up, but this is information I was generally able to gather.

    This is why I usually post times in Arizona time and let you guys figure it out, lol. We never change our clocks in Arizona and it's awesome. (Yes I'm aware of the Navajo and Hopi, I'm talking more generally.)

    I miss when I didn't have to change time twice a year. :( Spent about 2/3 of my life without having it and things were just fine. :p

    And you can save yourself an 's' by using the more proper Daylight Saving time, because daylight is a singular word and you only need to "save" it once. ;)
