12:49 AM on July 4th Atlantic Daylight Time my time is reading 8:49 AM which means the site is now set to EEDT (Eastern European Daylight Time).
Did Hex move from Florida to Tel Aviv and not tell us?:smiley5: Either that or he took up a career as a Somali pirate hijacking container ships.:smiley36:
Can some one freakin' FIX THIS PLEASE?
+1 this time thing is pretty annoying... and I've noticed that I don't get automatic emails anymore notifying me that a thread I'm subscribed to has been posted in.
And the PMs from badwhale are getting kinda gross... is that related to the time problem?
Bump. Time keeps on ticking...
ticking...
ticking...
Buzz missed an opportunity for a triple post? And yes, it is quite discombobulating.Quote:

We lost power due to a crazy storm today. My clocks are all screwed up.
Just thought about this...I hope it's not really 5 something in the AM.
Right now, in Arizona, it is 8:15 am.
I sent Hex an e-mail a week or so back - he has not responded...
...and we're not getting any new registrations. This is not good.
What needs to be done? Can't we assume ownership (with a fee) if the domain name goes unpaid, or does not get renewed? I'll chip in for that. Hopefully Hex will do what he's got to do, but if not we should have a backup plan.Quote:

It's me again, from the future.
Sell the Google stock.
You're welcome.
What do you mean by " this is not good"? Do you mean something isn't paid for and the forum will be shut down, or that it simply isn't a good sign nobody is joining?Quote:

Facebook is a social media site that you and I don't use, but others have had success in the past contacting Miguel.Quote:

Try pinterest maybe? That's the app where you leave a 30-second voicemail that is deleted immediately after the receiver listens to it.
Ok, so nobody has tried to contact him via Facebook. Got it.
I would use Snapchat, if I was angry (my understanding is Snapchat is used to snap on people you're pissed off).
We could try using Twitter. That's the low-cost alternative to the USPS where GPS-enabled bluetooth homing pigeons deliver messages (but only in the US, sorry Canucks).
I'm embracing technology... What did they do back in the day?!?Quote:

Actually Facebook is not bad. I have a fucking blast trolling our local news pages . You would be surprised at how unbelievably fucking stupid and racist some of our fellow man is. I also interact with a lot of friends from HP since my lifetime ban LOLOLOL
You can get ban from FaceSpace too ya know.:smiley2::smiley36:Quote:

I just sent Miguel another note... :indecisiveness:Quote:

There used to be an email on his site for ordering cigars. He always responded to an email from there in the past. I just do not see it?
UPDATE:
Hex did respond and it appears the site clock has been synced with the server clock - so we're good there. Apparently there may still be something wrong with sending out a registration code for new registrants to validate their e-mail address. Hoping that has been corrected as well.
Sweet, thanks George! Now we just need the email notifications to work again. :smiley37:
