There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Daylight Savings
- Thread starter LeftCoast
- Start date
Is it just me that takes about 4 days to get used to the loss of an hour?
Taking a page from Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham (with apologies to Dr. Seuss)
“I do not like this time change Sam I Am! I do not like it and will avoid it if I can”!
Happy Daylight Savings everyone but Az and Hawaii (and a couple of others)!
Outdated, outmoded anachronism from the past.

"Those who forget the past; are doomed to repeat it."
So what that it is rooted in our (largely) agricultural past...:dontknow:
Spring and Fall were always when our farming forefathers were working the hardest...
I can appreciate how it may have helped them. :thumbup:
But since so many folks seem to want to dismiss it outright: I have a compromise!
Back the clocks up a half-hour, and call it even!

Been there and done that.
What time the clock says it is has pretty much NOTHING to do with it.
Farmers live by the SUN, not by the clock.
The change was initially made to allow urban dwellers more time to "play in the sun" after they get off of work.

16 hour days pretty much have you leaving the house, and returning to it: in the dark. nojoke
The concept of time was only useful, in that they needed to set their alarms clocks to go off at some point.

WE CAN BLAME IT ON THE CANADIANS!!!
But a Kiwi scientist was one of the earliest proponents. https://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/history.html
In the US DST was originally enacted as a way to save energy by cutting back on the number of hours of artificial lighting during WW1. In WW2 it was enacted year round. http://time.com/3695333/daylight-saving-time-wwii/.
DST has been a contentious issue all over the world from the very beginning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time. Energy savings today by using DST are insignificant!
For once our disagreements here are just plain normal! :roflblack:
