Time Zones

[Mahek_The_Assassin_Silent_Killer]

Was curious as to how different the time zones are for everyone in this community, I know Ant's Swedish (he mentioned it in his Fandom profile page), I'm Singaporean/Indian (I live mostly in Singapore but every end of year I go back to India to visit extended family), but not sure about everyone else.
Would you all be ok with sharing what timezones you live in in this thread? (That way, I can probably figure out when most of the community is active)

 

[Mahek_The_Assassin_Silent_Killer]

I'll go first.
Mine's GMT+8
Ant should be GMT+1, GMT+2 during DST.

 

[Mahek_The_Assassin_Silent_Killer]

Bump.

 

[H3110l12345I20]

Mine is PDT time.

 

[Dalesean027]

CST

 

[Mahek_The_Assassin_Silent_Killer]

CST

so UTC/GMT-6
Belize
Canada: Saskatchewan (most)
Costa Rica
Ecuador: Galápagos
El Salvador
Guatemala
Honduras
Mexico (most)
Nicaragua

So most likely Central/South American or Canadian

Mine is PDT time.

UTC/GMT-7
Canada: Alberta, British Columbia (southeast), Northwest Territories, Nunavut (west), Saskatchewan (Lloydminster and surrounding area)
Mexico: Chihuahua (northwest border)
United States: Arizona (Navajo Nation), Colorado, Idaho (most), Kansas (west), Montana, Nebraska (west), New Mexico, Nevada (northeast border), North Dakota (southwest), Oregon (east), South Dakota (west), Texas (west), Utah, Wyoming

Anywhere from Central to North America :|

Your time zone

Since when some users are available, but users from the other side of the Earth at this time are asleep, I decided to create a thread where everyone can specify their UTC. This can be useful: we will know time to contact each other. UTC-11: UTC-10: UTC-9: UTC-8: Jeremihe...

Of possible interest.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

If your intended goal is to discuss when the community is active... that's a hard thing to decide. The main country users are from is invariably the United States of America, followed by Brazil, the Philippines, Russia, UK, Canada, Turkey... we're active around the world. If you want to standardize, I would say mostly American (South and North) and European, but that probably only accounts for just over half of the userbase, maybe two-thirds.

Thanks, at least this gives a good idea of where the community is mostly concentrated (though it does now make me wonder whether when it comes to English if we follow UK English (which is technically the original English) or American English (which is probably what most of the community uses if the main base is in USA), albeit there's not much of a difference since mostly it's just spelling differences aside from slang terms)

whichever you like, really. It doesn't matter much whether you like colour or color.

Back in the early 2010s, we always had discussions of Goku vs Naruto vs Seiya all of the time, it was fun. I think I first started powerscaling when I was around 12-14, lmao.

Honestly yeah, it was a mixture of Death Battle and VSBW that drew me in, and Respect threads from Reddit too, but then after those I discovered more like SpaceBattles, ComicVine, etc and that's where my true pipeline/hole/abyss/(insert endless path variation) was.
But this is a discussion for another thread
We should probably close this

I usually would rather continue discussions on older threads than start on new ones of the same topic, since the older thread existed longer (see my Real World Modification Thread vs Cracker's Real World Discussion Thread, I only made the former since it was a more separate subtopic, for other issues I'd rather use the latter especially since it has been around longer and has had more people contribute to it)
I was asking you to close THIS thread, not the one you linked me
Sorry for the confusion welp.
Please reopen the other thread, I'd believe that one merits more contribution.

I closed the one I sent you, that one is four years old and shouldn't be necro'd. You're better off with the new one rather than pinging all of those users on the old one.

Fair point... not sure how making a new thread on the same topic is gonna help though...

Especially cause you kinda already answered it to a degree so yeah...
IDK honestly then whether there's any other point in posting further responses given the main question has been answered pretty much.
Sorry again for the inconvenience, I think it's fine if we close this thread
(Though with the conversation between you and Tomfer, there might be another idea for a conversation thread, but outside of this section of the Forum, about how we first came to know about powerscaling, but I'd rather let another person start that conversation given that it'd bring up the issue of memory (particularly cause exact times and means of introduction could be fuzzy for some of the community members depending on how long they have spent in this section of the Internet) and my OCD is basically triggered by any word or topic to do with memory deterioration and whatnot, so I might not partake in that sort of discussion much)
