Time trouble

"Come and play Trivia tonight in the chatroom at 11PM EST!"

That's waht it said on the news flash thingy on the TMF tonight. Well, fine. That's fair enough. Problem is, all times on the board are apparantly taken by GMT, and we are told the trivia is at 11:00pm EST! Now call me old fashioned, but isn't that a little useless?! I for one don't have a clue about time differences between Enland and America, so being given a time in EST means nothing to me. Why can't everything just be in the same time? Wouldn't that make life easier?!

i have to agree i am often confused with the times being listed in EST not GMT could someone please convert the time into GMT as well!

Time conversion

Hello folks.

England is 5 time zones earlier then the Us East coast (EST) so trivia starts for you at 4AM

Yah, I know that sucks. The problem of course is that on the US West coast it will only be 8PM, it's hard to find a time that allows everyone to participate at a reasonable hour. I'll be looking into some options to make things better for our European members.
