Chinkoln Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 What timezone does the Shard run off of? At what point do things reset, and when does a new day officially start on the Shard? There isn't an important reason for me wanting to know this, I am just curious. I have seen a few questions in the past answered and part of the answer was related to timezone. Also, I have been really close to getting the most reputation for a few days now. I am always ahead when I go to sleep, but in the morning there is always someone who passed me by just a few reputations, so I want to know when the count stops adding to me on one day and starts adding to another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 I think that it's based off the East Coast? I remember being pretty confused on New Years Eve when post dates were saying that we were already in 2021. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunamor Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 I don't think it's the East Coast, as the birthdays reset around either 7:00 or 8:00 pm there, depending on daylight savings. That could just be a weird birthday fluke thing though, as they reset around 4:04 my time, which means that it can't be exactly at midnight somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozomby Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 I would hope that the site's running in UTC, but I have no evidence to support that it is. It's just convention to run websites/databases/etc. in UTC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspiring Writer Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Also, is there a reason that weird spambots tend to come during the later hours where I come from? Any correlation there, I've always been curious about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Some things like the leaderboard reset Pacific, but upvotes per day do not have a daily reset time. That goes 24 hours after your first upvote. So it kind of depends and so you'd need to be more specific. There's not really useful answers there. The site should automatically detect your current time zone. 2 hours ago, Aspiring Writer said: Also, is there a reason that weird spambots tend to come during the later hours where I come from?

It's just that they have a tendency to last longer at American night time, so you feel there are more bots. @Spren of Kindness that is because Tor is in East Coast time, so that's when the "release parties" are usually set and that's when the book is available in America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, thx, that makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 That's the leaderboard, which as I said, was in Pacific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
