[fsx] Earth Hour

Posted by firestormx on March 28, 2008, 10:06 p.m.

k, just this once [and maybe a few other times in the future] I'm adding an [fsx] thingy. I think it's gimicky, but I want people to read this.

Tomorrow, Saturday the 29th, Earth Hour will occur. This will be at 20:00 EST (8:00 PM Server Time). During this hour, you basically just shut down the power to everything. If it's just you, turn off your lights, your PC, uncharge the DS that's been charging for two days now…

So yeah, 8:00 server time. I don't want to see anyone online. I won't be online myself, but I"ll have a log kept, and anyone online during this hour will be BANNED. Any guest will get their IP banned.

I won't shut off the server, 'cause there's other sites hosted on it that may not be happy. Besides, it's more fun to ban people who don't listen.

8 pm where I live… no wait, it's GMT+11 here because of DST, so… hmm… 9 pm!

EDIT: Gah, it's still going to be 8 PM here. EST = GMT+10 so lolwtf…

Anyway it's one hour to earth hour here, and this is being posted at server time 4 am. Err… I'm confused now.

Epescially since:

"This will be at 20:00 EST (8:00 PM Server Time)."

20-12 = 8, WOW, exactly the same!

I'm in the same timezone as F1ak3r, so I'm fine. It's not like I'll go on 64digits in the morning. And EST is how many hours behind the GMT?

I assume people with green energy will be excused?

Ya, my family uses some great Bullfrog company that is 100% green. But meh, you might as well join in on saving that energy. Half the work is getting a good source, the other half is not wasting it. And CBC here is doing a light pollution test. So lights off at least

Fortunately I dont need electricity to use 64D. I've been collecting all the hot air from around here and I use it to run steam powered generator. haha…

Bullshit, I've never heard of this Earth hour thingy.

I hope you all realize this is an elaborate prank. FSX made up Earth hour. He just told all the worlod leaders to play along. Also, due to our Freedom of Internet, it is illegal to ban us from a website due to enviromental beliefs. This mean FSX can not ban us, even if he says he will. So I will still be using this site, and I hope you do too!
