    April 1st's _real_ wtf (err, wth)

    Is that a site about blunders in IT messes up it's own April Fool's prank by inadvertently breaking links to the forums from the main page.

    I had the same affect using IE7 a little while ago. Switched to firefox and everything was working fine.

    That doesn't help narrow down the issue...

     I think he was just messing with us for a few hours.  Links on the side went to a redirect loop.  Seems to be "working" now.

    Gotta say I like the little guy on the WTH banner though.  We need stickers for that one :P

    It's broken in firefox for me too...I had to edit the link from wth to wtf in order to get into the forums.

    How is that even an insult? So what if he masturbates? Why do you have such an invested interest in him, so much so to the point where you actually found that information out? If you're going to insult someone the very least you can do is to make you own insults, which you half did with MasterAsshat.

    Was that an attempt to offend someone? If so, you are a COMPLETE failure. Get a life, "Lysis".

    He is in a GMT +10 timezone, and is too stupid to understand that a US site run by an American would be using an american time.

    Actually it is pretty clear he is joking. But you are not going to understand that when you are just skimming through all the threads and replying to anything and everything.

    The real WTF is that there are positive and negative timezones in the first place. Why aren't the date line and time zone 0 the same place?

    The real WTF is that there are positive and negative timezones in the first place. Why aren't the date line and time zone 0 the same place?

    When we (the British) were making the timezone laws of the world we realised that it would be inconvenient to have a different date to a neighbour one of two timezones over. The closer people are to us, the more likely we wanted to make it that they would be in the same day as us. The only logical way to do that was the +12 to -12 time zone thing and put the confusing today/tomorrow line on the opposite side of thew world. Since only foreigners live there, we don't really care. In fact it's a bonus to make things tricky for those funny foreigners, tbh. Just a shame we couldn't include the French.

    There are a few rogue island nations who find this annoying and have used 14-or-something-hour offsets to stay in the same day as their island neighbours, but since they're just run-around-in-grass-skirts-eating-people type persons, we haven't bothered to yet classify them as time terrorists. One day, though...

    About par on the snob factor I'd expect from a British person. Thinking you are better than everyone else just because they are different or live somewhere else.
