I notice your maintenance announcement said commencement at 11 am EST. Which EST is this? Are we not supposed to be running on GMT? And why does it have to be so mean anyway?

Agree with Tea. Lack cant u somehow integrate this with php so that the time we set in our settings can be used on the time that the site will be closed by?

Dude, EST is GMT - 5 hours. And lack is an American, it's EST Eastern Standard Time in America... New York City time... whatever time you wanan call it. Quitcherbitchin'

Although it would be nice to have the current server time shown on the site. I know that it's in MST (Mountain time, USA, GMT - 7) but it'd still be nice for times I get drunk and forget.
