With the current suggestions of being able to change your timezone and have times on AG displayed accordingly (link to that thread), I'm gonna throw an idea out here - fuzzy time.
Integrate an option to have the time displayed as a relative figure. For instance, instead of it being the fixed time format (like Posted Oct 4, '08 at 4:07pm), it would relate to when it was posted compared to when you view it. Options can be such as 'Just now', 'A few minutes ago', 'Ten minutes ago', 'Fifteen minutes ago', 'Half an hour ago', 'One hour ago', 'Two hours ago', 'One day ago', 'Two days ago', 'One month ago', and so on and on and on - the gaps between each fuzzy definition of time becoming larger and larger, because it becomes more and more irrelevant when it was posted.
Another site I'm on has this integrated, and I find it really useful - I'm one of those people who doesn't constantly now what date or time it is, and the 'fuzzy date' format allows me to ignore the calculations and just react to how long ago the post I'm reading was made.
I hope I explained the idea properly, and I would like to hear your opinions. It's probably not something that will be implemented soon either way, but would others find it as useful as I do?
Well I totally stole this from FA, so duh! :P Looks like I don't check my messages there often enough, doesn't it?
Okay, on topic. Still no arguments against this, and people have stopped complaining about not being able to figure the timezones out. Can we haz fuzzy time nao?
Excellent idea! I am also one of those who doesn't even know the date when i look at the current time format. I'm pretty sure this suggestion will be implemented to the new Armor Games 3.0, this will be really useful and helpful.
