Re: I'm confused with this 1 post per day

It will look strange to some depending on the time of day and timezone. Even though the site is a .co.uk domain its hosted in Florida, U.S. Therefore, you have to take into account some scripts that we run, are based on the server time which is 5 hrs behind GMT.

Most of our scripts are run on a CRON, this is a type of switch that does many things throughout the website per day. However, if there was no one in these forums, then the CRON script would not ever be run - this maybe delayed in the early hours here in the UK when the internet traffic is quite quiet. We have many scripts that run at various intervals, and do numerous tasks throughout the day.

The CRON's for the arcade are quite complex, since they deal with a lot of data and may look like you are posting twice per day, but it will depend on the time of the post.

The way they are run now, is automatically, without using any intervention from us. Basically, it saves us time and a lot of work.
