I've recently noticed that the time in the top right hand corner seems to be two-three minutes wrong?

The RAWK clock is correct. Every single clock, watch or time telling device in your house is wrong.

Being Christmas, it's had a few...

RAWK accepts no liability for missed appointments, buses, trains or planes on account of the incorrectness of the chronometer.

And I thought it was just me.

For the last couple of days, I've been posting posts, and when I read them back after posting, the time stated on them is three minutes ahead of the time clock on rawk.

I thought I was posting from inside the tardis at one point.

...On the third stroke the clock will now be 4 and a half minutes fast. It's getting faster and faster!

I blame it all on the Large Hadron Collider.
Since they turned thet mo'fooker on, time has started to accelerate.

We're all doomed! Doomed I tell thee. Doooooomed!

RAWK is travelling at the speed of light. The clock is tied to a server in the US that is stationary. Shit happens.

haha will lead to tons of confusion when posters come on later to see posts from others made at 3:15. They'll be thinking they couldn't get on at that time and everyone else could

There used to be a specific trick using the RAWK clock that would get you through first time at 8.15am....

Hence the annoyance

CraigDS · « **Reply #38 on:** January 28, 2017, 11:07:52 am »

Seems more or less correct for me, maybe a little less than a minute behind the actual time (if my iPhone is correct).

If my phone is correct, the RAWK clock is at least 36 seconds out.
