It really helps to coordinate events, not having to count all those pesky timezones.

Useful! Or you can just figure out the GMT and subtract/add...

Which screws up because GMT doesn't account for daylight savings.

Daylight savings time is a myth.

Daylight savings time just moves you one category. So if you are EST or GMT-5, you calc your time at GMT-6 during the autumn/winter months.

I used to use timeanddate.com a lot when I was moderating the prelude forums for old EfU. It really does make a big difference for helping people know when an event is going to occur. You can even add titles and ending times to your events now! Eg.

// Event will occur on Friday 28 May at 8.30am UTC

And yes, I have the following personal rules about posting date/times:
1) Use UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) instead of GMT as people psychologically associate GMT with what time it is in London... whereas in summer London is actually on British Summer Time (BST is UTC +1).
2) Always post the time on the forum as it would be at UTC and not in your personal timezone, so people don't have to follow the link if they prefer to use their head to calculate it - and they are less likely to screw up a calculation if it's working straight from UTC.
