Where do we announce the (temporary) opening of LightBulbs? In Press?
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Thrive to spite them
Actually, no I will ask this, even if it does make things work---
why are we waiting until midnight if the number of seconds is reached well before midnight? That doesn't make sense.
I mean, right now we have a discussion ready to be moved over to the thread but according to the rules as I think they are right now, we have to wait until midnight to open the discussion. That's just, frustrating is the very least emotion I'm looking at.
I can't imagine what would happen if a topic got enough seconds at 9 am board time.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Yes-- When it is opened, that post I made up thread should be put in Press with an appropraite link to the discussion.

I'm thinking because we will end up closing it at midnight, and that makes an exact number of days? But I agree, it seems silly.

We aren't aiting askye. We are just going to let the discussion open 4 hours early. I couldn't put the right time in m post becuse I don't know what time the thread will open.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Asyke, I think we just decided to open Lightbulbs now, but leave the other start/end times at midnight for simplicity's sake.
I suppose if a proposal were seconded 4 times in the morning (board time), we could use noon to keep the actual discussion time as close to 4 days as possible.

Why? I admit, I may have missed it, but . . . . Is it just because it's easier? Cuz I'm all in favor of laziness.

Just cause I can't do math.
If whoever is posting in Press wants to figure out the exact 4 day 3 day split I'm all for it.
if I am psoting it, I am incapable of doing it. it will take me so long to post that it will be obsolete by the time I post.
