Poll: Auction Closing Time

[help_pk_mod]

because there has been some concern about the present closing time for bidding, Saturday August 28th, 11:59 EST. Unfortunately, the closing time will not be optimal for everyone as we have people from many time zones but this is where you can voice your opinion on the matter.

Also, please note that we would still start closing off new offers roughly

When will we know for sure if the auction time has been changed? I'd like to post about the auction and put up a countdown clock, but I don't want to do it until I'm sure of the end time. Thanks!

sorry to keep you hanging. I wanted to give the poll a few days and it looks like the best option for closing is going to be some time Sunday afternoon (likely around 1 or 2 PM EST, I haven't decided yet). I will be making some posts about important dates and times and procedures some time later today or tomorrow so keep an eye out for more details :)

final closing time: SUNDAY AUGUST 29 1 PM EST. :)

if you come up with a countdown clock, hook us up! we can put it on the comm page or something.

amazing! thank you.
(would you happen to have the html code for it?)

Hmm, it doesn't seem to be showing up, even if I enclose it in code tags. I got it here: http://www.timeanddate.com/clocks/freecountdown.html

(You can also view source on the other link at it should give you the code. I think iframes don't work so well in LJ though...)

ah that's too bad. thanks though! I will check it out!

LJ is restrictive when it comes to scripting languages; see here. The best you can do is post a new reminder post an hour before the time is up, or whatever time you think would be ok. This way ever those unsure when the time is up will be able to easily calculate it. I guess even a retard would be able to add 1 to whatever number.

I think that would be a good idea. I'll post a reminder Saturday and sometime earlier on Sunday.
