I am curious as to what time zone this site operates in? I have lost my tally on the forum contributions badge when I made a post just before 9 pm EST but according to my contributions it was listed as just before 2 am. I lost my 60 some days out of 100 tally which was a shame but not a big deal, but now it seems like if I post anytime after 8 pm EST it is counted on the next day. Thank you for the help!
