Maybe they will accidently release it early. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

We need an exact time so that we can prepare for 2.0!
Whatever time you choose to release it, I will be up. 12AM EST is just fine for me, because that would be 8am GMT.
Enougth of your vaguearities old man! (i don't care if vaguarities isn't a real word)
We need a time! We need a time! We need a time! e.t.c.k
Join teh revolution!

Does it matter if there's a slow trickle of downloads then a big rush or vice versa ?
What does make sense is that people are on hand to sort out any possible problems, which basically means when Flay, MonsE and Co are going to be awake.
Which shockingly enough, would be during the day EST time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Also, IIRC more than one website was taken down because they didn't have enough bandwidth to cope with d/ls. It took me a good 15-20 minutes to find a good download on the night.
I said it will be released at 9:10am, I used a simply math equation to work it out, but i've forgotten what it was <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
