It says I'm posting in the future by more than 10 minutes. Does that mean Badweb users get next week's race results before anyone else?

It should support NTP, What OS is it running? Is it a shared or private server (rental) or is it purchased and then located somehwere?

It's a unix varient, in a colocation facility, with a paid sysadmin. No idea why he isn't running NTP, but the time imprecision doesn't bother me either.

Time is important, not necessarily for accuracy in logging the time of a post, but for other functions. The admin should do something about that.

Should clarify, we don't need an NTP server, but it should be running an NTP client to keep the box synced. And I agree, time is important to a lot of system things.

If it's unix/linux, NTPD is probably already running, but it may not be configured, or is pointing to a time server that is not there any longer.

I figure if anything, it is the latter, because it wasn't an issue up till around a year ago, then the slowly started getting out of sync. It was reset like 3 or 4 times now

Court needs the time to change so he can tell you he already told you that story he told you to remind him about. It is a plot.
