Okay, so you know how sometimes you get behind in a thread? Well I feel like we should have some sortof thing to keep track of what dy it should be, and have people say when every few threads starts or ends. I'm sure this is too difficult to keep up with, just an idea.

1.) It's spelled "Calendar".
2.) I don't really think something like that is necessary. If only because lots of people kind of just play around with time in their threads. Making it so every thread has to be on a strict time schedule would add some unwanted annoyance to the process of RPing. What if you want to make a thread that takes place at a certain time? Would you have to wait until the rest of the board gets to that day? What happens if someone makes an unscheduled time jump in a thread?
Putting the entire board on a calendar schedule is really restrictive and, just speaking from personal opinion, would be incredibly stressful.

Think of it like a newspaper comic strip.
Sometimes each comic strip is a day apart, sometimes they are minutes apart.

there's no need to start off pointing out spelling mistakes, it's rude and uncalled for.
There's times where one person needs to speed up time to get things going faster, if you had done that in a tread and jumped days i'd use most of my post filling in some blanks and go on with the story so we don't spend a month irl rping a day.

Uhhh, don't we already spend a month IRL rping a day?
EDIT: hurr hurr, anyways.
With the way the board runs, if we were all on the same time we'd be forced into an unwanted and ridged schedule that would leave some of us twiddling thumbs for awhile so others could catch up, and traveling would be even more so a pain.

Just to clear this up allthough I realize it's not perfectly ideal. What I really meant was sortof an explanation. If you're in a thread that starts in RL winter, and it strecthed into spring becuse it depended on one person (last time I used an example in a suggestion thread someone thought I was calling them out. I'm not). Well then somebody goes across the country because the thread was only a few days, and months had passed for everyone else.
