Because that was mid-evening. It was 7:00 PM EST when not in daylight savings time so it is not always 8:00 PM.Β

As someone else noted it is based on the UTC--Coordinated Universal Time

When you have a global site the time zone chosen for anything is basically arbitrary

Because that is the new day based on the world time zone known as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).Β

I was certain that Yahoo Answers would close down at 8:00 PM tonight. I just posted 5 questions I hoped to make the last in Yahoo Answers history and am disappointed it is not closed at 8:00 PM as I would have won with a question asking "Are your Christmas Decorations Still Up" and another question saying I was new to Yahoo Answers and wondering how it works and how I can get points. I really hoped that would be the last one.Β
