I'd like to see something like that. Being a European player (with the US version, but still living in Europe), it's a slight inconvenience that everyone always lists times in one of the American time zones, and usually neglects to mention which one. I can never get what times people are talking about unless I open a brand new tab and check out my time zone clock bookmark, and even then I keep getting it wrong.
So, yes, I agree.

In Simple Machines Forum (which we use for our supergroup), there's a built in [time] tag.
It works like this: you specify a date and time in a time zone, and put it inside the [time] tag, like so:
Then some magic happens, so a player in New York would see Wednesday, 13 April 2011, 03:56 and a player in San Fransisco would see Wednesday, 13 April 2011, 00:56.
I.e. the reader would see the time and date entered, but automatically converted to their local time zone and date format (as set in their forum account settings or what you can find out from the network location), and also taking different daylight saving times into account.
If a similar feature were to be introduced to the forum, it would be a lot easier to coordinate events, teams and leagues across the world, fostering a true global community in the spirit of the upcoming Global Server Access feature!
