The forum changes times to match your time zone. For example, if someone posts at noon on the East coast, I see it as 9 AM here in PST. So, yes, sometimes the 2:30 is accurate, sometimes it is an adjusted time. Sushi has been known to post at ridiculous hours. :-) I've seen him on there in Texas when I'm on at 1 or 2 AM in California.
