I may possibly be moving faster than the speed of light. This morning new posts (even my posts) showed on the board a minute earlier than the time on my desktop clock. Now the newest posts are 5 minutes ahead of my time.
So, if I never see you guys again, have fun.

EDIT: example: it's 6:56

No, you're just going really fast, since you're still going forward in time.

But if I was just going really fast, I would perceive your time to be slower than mine, and you would perceive my time to be slower than yours.
Maybe I'm moving at a slight slant in a hitherto undiscovered dimension.

The uniformity only applies if you're not accelerating. Since you're presumably within range of an Internet connection, it's safe to assume that you've had to accelerate to stay in relative proximity, breaking the symmetry.

Hm. I'll have to translate that later. I've been awake for a very long time.
