Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

i suppose so, happy new years 2048.
But that's not wrong.
2017 is just the number of revolutions since some **** nugget was born.
Didn't the french mark years from the date they gained independence?
365 days is 365 days. No matter what day you start from.

Atilla, we don't celebrate the Earth passing a specific point around the Sun. So it's not like "wow we've reached the point at which UTC started a new year, time to go nuts at 7 pm!!!" No, it's a celebration of making through the calendar year of 2016 and starting fresh with a new month and new year. Which means it DOES make sense to celebrate regionally based on timezones. You don't really expect people to start celebrating a new year halfway through December 31st do you? No that would be silly. I'm gonna celebrate once my calendar reaches January 1st and if you don't like other people having fun and filling up YOUR internet with celebratory posts then maybe you can just suck it up for 24 hours every year.

first off do you know what daylight savings are, and secondly, as I had said in my first post in this topic, your timezone isn't special to the rest of the world. i reiterate my point, it should be celebrated at UTC.

A calendar year isn't even exactly a full rotation around the sun, so it isn't a full year since you seem to care about that so much. Should we wait until 365 days and a quarter has past to celebrate then too? And what do we do when there is a leap day? Celebrate a day early?

you should celebrate when the earth has completed a full orbit, which is very much possible with modern mathematics and physics you know. couldn't care less what people decide their calendar year is, for some people maybe a calendar year means 6 days.

starting now (19:43 on Jan. 1st) my year begins.
After one full revolution
it will be 19:43 on Jan. 1st
so when people say they're celebrating at midnight EST jan 1st, and then the following year celebrate at midnight EST jan 1st... it's a full revolution.
