So I've seen it in at least one other forum, and it seems like an extremely useful function.

Basically it's a BBcode function where you set up a timer for whatever event you're making. IDK what's the best way to do it, but I imagine it working like [timer=18:30:30/Mar/2017 timezone=PST] (or put month before the day if you're into that), then you'd get a formattable text with the time remaining until that.

That's a cool idea :D Don't really know how useful it'd be unless MobaFire ran more competitions or events that required a timer.

So apparently I misspelled Team in the title.

Maybe more events would be held if we had a built-in timer in the forum :P

Neat idea, you could do stuff like time until the end of the guide raffle thing, time until next patch, or maybe do something with the LCS (idk how many people here follow that though).

I'll see how doable this is, thanks for the suggestion Ekki.

Edit: Other than official contest posts (like the guide raffle or larger guide contests), do you guys have any uses for this in mind? Seems like it'd be doable but there's always an opportunity cost to the devs working on something like this. Any reason in particular you guys would want to have access to a tool like this?
Thanks to Minho for the sig!

TBH I suggested it only for forum events/games. I don't know what else it can be used for. My reasoning behind suggesting it is that it would ease the work of future forum games organisers, and it may encourage a bit more of them.

I fully understand it may not be worth the work if it's too complicated to pull off or if you have better options on the works. Feel free to take it as just another option.
