[UPDATE] Countdown has ended When I woke up this morning I saw that the countdown has finally ended!
I searched the site but couldn't find anything changed, affected by the countdown.
The site is still the same as it was during the countdown I think, but I could be wrong its morning here
Anyone found something changed?

The countdown is linked to your system clock. It will end at 6:07am your local time.

Real quick thing -
If it is 6:07 AM (CDT), then it is 04:07 / 4:07 AM (PDT), right?

Considering the coordinate times start at 6:07a.m. PDT, I'm assuming that the countdown is to that time in the Pacific time zone.
06:07 PDT - Pacific
07:07 MDT - Mountain
08:07 CDT - Central
09:07 EDT - Eastern
14:07 UTC - Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean)

Thanks. I hate timezones with a passion - my complete lack of math skills combined with bad memory renders me incapable of translating timezones correctly.

Yeah, my countdown stopped early because I live in New Zealand - I haven't noticed anything either, which I suppose is to be expected.

Same here. It was reporting -1 days before, but it seems to have now been fixed so that it stops at 00:00:00:00:000.

All except for 14:07 - mez. The abreviation is CET, or Central European Time. In the summer, it switches to CEST, Central European Summer Time, and the UK switches from GMT to BST, British Summer Time.
The UK is 1 hour ahead of GMT at the moment, being as we are in BST.[/trivia]

no change to the website, either.
I stand corrected:
Authorized personnel can check rendezvous info here.
Unauthorized personnel should know
that I have full license to use any means to
protect the security of these transmissions.
I believe that punishing even minor transgressions
with shockingly excessive force is the best deterrent.
I am relentless, and I have absolutely no conscience
when it comes to executing my mission.
Make your decisions accordingly.
