:::Now that would be interesting! I still don't understand your use of "currently", unfortunately - I think we're going a bit too far on it. By "currently", our current (as in, right now, the present time) method of dating uses AF, period, so whether or not we still reference BF dates does not undermine our years as being AF. Does that make sense? [[User:Asara|Asara]] 02:09, 9 May 2008 (GMT) | :::Now that would be interesting!

::::Perfectly. _my_ point however was that AF and BF are used concurrently, so it doesn't make usage of the term "currently" any more appropriate (since there was never a transition between usage of "BF" to usage of "AF"); I'm not denouncing "currently" as an inappropriate term, though. --[[User:Slurpz|Slurpz]] 02:26, 9 May 2008 (GMT) | ::::Perfectly. _my_ point however was that AF and BF are used concurrently, so it doesn't make usage of the term "currently" any more appropriate (since there was never a transition between usage of "BF" to usage of "AF"); I'm not denouncing "currently" as an inappropriate term, though. --[[User:Slurpz|Slurpz]] 02:26, 9 May 2008 (GMT) | ||
:::::Oi. Well, given that you understand my usage of currently, that AF and only AF is what dates our years right now, what would you suggest otherwise? [[User:Asara|Asara]] 12:37, 9 May 2008 (GMT) | |||
:::::And regarding BF - did you say that BF is NOT a canonized term but something more a product of player-derived lingo? [[User:Asara|Asara]] 12:39, 9 May 2008 (GMT) | |||
My only suggestion is to include mention of BF, if it is indeed canonical. I cannot remember for sure if I've seen it used as canon, but it is already used on Lore ([[Nicator|here]], for example; where does that info come from though?). --[[User:Slurpz|Slurpz]] 12:46, 10 May 2008 (GMT) | |||
Going back to the original question (and I haven't been able to find a poll in the Forums) can we pick a standard format: 350AF or 350_AF? Both instances can be found in the Wiki. Cheers. [[User:Gnaash|Gnaash]] 20:44, 20 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
I don't think it really matters. Feel free to use both unless someone comes up with a serious reason not to use one or the other. [[User:Asara|Asara]] 22:12, 20 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
:I personally prefer ###_AF, and greatly dislike A.F. with the dots. Mostly aesthetic. [[User:Soludra|~Soludra]] 23:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
:I think I can let it slide. Really hard not to sweat the details though! :) [[User:Gnaash|Gnaash]] 15:50, 21 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
