Thanks! :D :D

The time zone is GMT, and I think it is Sunday if I remember correctly.

I would like to drop out of the challenge, as I discovered that I don't like tracking my French consumption so closely. Do I need to post on the registration thread, or just stop taking part?

I think there are instructions for dropping out the same place you found out how to register.

It sure would be nice if the bot would wipe out my progress from the earlier challenge. I wonder if I can find the old tweets and get it to remove them.
I don't mean to complain really since i can't fix the database myself and I imagine that the people who could are busy with more important things.
It would just be nice, since right now I enter them both on the bot and on the bars on my sig.As always happens with double databses, I know I'm going to get out of sync eventually...

Could I clean things up by withdrawing to wipe my username out of the system and then restart doing one big tweet to enter what I have already done?

The problem is that the bot has not had the previous data removed. I will eventually get access and repair the problem.

I wasn't able to find any information on the Super Challenge registration thread about how to drop out.

You can just stop. People do it all the time.

You can withdraw from the challenge by tweeting #giveup to the bot. This will delete every trace of you on the challenge page (I have that info from the info page, never tried it myself)

Yeah, this is the instructions page https://super-challenge.language-learners.org/index.php

However, afaiu unregistering now won't delete your stats from the previous challenge, so it's not a solution to the current issue we're experiencing.
