2 new BG babies! (for real)

Hey guys! What do you think about the sequence and time stamps of our posts?
At this point, stories are considered to be taking place in real time. Instructions are to place a date at the top of each post to keep track of when they are happening because, with our busy schedules, it takes days or weeks to complete a thread. As a result, multiple parts of stories happen at the same time.
Rules state that events happening more that 6 months in the future go in the "Future" board.
Do you feel this system is working? I relate to feeling like it will take forever to complete a story. If a character becomes pregnant, we presumably have to wait 9 months to birth the baby. On the other hand, if we have anything goes, our timeline will get messed up and characters won't really be able to interact. In addition, because we have real lives, we don't really get on consistently, so many threads are left unfinished. Case in point, with the board renewal, I am revisiting old plotlines and had to change some of my characters' timelines.
Does anyone have an insight or ideas for the best way to make timelines work?
