I thought using timestamps and such had been common practice since like the beginning of time? (or at least the past 5-6 years since I started playing with php :P)

Not really, crons can be really useful, especially when updating mass users.

Timestamps and crons are wildly different things.

Sometimes it'd needed to have a very frequent cron, but for something like counting down minutes it's a bit stupid as timestamps exist. Crons can be great if you're wanting to export all orders at a certain time, or do a mass update on a lot of data at once.

There's a nice discussion about this here: http://makewebgames.io/showthread.php/31481-Crons-VS-Time-Stamp

(Niceness of thread not guaranteed, I skimmed over it.)
