This may be an odd grammar question. I was surfing the interwebs, and came upon this page:

Now, you can ignore the actual images heh. My question is in the comments...the people arguing about whether or not the other person's comment is subjunctive form. I did some searching and couldn't decide if it was or not. Seems more like a standard cause/effect sentence. I won't be able to sleep properly until I know for sure, so, any thoughts? Smile

By the looks of it, it depends on word choice to be past indicative or past subjunctive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjunctive_mood#The_subjunctive_in_English
