Let's Break the Record!

[ironpeddler]

I was just poking around and noticed this:

"Most users ever online was 600 on Jul 1 2007, 10:18 PM"

Should we try and break that record on the one year anniversary?

That would be this Tuesday night.

Just a thought.

The last post in that thread is a very valid question. Are we doing this at 10:18 pm ET or PT?

 

[Kingantz]

Hopefully that's EST....or else I'll be snoozing by that time probably...

 

[flamchop]

I'm in. But I say whatever number we do come up with should be the new record because bots don't count!

...Like I said, let's do what Keystone_Raider suggested a week ago!

I guess great minds think alike :laugh:

Ask Rod what the time would be....do we each view the time frames by what we select when we register? Does the East Coast see 10:18 PM and the West Coast see 7:18PM?

I think the default is EST when you first join. I recall having to change to PST.

If you travel across country and want to change your time zone, go to your control panel under options/board settings.

OK I will be Mr. Negative on this. It smells of Favre sliding into Strahan for a record breaking "sack". It's contrived, fake and without honor IMHO.
Merits should be used to set a record otherwise all that was accomplished is you set an agenda. Alright, this is me jumping off my soapbox.

It means that if you try and plan to all be online at a certain date and time simply to break this "record", it is not a real record because it has been planned in advance.

All this will do is set a precedent for others to start new threads trying to get people on board to be online at a specific date and time in order to break the previous "record".

The record of 600 users online might or might not be broken, but if it IS broken, it should be because something of significance happened or out of pure chance, not by planning in advance.

No matter what happens... I can tell you I will be in the chat room, as always. And probably drinking (heavily).

so why not stop on by anyway?

The record of 600 users online isn't a real record to begin with, because the overwhelming majority of the 600 were bots. Since then, Rod has worked some computertastic type magic and eliminated them for the most part to speed up the site.

Because taps is at 2200 here at the Old Sailors home and the old bat nurses get surly, that's why.

I'm surprised yer pushin' the envelope by stayin' up that late Doc. I thought that, after you partake of the early bird specials at 1630, you'd hit the rack at 2000.

I have to watch two episodes of MASH at 2100.

Damn Doc, does that air on the UHF or VHF channels? You know, they got these boxes now that hook up to your t.v., that record yer picture shows for you when you (a) are away or (b) otherwise can't/don't want to catch 'em when they air.

I'm institutionalized. It would really f@#k up my dope if my schedule changed.

Understood. I know with you Corpsmen, repetition is the way to harmony; take that away, it's bedlam. Improvise, adapt and overcome ain't fully sunk in.

Please educate this newb. What's a "bot"? Some kind of robot program?
