ATTN: Most Users Online Ever

Postby Joey » April 2nd, 2008 12:10 am

Have any of you guys ever noticed the text at the bottom of the Forum:
Most users ever online was 119 on April 25th, 2006 4:16 am

April 25th, 2006? That was like 2 years ago!! Surely the Jpod Population has grown since then!
So, to show our support of JapanesePod101
I propose that we break this record of only 119 people online at one time by picking a date
in which we can get as many people of the JPOD community on at once!

If you are interested in doing this please leave a post and suggest a date/ time of day
and once we have an official time i will edit this post and include it here.

I propose 1200GMT on a weekend. That should put the time sometime during the day (as opposed to the middle of the night) for most of the world. Also, being on a weekend, it is less likely to be during someone's work day. (It will only be the middle of the night for areas close to the IDL.) This will put it in the evening for Eastern Asia, the afternoon for Europe, and fairly reasonable hours of the morning for the Americas.

The thought of getting people together at the same time makes me think that jpod should add a live chat feature.

I wouldn't say there are even close to 100 regular users, and I'm sure a lot of people would forget or not be online to login. In any case, the last record was set of its own accord, so would forcing one really reflect the current popularity of the forum?

Hmm, good point.
But still wouldn't it be fun to try to get everyone online at once in a planned event?

Wouldn't it be more fun to meet in Japan for a jpod101 party?

Yeah, I know, I'm dreaming. :)
