Blast, won't be back on my dorm connection 'til the following Tuesday...

And assuming I still have an internet connection at home, I'm GMT -5, and can be on pretty much anytime between local-noon and local-'wee hours of the next day,' which translates into anytime after 5PM GMT.

Assuming, of course, I can get online at all. :P

doesn't the "Who's Online" automatically refresh itself every few minutes?

Indeed it does, Stealth. Anyway, this is good - keep the ball rolling, guys, we're going to need more than this if we want to break the record. ;)

Well, I was going to do that when more people had posted, but you're free to give it a stab. :)

January 1st - 5th would be cool, 7th looks bad :(

Potential-Online-Times:

Timezone: CET (GMT+1)

Mondays: 7 PM - 10 PM
Tuesdays: depends
Wednesdays: 5 PM - 1 AM <-- this is what the 7th would be, sucks
Thursdays: 2 PM - 1 AM
Fridays: 2 PM - 3 AM
Saturdays: 1 PM - 4 AM
Sundays: 1 PM - 1 AM

January 1st - 5th is still holidays here so that would be perfect :)

Holidays: 24/7 ;)

actually 5th would be the best, as lightspeed already suggested. It's weekend so people have more free time.

But the 5th... isn't symbolic. :p

Come on, guys, that's less than 50 people. We're not going to break the record with that!

if you can get 60 people to say they'll be there, you'll break the 77 record easily, because there's always a few dozen guests and other members on.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
