Well over ten minutes left.  Where is everybody?  

lol, probably sleeping ;)

does the count only update every 15 minutes? (if so we'll have to wait till 9:07 plus 15 minutes (too early in morning to do math) before we see the actual count.

Fail.  It's a shame, too.  I think, though, that many people may have decided not to join in due to us already breaking this record not too long ago.  That, and this is during the work week for most people.  It's not that it wasn't last year, either, but it does make it a little harder to coordinate things.  Oh well, next year it's on a Friday, so we might have better luck next time.

This kind of event is cool, but I honestly think it would be cooler if we break the record without knowing it, as we did a couple weeks ago.

It's probably easier to do it on a weekend or at a time where a large portion of the user base is out of work (although I know a lot of you are here during work as well).

Honestly, I didn't even show up.  I was busy with work and totally forgot about it.  I'm sure that it is the same with many others.  :)

No problem.  You should be on Ella and not your PC, anyway.  You do have to keep your priorities in line.

lol, we would have needed a pretty large number of people (another 27 or so; I think we topped out at 40, which honestly on any given afternoon we regularly approach 40  anyway!) So basically the people who would have been here anyway, committed to being here, lol ;)  So I guess the record will be broken in a pretty random way.

I think this goes to show that we really need a good site redesign.  Having something posted prominently about the record-breaking attempt would likely have been helpful (instead of buried in this thread).

I think what we learned is that 67 is going to be hard to beat. I mean we needed 27 more, and I dont see that happening even if every else who saw the thread did show up I dont think they'd add up to 27.

It will probably be beaten one day when we least expect it, just like it happened a few weeks back.  Oh well, too bad it didn't happen today.

lol, well I think i'm done with mods for the moment. At some point tho I still want to shorten the spacebar on my 1391401. That will probably involve a dremel tool and lots of soldering and a chopped off finger or two, so that'll be fun. Not till the summer though ;)

I have been noticing that there are more and more visitors (non-members) browsing the site.  Just now (3/17 at 2:18 CDT), there were 54 people viewing the site, but only a handful of actual members.  It looks like site is starting to get more traffic be it from searches or the Hot Hardware and Tech Report artcles.  It is really awesome to see people taking interest in what is going on here.  Great work, iMav and everyone here on spreading the word.

Also, the comments of a Slashdot article about the NPR article on Unicomp got hit with quite a few Geekhack links - and, yes, some were from me.

(Of course, Slashdotters being what they are, they may have called the article a Slashvertisement. :))

The forum software update must have started the visitor count again from scratch because it was 495 users (or bots), as pointed out by FKSSR.
