Default Attention all SSTalk Members:

The current record for members on this site at one time occurred back on 04-02-2008 when we had 95 members online. We are trying to break that record on March 17th – St. Patrick’s Day at:
11:15 AM Pacific
12:15 PM Mountain
1:15 PM Central
2:15 PM Eastern


Like any good marketing person, I am trying to promote participation to overwhelm the server that day with a 100+ number of log-ins. Many members have already indicated that they will join in the fun. So won’t you take a moment to let us know that we can count on you that day by answering this poll question. I promise that there will be NO phone booth. Let’s here from everyone.

I am sure our memership has nearly doubled since the record and hope we can double the record this time.

Join in everyone!

Default Thank you MisterJim444!!!!!!

I was re-thinking my comment about taking 'virtual photos' of the phone booth, and the one word that came to mind was "Huh?" Was that an oxymoron?

May we have a topic thread and all log in to say hi in that one place, as we're record breaking?

It is hard to corral all these people, so giving us a place to land similar to the SST Forum Lounge in Vegas, albeit virtual would be great. There's that word again!

"I'm a Record Breaker" thread or something along those lines maybe.

Thank you sir.

Personally, I LIKE the idea of a phone booth! LOL, it has a certain appeal... all those folks, crammed into a phone booth! But either way, we'll be there!

Default My Bad!

I must have clicked the wrong button or didn’t put in the right date when I set up the poll. So I’ll start again. When the poll closed - we had the following confirmed (no need to vote again):

astro, Autodoc, Gina6k, JAMiAM, jcarlisle, John Roser, Lisa T, MisterJim444, StorageLand, Storman, teri_l

And the following that would do their best to be online.

alexlekas, discountmini, JulieA, Sundiver, touchofgold

We clearly need to beat the drum over the next few days if are attempt is to have a chance. Thanks everyone for your help and for having a little fun when it seems that there is no good news out there.

Thanks,
MisterJim444

Reminder for all of you Arizona members/posters (including my fellow SST administrators):

Because of the time change last weekend -- the time change that we Arizonans do not do -- we're now on Pacific time, more or less, so I'll be logging in around 11:15 on St. Patty's. By 12:15 I will have missed the fun.

This would apply, I guess, for parts of Indiana (all of Indiana?) and any other locales that do not spring forward!
