 Breaking the user record!
At the moment there are 7 users on line, which means we would need 9 more to break the current record of 16! I think it would be cool to try and break that record!  So if there are more than 7 users online again, post a message saying how many there are. Maybe, if we're really lucky, we could get 20 users online at a time!
YES! There are 8 online at the moment  We only need 8 more then

You would have more luck in breaking the record with a date and time for us all to sign on.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. Of course we'd all have to take into account of the time zone differences and everything...

This kind of depends on where in America/Canada you are. In Canada we have 5 different time zones. There is Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Maritimes and Newfoundland. (they are 4.5 hours ahead of pacific) The Eastern time zone is 5 hours behind England. The Pacific one is 8 hours behind England.
The States have even more since Hawaii is 3 hours behind the Pacific times and I am sure that there are different ones for Alaska too.

Ok, if you live in the alaska part, then it would be 9am. If you live kinda by the pacific ocean( near alaska) then it would be 10-10:30am. If you live in central canada( above new york on the map) then it would be round about 1:30pm. Just round about follow the times roughly and hang around for about 45min untill everyone shows up.We'll make it for sat. the 10th of april. Is this okay?
P.S. for lady_t and them it would be closer to 2:30pm than 3:00pm. I'd say about 2:40. Remember to hang around for a while after arriving, as these times, although as accurate as possible are not completely right

ok each message has the time it was posted in YOUR timezone at the top of it.
So LadyT, if you can write what time it is for you *now,* i can use the message time to work out what time i need to come on saturday.
thanku!!
tho i *think* i am roughly 17 hours ahead of you, which would mean i have to come online at 8am sunday morning! if that is the case then i cant make it, its too early in the morning for me to get out of bed!!
ps for me it is 2am at the moment

 This is hopeless! I don't know what to do then, coz if I do it at a different time in s.a, then it's just gonna rearrrange everything! Maybe if I could make south african time at 7am then sydneys time would be 3pm, right. The new times would be:
South africa- 7am
Sydney, australia- 3pm
New york- 12:30am(is this too early?)
Moscow,Russia- 8am
England- 5am(too early?)
Ok, these times are also really inconvenient, but I guess it's impossible then. If I do s.a any later, it messes up sydney and new york  Oh well, can any one else figure out different suitable times?
p.s. sorry, i only realised now, the guest who posted those times was me  that's why it's confusing to figure out. (I forgot to log in)

Did some investigation into this and found a great website http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc
It converts time zones for us
So Midnight in Sydney (where Mike is) converts to:
4 pm in Johannesburg (is this close to where you are Barbie??)
2 pm in England
9 am in New York (EST)
6 am in LA
5 am in Alaska
So far this seems almost do-able.
