    I'll be in Ohio, so I won't be able to participate. Not with a mic, anyway.

    I have decided to make the time in which it begins at 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. People who live somewhere other than the the Eastern Time Zone, please try and figure out when you can join and adjust where necessary.

    I'll be in New York City with the crew
  • Kate MonsterKate Monster
    I shan't be in NYC with the rest of the crew, but I will be having people over for a cookout and then going to see Ponyo.

    If you wouldn't mind me sitting here and typing responses while listening to you guys talk, then I might download Skype and participate. Unless I wanna go out and buy some cheap mic, which I could, but I don't really want to...

    I won't be able to attend.

    Okay so the deal with the sudden change in date in the first place was that I thought (according to my parents) we were going on vacation this Saturday so I changed the date. Just a few minutes ago I found out that they mixed up the dates and I'm going next week, so sorry for any inconvenience or confusion.
  • lackofcheeselackofcheese
    I can probably manage to be awake at 7am on a Sunday, so this ought to work fine.
  • AxelAxel
    Turns out I might leave for something on Saturday...So, we'll see what happens. Maybe I won't be able to go.

    GMT at that time is 10PM, or 9PM, damn summer

    How do I take part in this, is there a skype account I need to call?
  • GeoGeo
    Just wanna make sure everyone remembers that tomorrow at 5:00 PM is the Geekchat. Just wanna throw that out there so that people don't forget.

    I have a question about Geekchat and it is something that either luke burrage or Apsup mentioned during the last Geekchat. What would be the best times to hold a Geekchat so that a lot of people can take part in them? The reason why I'm asking this over the months I've noticed that Geekchats are usually very sporadic and only come around every so often, and I think it should be said that the last successful Geekchat that had a wide range of members present was the one in July that had Emily, Viga, and a bunch of other forumites. The last two Geekchats (counting the one that just ended) only had a couple members present, and as a result they eventually fell apart due to the low number of attendees. If anyone has any suggestions on how to hold a Geekchat so that a greater amount of people can be present, I think it'd be very beneficial to all future Geekchats in the future

    Well, it looks like I didn't miss too much while I was sleeping.
    I think that in order to hold a successful GeekChat, you would want to pre-arrange it to ensure some level of attendance. It would help a lot if the time was flexible from the start, in order to accommodate as many people as possible.

    Hey, Lordyupa, read up this forum thread a bit! It starts by you saying "Geekchat on Saturday!" and then, if I count correctly, ten replies from people saying "I can't make it!" How many people said they could make it? One or two.

    This ratio of positive to negative is all you need to know that Saturday evening isn't the best time. I was only at home because I was a bit unwell, otherwise I'd have been out, and I only joined once I'd finished another project. And by that time it was 1.30 AM.

    Next time try posting something like "I'd like to do a geekchat this week/weekend. When are most people free? If you want to take part, tell me which night is best for you and which night is worst for you." Then select the night where the most people/most interesting people can take part.

    Also, when other people are having interesting discussions, don't type in the chatroom "I'm bored." It's rather impolite.

    You are right and I will incorporate your suggestions into future geekchats as I feel they are more well rounded and the only reason I set it on Saturday because I had a feeling people were free on Saturday.

    Also, when other people are having interesting discussions, don't type in the chatroom "I'm bored." It's rather impolite.
    The deal with that there was that I was really, really tired from staying up stupidly early and right around that time I was about to fall asleep and I wasn't exactly thinking correctly so I'm sorry if I came off as impolite and I hope there are no hard feelings.

    You know, summer in general is bad for me to Geekchat. I'm out being social on most weekend evenings, and on the weekdays, I'm busy with work.

    I missed this past one because of a chunk of the FRC's Brooklyn moving. Their place is the new hotness!

    Moving? Not that it's any of my business, but did Scrym move?
  • gomidoggomidog
    FRC, not Scrym directly.

    The Johnny Wander crew. <3
