----------------------------------- Delos Tue Jul 26, 2005 2:41 pm 84 ----------------------------------- Most users ever online was 84 on Thu Dec 30, 2004 10:12 am This was far too long ago. We need to break this record. To this effect: Come one, come all, come ye to teh interweb at compsci! Why? For the hell of it, just to show that this place can rally and get something done...:lol:. We need at least 85 people for this, but the more the merrier. Friday evening would be a good time (EST). Check the poll for times. If we get enough response, this can happen [does happy dance]. If Friday is not good, post a better date. Damn, dual polls aren't offered here! Bah. ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Jul 26, 2005 3:06 pm ----------------------------------- if I remember correctly, there was a snow storm that covered most of the province... soo.... yea :P ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Jul 26, 2005 4:58 pm ----------------------------------- Ummmm, that 84 toke out the site and got it shut down for a week if i rember corectly and part of thos 84 where poeleop/bots atacking the site witch did not help much :roll: But you are free to try, just let me know when u set a date...... ----------------------------------- Delos Tue Jul 26, 2005 5:17 pm ----------------------------------- You think the server could handle 85+ connections, no bots in there? Hmm...never thought about the logistical side before...we'll try anyway! ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jul 26, 2005 5:39 pm ----------------------------------- I'll write an article about a breakthrough in teaching computer science to highschool students with a link to compsci and then post it on Slashdot. Think it'd work? I'm sure the regulars would love to have an outlet for all those "lol now their server is burning" comments that they've been holding in for the last day and a half. None of those times are really good for me, at the moment, but don't let that stop you. (it's not like there are any other places ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Tue Jul 26, 2005 5:48 pm ----------------------------------- Heh, most users ever. You mean when everyone comes here to have their compsci FP's done on the last day? :) Still, seeing as how usually 6 people is the most I see on at once these days... I highly doubt we will break 20 if everyone tries. But, we can all go on irc! ----------------------------------- person Tue Jul 26, 2005 5:55 pm ----------------------------------- exactly wat happened on the day of 84?? ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Tue Jul 26, 2005 7:08 pm ----------------------------------- Ummmm, that 84 toke out the site and got it shut down for a week if i rember corectly and part of thos 84 where poeleop/bots atacking the site witch did not help much :roll: It was not all real people. The site probably just made it to some popular search engine or some well used site, and there was a wave of bots of something? Sadly, this forum just isnt at that scale yet. ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Jul 26, 2005 8:42 pm ----------------------------------- exactly wat happened on the day of 84?? The war of the google bots Why is it that this site has had so many wars for a "peace full" turing site? ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Jul 26, 2005 10:38 pm ----------------------------------- Why is it that this site has had so many wars for a "peace full" turing site? War is Peace Besides, wars are now outlawed. So lets say we've had "armed conflicts" :lol: ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Jul 26, 2005 11:52 pm ----------------------------------- Besides, wars are now outlawed. So lets say we've had "armed conflicts" :lol: I perfur "police actactions" my self......... Edit: Tho you could say that we librated them ;) ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Jul 27, 2005 2:58 pm ----------------------------------- it felt good when I liberated the dude's shoes. What? :shock: they were being opressed. ----------------------------------- md Wed Jul 27, 2005 8:36 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah, and I've liberated many a sign from it's torturous existance atop a sing post... ----------------------------------- Delos Wed Jul 27, 2005 10:51 pm ----------------------------------- [sigh] 15 votes so far...press on! ----------------------------------- Neo Thu Jul 28, 2005 2:37 pm ----------------------------------- Dont you think it would be better to try something like this when the hordes of turing noobs come this september? ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Thu Jul 28, 2005 5:55 pm ----------------------------------- Well said, and exactly my point :). But, all 15 of us could decide to beat the much smaller irc record of 9! ----------------------------------- Mazer Fri Jul 29, 2005 9:19 am ----------------------------------- Dont you think it would be better to try something like this when the hordes of turing noobs come this september? But the thing about turing noobs is that most of them are only here for the help. Some of them might end up posting source code or submitting their final project, and perhaps a few of those will think about trying to learn C++. But it's only a small percentage of the them that venture out into places like Off Topic. ----------------------------------- Delos Fri Jul 29, 2005 9:33 am ----------------------------------- Ah well, any and all who can, at least have your browser logged in to CompSci between 6-10pm tonight. And join the IRC party if you like as well, perhaps I'll finally install that try it out... ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Fri Jul 29, 2005 1:16 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah Coutsos, but at least there is a bigger chance of some of them randomly being on at that time. I would go on later today, but I'm going away for a few days pretty soon :( :). ----------------------------------- Mazer Fri Jul 29, 2005 8:46 pm ----------------------------------- What the crap, guys? I just got home early and thought I might make it for the IRC channel's record and what do I see? FOUR users in the channel, and that's counting the bot. Maybe Friday night wasn't such a good idea. Everyone must be watching the PanAm games. ----------------------------------- Delos Fri Jul 29, 2005 8:55 pm ----------------------------------- Bah, not to mention the long weekend. Never fear! We shall try again...sometime or another... ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Jul 30, 2005 3:14 pm ----------------------------------- why is it a long weekend? ----------------------------------- Notoroge Sat Jul 30, 2005 4:21 pm ----------------------------------- why is it a long weekend?Because I threatened the PM that I'd kill his puppy if he didn't make it one. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon Aug 01, 2005 5:40 pm ----------------------------------- Heh, yeah, I just came back from my trip - going back on IRC now. The long weekend is because of "Simcoe Day" if I am not mistaken...
