Gotta prepare better next time guys....

[Hamish 1,370]

How many people did you get in there?

[RipRap 4,400]

There was like 33 in the chat room. Not even close to the average night chat...

It failed because you didn't pick the right time (should've been 10-11PM GMT), created confusion by changing the times, held the event too early after announcing it (should've waited atleast 60 days) and you didn't do signups. Also the sheep thing.

Better luck next year.

[TheHaso2011 152]

We will Re-doit next year and do Mass-Advertising... How did you hear of it already?

[SimFox 804]

Did you ever consider the possibility that it fails because it totally pointless exercise? One that doesn't really produce any benefit. Something that is done purely for doing it sake. I get it it could be fun once, may be twice, but beyond it the hollow nature of it is overwhelming.

And the whole effort!!! Do it and do massive advertising?! really so what is it then? Any representation of real popularity of the feature? Given that you have to drag people to it through your massive advertisement?

If someone has so much time and energy wouldn't it be better to fix search on STEX, or get scrolling to the over-sized images (once expanded)? Of course all of it requires real effort, know how and dedication, not like making and breaking totally pointless records...

Just my 2 cents...

If you were actually there you wuld have found out that it was fun, and I'm sure many People would Agree with Me. We knew it was going to fail. Not enough People had replied, But we did it Because our Lives Aren't Boring Dull days, spent sitting round Being serious. We want to have some fun! Its the Holidays where I live and aren't Holidays supposed to be a Time to Have a Break from school or Work and Actually Have a Bit of fun? 33 People were there last night and i would say at least 30 of them Enjoyed. If you want to be Serious you Be Serious, But every year or so, we want a big event to happen, Most of the Moderators were there last night, Dirk was there and, In fact, you didnt have to be Talking or chatting you just had to be on with your Acount!

Next year we will definetly do it Again, and if you haven't noticed, someone from Simtrop (Forgotten who) Said that last year they did so Much Advertisement that they PMed Everyone they Knew on Simtrop.

I hope this proves my Point to you and if it doesnt, go away, you didnt even need to reply, keep the Bad things to your self!

I heard about that. Apparently a lot of people were angry because they were getting so many messages about it. That's why we didn't send PMs out.
