It would be fun to plan a time that everyone could jump on PF and we could have like a record of 1000 members on the board at once.

Yes, until the board crashes. Then it's not so neat. Ah well, it's a good thing this board isn't running the good old UBB software.

Glorious, looks like we're finally over our hump. We had an average of 30 people online for almost a year.

There seem to be quite a number of folk who were 'regulars' at superstringtheory.com, and who are now posting regularly here. Some have different names.

I think I was online then during dinner time at school. However I'm running on GMT time, so how many hours behind GMT are you?

Well in that case it was 22:15 where I was and I think I was online then. I came home from Badminton about 21:30 and spent the rest of the night online.
