semaja2.net Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 i got a great idea lets set a date for everybody to go online so the online meter jumps to the top like anything any ideas on what day it should be or do yous think its a crap idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVO VIII Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 im up for it but i think the logistics of everyone going online at the same time would be hard to figure out because of the various time zone differences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semaja2.net Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 yeh thats why we need to seta time plus convert it so they all match up the max online list now is like 1000 let make it like 40000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semaja2.net Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 also it would be great if neowins admin sent out a newsletter saying the time to be online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwBen Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 yeh, just use the newsletter feature in Invision.. I think it would be a good idea, but might weigh down the server a tiny bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark03 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 i think this is a totally useless idea. online meters are used for statistically analysing web usage, not for looking at stats to see when everyone goes online because of a set date/time. bascially, what's the point?

MxxCon Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 how about no. another spammer tried to do that and thread got locked. why don't you do something productive instead of pointlessly waste system resources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpu killer Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 lol, depending on how strong the neowin server, this could probly bring it to its knees.. Anyways, lets try :). Gonna be kinda hard to get everyone online at X time tho.. BTW @ h99120351: neowin is powered by invision :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwBen Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 BTW @ h99120351: neowin is powered by invision :). I know, thats why I said "yeh, just use the newsletter feature in Invision" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snippet1 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I know, thats why I said "yeh, just use the newsletter feature in Invision" ;) Come to think of it - a regular Neowin newsletter would be good. It might help to get the 50-odd% of members on Neowin a bit more :/. /edit: BTW, the all-online idea proves little but the server capability.

trix Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 its ur evil plan to take down the neowin server so you can advertise your own site while its crumbeling isnt it?!?! well count me in :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ timko ] Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 It's gonna be tricky getting everyone on at roughly the same time but I'm for it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted January 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 18, 2004 online meters are used for statistically analysing web usage, not for looking at stats to see when everyone goes online because of a set date/time. bascially, what's the point?

snippet1 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Gonna have to go with that :/ I think he's referring to the 'users online' thing in IPB/forum stuff. This wouls show on BigBoards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackice912 Veteran Posted January 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 18, 2004 Come to think of it - a regular Neowin newsletter would be good. If Neowin had a newsletter, I'd love to contribute to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason the Eighty Eighth Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 everyone being online would clog up the servers to a point Neowin would be utterly slow as hell. the point for those who don't understand is to set a record. are you going to start questioning the point of setting a record? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonaut Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 ridiculous idea, it will disrupt the service, ppl willl get "the server is too busy", this suggestion amounts to a "voluntary DOS attack" Someone lock this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semaja2.net Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 ok it is ment to set a record i dont really want any harm done on neowin.net but i reckon if every body can do it we could even get neowin.net in the guiness book of records it would make this forum great think about it a whole community online at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Atlantis Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Why set a record? What record? The record to get everyone on at the same time? That's lame. It's not really a good acheivement. Wow, you got thousands of people to obey your orders. If it did happen, it wouldn't have been a record, it was set. D'oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
