Set a date and time to get everyone here!

**keith** · 05-04-2007, 08:27 AM

Set a date for an ALL MEMBER push to get on theBubbler! I'm ready.

We've been talking in another thread about trying to eclipse our all time high of 403 Members on theBubbler at the same time in March of last year.

We're ready to give it a try and see if we can get a TON of folks online at the same time. I think 500 is a good goal. What do you think?

OK! Now, I think we should set a date and a time (or two times). Our natural peaks are often weekday mornings, again around lunchtime and again early evening. Sunday mornings, too. Never can tell. Seems we peak later in the evening when the weathers nice and anytime of day and any day of the week when the weather is awful.

I think we should avoid the first few weekends in June because of theBubbler.com camping trip and because of graduations.

Weekday or weekend? Time or times? Whatchya think?

Regards,
Keith

OK ~ here's the initial brainstorm list of ways to promote getting a record number of people here:

1. All-Member Water Cooler News Special Alert
2. All-Member guest book signing to get everyone here (we can automate that I believe).
3. Ask Everyone in above stuff to 'Tell-A-Friend' (19 times) to come that day, as a guest or a Member.
4. Ask all Mods to be 'on deck' to greet new Forum Posters and guestbooks to invite them to Forums.
5. WisEvents postings!!
6. A free classified posting
7. A Forum Announcement
8. An All-Member Private Message ?

We'll need to remind everyone to click on something every 5 minutes so they're noted as 'logged in'.

I think it would be nice to direct people here to the Forums to introduce themselves and to join a thread saying they were here for the RECORD.

Other ideas?

Keith

All would work...
Which is going to get all members onboard at the same time?
Can the server handle a mass migration at a particular time...'
Maybe if we tell members that we're trying to "Crash" theBubbler! 8O

"Crash the Crash Party!"

Yep.

I think you could kill two birds with one stone with this idea. It will take some time to set up, but you could get a record number of members and a record number of members online at one time. First, set a date and time to try for the record. Second, send all members a message telling them to invite as many people as they can to join on the same day, say one hour earlier than the record attempt. Then have everyone stay around to set the record!! I don't know if this has any legs at all, but it's a thought.

Mass email everyone and tell them if they are part of the Mass Log On, they can win a prize from the Bubbler store.

Free SWAG always gets attention,, even if it is just a coffee mug.

Count me in, of course I think some days I stay logged on and don't realize it LOL

there has been times I log in late at night and fall asleep trying to post something. I wake up sometimes an hour or two later and it looks like I've been on the whole time! lol

I think this is an excellent idea. Everyone that logs on during the time listed will have their name put in the drawing for a mug! I would use a mug that says the bubbler!

So Keith, pick a day and let's do it! lol

on the big day!

**MrKhay** · 07-08-2007, 01:39 PM

Any decision made on this plan, yet? That 526 record will be something to break. We can do it!

pk · 07-08-2007, 08:51 PM

Let's do it. We need to have 1000 for the new high record! lol

Love the enthusiasm, friends!

How about after back to school so we can focus on the new theBubbler being up?

No idea where 500+ came from ~ definitely looking forward to a THOUSAND!

Keith

Let's Crash this party what's the date dudes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :wink: 8) :P

pk · 07-15-2007, 02:49 PM

Let me know...I'll be there!

1,000 here we come! :lol:

8O :lol:

Please, for my peace of mind, wait for the new site. This one is liable to crash and burn (which means I get lots of support calls from confused people) if you get more than five hundred people on it simultaneously! New one is much more robust.

:P :lol:
