GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Stang2Vibe's research shows that the genvibe.com forums opened for business on 1 April 2002. see http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=3191The forums' second birthday's coming up, will be Thursday, 1 April 2004.Let's have an online birthday party,It would be interesting to see how many people we can get to show up in "active users", get as many people to log in on 4/1/2004 at the same time. (you show up in active users if you are logged in and read a post or forum index. )The poll below is to see if there is any particular time of day that is best for us to all try to be here together at the same time. vote if there is any particular time of day when you can be here, add an option if your preference isn't there yet.will probably also start a birthday thread that day too, to consolidate any birthday sentiments, maybe work as a sort of genvibe roll call tooIf you're a member, please plan on logging on and participating that day, if you're a lurker,it would be a great day to finally sign up and say hiAdmins - not trying to do a stress test on the server, speak up if this is a bad idea.:drink;

I can log in anytime between 8 am (EST) and 5 pm (EST).

Im logged on all day then go home and log on again. Log off on times when boss walks around but other than that online mostly all day.

i vote for eves because i'm 4 hrs behind EST and 1 hr behind PAC

I can participate just about any time that day except from about 3:15PM to 9:30 PM EST. I will be gone for work during that time and I don't have access to a computer at work. I have class during the afternoon that day, but it is a computer class and I will be in the computer lab with internet access, so I could still be in on it. If it is earlier in the morning, I will set my alarm early and wake up to log in.

An excellent inference based upon the resultant data that came to light from my long hours spent in the laboratory about one year ago to make that determination. > LOL

I may not stay online for 24 hrs, but I will attend.

I can be there at any named time. Just have to let me know.

I was asked to come back to the forums to say "hi" by a member yesterday since I signed on as one of the early members (actually, I signed on 4/1/01) and the 2 year anniversary was coming around. I thought this was as good of a post as any to say hi!To get everyone to log on for April Fools day is a cool idea. Since it will be tough for everyone to sign on at the exact same time, you could also start a thread that day and have people post into it, thereby signing "Happy Birthday" to the forum as they have time. You could still shoot for as many people logged in as possible at a certain time, but this way everyone could take part!

It would be alot cooler if there was a chat room attached to the board...but yeah, anytime in the day is good. (provided I still have this job)Desi

that was me (mea culpa) Thanks for coming back there will be a birthday thread that day, that will have to do for a brthday chat room, I ran a test this past weekend and saw over 190 different users logged on over a three day period, so hopefully we can get a good turnout on 4/1

If everyone had AOL Instant Message we can all hop in on a group chat. I can start if you guys would like. Just add me to your list.If you guys do decide to do this. All you'd have to do is add me and I'll except you into the chat with everyone else. There you can add all your freinds to your list.

I just created a java chat room for the birthday.Give it a try and let me know if you like it. Genvibe 2nd Birthday Chat

ok, sounds good. I'm just getting a red X tho...

you probably need to update your java.http://java.sun.com/

Thanks for the invite back. Its always fun to look around and see whats going on in some other forum! Its hard to believe its been nearly 2 years of the Vibe forum, and Vibes in general already! This site appears to be doing very well too! Congrats on the great site!!

Welcome back. I see you was one of the very first members to join the site. Wow, #6.

We'll have to see how the whole 'chat room' works during that time period. If it goes well, I'll look into getting this installed on the GenVibe servers for future uses.

hey, very cool! we have a chat room for us now! lol. but no one else is in it?

no, there are 2 other people here: me and myself! lol

it has audio emoticons! very fun!

It requires a username and password to login. How do I get in?Very cool idea, BTW!

no you just type in your user name and that's it

oh cool! I didn't try it, I figured that I didn't have an approved username. Thanks Hope!

Gotcha.

for official record keeping stuff, what time zone does genvibe think it is? I have my profile set to display tiems as Eastern Time, but for seeing who logs in on the actual 4/1 anniversary, what is the official time zone?

I have my profile set to display tiems as Eastern Time, but for seeing who logs in on the actual 4/1 anniversary, what is the official time zone?If not configured by the user, Eastern time zone is configured to be default on the forum.To test, you can log out and go into the forums. Look at the Active Topics area and compare to your time. I verified this in the forum settings and also logged out, cleared cookies, etc. and it still reflected Eastern time as configured.

I see we picked up a "this is a lame idea" vote, but that's cool, I put that in as one of the predefined poll options when I started the post,

Hey that chat room is so empty when I talked it echoed!!

same here...i go to the chat room all the time, no one is EVER in there!

Quote, originally posted by ragingfish »same here...i go to the chat room all the time, no one is EVER in there!I will create a new post for it.

not many people even know about it, so prob a good idea to add taht out.

Now that my ******* of a boss cancelled my going to a meeting at the end of March - first part of April, I will be chained to my desk, as per usual. So, I'll be able to log in here, there and everywhere whenever you want!!

under 3 weeks to go51 of the 1700+ members have voted ~3% looks like we should probably shoot for three sessionsgenvibe default time is in Eastern Standard Time other time zones, you know how to convert11 AM, 4 PM, 10 PM ESTHow's that sound?if you can, try to log in and at least view a thread within 15 minutes of the timethere will be a 2nd birthday thread, be sure to post in it on 4/1who's gonna bring the cake?

fantastic idea w/ the 3 sessions! i know i can handle the 11pm est! possibly even the 4pm est... but 11 am will be tough!

I'll try and be logged into the chat when I can...

Let me know, I can get here.

I like the graphic on the home page And, an official limited time only genvibe 2nd birthday chat room

one week and counting ....

I'll be there

Since when is surfing on genvibe taxing? You can relax while being online.

Tomorrow is the big day! So I thought I would kick this back up to the top!

On 4/1/2004, post a toast to genvibe in http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=9144

alright! tomorrow's the big day!

Quote, originally posted by joatmon »UNACCEPTABLE"relax" some other time. That really is unacceptable! Rob, I'll make an early drive up there to Michigan to slap you around a bit if you can't even take 30 seconds to log in! j/k, bud, but I do hope you'll just take a minute to log in and at least say hi.
