      I was wondering if it would work to set up certain hours where people would try to be on pop-pop. Sure, it wouldn't get as many people as a tourney would, but it could still get some. I was thinking somewhere around 1-2 hours a day, twice a week. Maybe this is a stupid idea, but I have no idea what time to look for people on here.

    • I can be on after 4 PM, Pacific coast time, pretty much any day of the week.

    • Well, I'm glad that at least one of the 66 people who have viewed this so far has an opinion.

    • ne, pepper-san don't be so sarcastic o_O;

      You have done quite well here - two (counting me) replies in 180 views - the previous topic had a response rate of 1:300 last time I checked. XD

      I must profess to only being online very erratically, but I do check the tracker more often than I check the web-board - having given up on that some time ago. If I see anyone online (which I haven' in something like 3 months now) I will log-on.

      It's a shame - I would stay online in the tracker, but I found that more often than not, pop-pop drops the connection without telling me. Obviously still several bugs in the tracker - but it never was as stable as it was back in the old versions of pop-pop -_-

      I'm thinking of upgrading to a new Intel Mac sometime soon though - but maybe not this year. When I do, that might well be it for me, since pop-pop is not universal ::sniffs:: end of an era, ne? Perhaps Ambrosia (and/or whoever the original author is - Andrew Cambell?) could be persuaded to release the code so nice clever people (with nothing better to do) could fix the bugs and re-release it for the Intel Mac? onegai? ^__^

      As I say though, if I see people online, I'll log in. I tend to check from around 6-7pm GMT onwards to about midnight.

      It occurred to me as I was reading the statistical data that this board seems to collect, that not all the users who read it really are 'users' - for example:

      Quote

      263 guests, 14 members 1 anonymous members

      Ryoko, Google.com, Ask Jeeves, Kinniken, orcaloverbri9, Edwards, WonderBoy, htjyang, Veritus Dartarion, Prince GFono, C14ru5, Rogan, dsaf, HollyWoozle, Modesty Blaise

      I would guess that many of the 'viewers' might end up being "Google.com", "Ask Jeeves", and other such search sites - in other words whatever programs they use to index web pages.

      You see, we're not even as popular as we thought. ^_~

    • 😧

      but there's just one minor problem - there probably won't be anyone online -_-;
