Summer Vacation Party Results & A Lesson Learned

(I know I really should be posting this on the other thread but the lesson is too valuable)

So, the Summer Vacation Party was a Success!!! Even though in the end 4 users were there completely, the amount of entertainment we got was priceless.

LIST OF PEOPLE WHO CAME ON JULY 1, 2013,

1. King Kane (Host)
2. Ccpenguin8
3. totelyawsome
4. icemann2000
5. jorsnape (Had to leave early)

I hope more people can come to future parties!

Now what is the lesson?

We have to look back to these posts from my "More Parties" thread.

Gotchee wrote:Bad idea. The forum doesn't gain activity on the summer, because most people " including me " go on holiday. Also, people can't even go to parties due to different time zones, so the more parties idea sounds kinda bad to me, no offence.

Ccpenguin8 wrote:Nice idea, but I don't know if it will work. At peak times, we only usually get 3 people attending parties. In fact, twice nobody came at all, despite heavy advertising of the official parties thread we used to have.

Gotchee, sadly, is right. Because of time zones it's really complicated. The staff have tried to arrange them with little success, but you can always make unofficial parties if you want.

As for the 1st Anniversary - I don't know anything more about that than you do. Sindar says on CPB he's making a month of fun and Maygirl might be planning something (I just don't know). I expect we'll have some form of party for the 1st Anniversary...again, I can't be sure.

It's a shame, I know, but that's the way it is.

Hope this answers your question,

We actually broke the time zone barrier. Looking back, I saw there was an attendance of 0 at some parties. This party marked a new age of parties. I now hope there will be Official CPF Parties now.
