Finished the massive update today, finally. Secured the forums a little bit more and finished the Guinness part of the website. That part of the site gives you the full overview of the whole Guinness fiasco. I am also looking for a forum moderator and we are looking into t-shirts!

Haven't updated in a very long time. Let's see...Did anything cool happen? I don't know...Was it that one thing? Hmm...Nooo... How about that other thing? Noo...OH WAIT I REMEMBER! Here's what's happened lately:
On Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 7:00 P.M. in the Grand ABC Ballroom (3rd floor) at the Sheraton, Dragon*Con attempted to beat the Guinness World Record™ for the amount of people simultaneously dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in a single location! Believe it or not, we had 903 dancers join us in what will soon become (hopefully/possibly) an annual event at Dragon*Con! (Fingers crossed!)
August
15, 2009 - As of today
at 9:00 A.M., we have already exceeded the amount of people needed to
break the current
Guinness World Record™! (Assuming all who have signed the "Pledge
to
Participate" will indeed participate.) So far, 255
people have signed the
pledge, surpassing the 242 participants by William and Mary College who
hold the current
record. Our goal is to double their record and have atleast 500
participants or more! We
have 1,000 ribbons for this event, so there's no reason to stop at 500!
Let's give away
all 1,000 of those ribbons! Not only that, but less than a week before
our record attempt,
a city in Mexico plans to beat the same record before we do. We can't
let this happen!
Don't stop recruiting!
August 9, 2009 - The site has
been operational 18 days and we've had over
4,200 hits and over 200 users in the forums, with 181 people officially
signing the "Pledge
to
Participate"! With 181 people officially signed up
and 25 days remaining
before the convention, we are sure to beat the Guinness World Record™!
We have made
many, many updates to the site and forums in the past couple of weeks
including: adding a FAQ
section, adding News
section, adding a Press
section, updating the volunteers,
updating the Participation
Checklist, and the Official
Release Form!
