Maybe everyone should PM ten members who's been offline for a while. You could write your message along these lines:
 
Hi/Hello, [reciver's username]. How are you? The reason I'm sending this message regarding Formiculture is because we(the members of formiculture) hope to break our forum's record, the record of most memebers visited in one day. And bring back people who's been offline for a long time. Every member counts, and we hope you will consider this. The date we have decided on is formiculture's birthday, September 10th. We do not have a set time of day, but we will message you further details if your interested. Here is the link to the post about it if your interested: https://www.formicul...t-a-new-record/

I just thought of something, we might need a backup date if we can’t break the record on FC’s birthday. We should come up with a new date.

Just to confirm, it is September 10th we log on, correct? Any time during that day works? 

If so, I will mark my calendar and be on it! 

 

I just thought of something, we might need a backup date if we can’t break the record on FC’s birthday. We should come up with a new date.

 

Agreed, we should come up with a back-up date, although I think it should be alright for the majority of people, who have had enough warning from the past month or so. Any suggestions for the back-up?


Currently raising: 

Myrmica Rubra (1 queen +  ~5 workers)

Lasius Niger (single queen + ~90+ workers)

Lasius Neoniger (two single queen + brood)

Formica spp. (Queen [likely parasitic, needs brood])

Also keeping a friend's tetramorium immigrans for the foreseeable future. Thanks CoffeBlock!
