Sleeping...it was the middle of the night where I'm at, and Mondays always start out too early for me. If only the announcement had come 24 hours earlier, I would've been able to stay up!

I went on vacation for the past 3 weeks and got back one week before. I totally forgot about STO before browsing my bookmarks looking for something to delete and saw STO again =D I nearly had a heart attack

Sitting at my computer. I actually forgot about the timer and went to sleep my computer and noticed there was 4 minutes left. Then I counted.

Was on vacation and refreshed whenever I was in the room with my laptop and had some free browsing time, was there with a glass of coke and a hamburger when the site crashed and came back up but waited until I got back to sign up here on my home computer.
...
Mostly because my gmail password is auto-set on firefox and I can't remember it otherwise. :p

Another person sleeping while history was being made! Seem like there was enough of us online though by the activity on the boards.

To be honest I had completely fogotten about the timer, but freaked out (positively ;)) when I saw the announcement in the MMORPG.com newsletter.

Hosting Hailing Frequency Live! We had done all day coverage of the event and had some great celebrity guests like Rick Sternbach and Derek Chester! Also some of the big community leaders and modders were there with us: Lotus Fleet, CUGS, Chris Jones Gaming, Mindwipe Studios, Dynaverse, Warcry...
It was a hoot.

Me too. I was trying to listen to the STO zone podcast earlier that night, but too many people were trying to listen and my connection was lost. I turned to Hailing Frequency after that. I loved that it said, "Launch Time!" when the countdown hit zero! I was so glad this website was relaunched, too.
All I asked for, when the countdown hit zero, was for a forum, some screenshots, and an official announcement/statement. I got what I wanted!

I was on the Champions Online website watching the clock count down to zero at 3:00 am. Then I went to a link on the site that led me to this weirda** version of "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe that disappeared after I finished reading it and closed the window out.
Did anyone else see that?
