KatKwery begins today but first you must answer a simple question. Have you ever noticed that some days there are a lot more people on The Cat Site than others?
What is the date that the most users ever were on The Cat Site?_______________.

That is the correct answer!!! Sometimes the things that are so obvious to some people are the killers for others. But there the answer is, click Cat Forums and there the answer is at the bottom of the page. 2000 points to you.

KatKwery
KatKwery has no definate ending time. It ends when the next KatKwiz begins. It is meant as a forum to discuss the KatKwiz question of the day. The Kats have already picked the secret word and it is in a sealed envelope to only be opened when tomorrow's KatKwiz is given. Here is today's Cat Query. Don't forget, at times I may join in on the forum and may even use the secret word, but I don't get any points!

Why do you think this particular day had more online users than any other day?

This one is one of those ones that are so obvious they are hard to others. Perhaps I should save this one for a KatKwiz question. Or perhaps I should just tell you to go to User CP, Edit Options and then Date & Time Options. And now so the KatKwery question does not get lost:

June 21st, perhaps it was the busiest because of the first day of summer. School's out? Summer solstice maybe?

Hmmm... gonna have to think about this one.

I'll have to go back and see if there any hot topics that day. Or maybe the board had gone down for a while prior to that date and that was the first day it was back in business...that would cause a flood of people trying to catch up on things.

Maybe a lot of people joined right around that time. Plus it's the first day of summer.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe there was something like KatKwiz going on that was paying out a zillion points. That should easily be verified.

I seen quite a few joined in May and June of 05. Maybe TCS did some advertising and got a lot of people that day.
I know the same question was asked on May 11 08 but nobody posted why they thought there were so many users on that day.

Because it was 1pm your time and 12pm someone else's time - it is all relative to where you live

I just spent the last hour+ reading through June 2005 posts - one thing - it was fun seeing some of the members then that are still active today. I looked to see if there was a special contest, or maybe some sort of E-party (virtual party) but heck if I can find a reason. I did read about the big crash, though - lol - for those of you that affected, sorry for the flashback guys.

The first day of summer is the fist thing that pops in my mind, but why 2005 and not the year after that, or the year after that??

I even thought maybe someone was having surgery that day or had a baby. I dont know... I know this question was asked before but no one answered it. I know my curiosity is piqued! And you know what they say about that...

Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

It's currently 10:39 p.m. here, but another time will show up on your computer for my post, because of the difference in time zones.

Which is why I keep repeating that my quizzes are posted according to GMT, which I directed you to earlier. Do you know when the new day GMT begins where you are? That's when you could see the next KatKwiz.

Getting back to KatKwery, I went here to look:

Pretty darn silly, huh?

I know! I know! June 21 is the longest day of the year so would it not make sense if this day is longer that more people would be on The Cat Site on that day?
No, OK, what's your answer, then?

BTW, the next KatKwiz can be posted in less than one hour from now since I am in the -6 GMT. It is now 11:21 GMT.

I predict it will. All we all have to do is drive more cat lovers to this site.

Yeah it would make sense because june 21 is the longest day of the year. Oh and kids are probably out of school. Course I don't think too many kids would be on The Cat Site. Wow, I can't belive it's almost midnight in Texas. It's going on seven here.
