 {{The_Inexistent|samurai='''It was discussed yesterday at the Roundtable that Saturday may not be the most advantagous day to have Roundtables.  It was suggested that it was moved to Friday or Sunday.  Since this is an entire community decision, we didn't want to limit it to the opinions of the editors present yesterday.  Please discuss below what day (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) would be best to host the Roundtables.'''}}

 Also, i highly recommend not having a flashing notice. It's distracting for people and they can find it irritating.}}
+They could just dismiss the site notice.  {{The Inexistentsig}} 00:08, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
+:^That. And the idea is for it to be distracting and irritating, we're trying to get people's attention. --{{User:LegoAlchemist/Sig}} 03:13, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
+{{LapisScarab|time=03:20, 13 August 2011 (UTC)|text=A more prominent reminder the day before the meeting would definitely be helpful. Whether I manage to make the meeting or not, I tend to only barely remember a few hours beforehand that there is one.}}
+{{Bud0011|time=[[User:Bud0011|Bud0011]] 21:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)|text=With the big flashing text, you run the chance of people missing it completely, since many people out there simply close flashing stuff, assuming it is an ad or because it causes them pain (as well as other problems, like headaches and seizures)}}
+{{Chitalian8|time=21:16, 15 August 2011 (UTC)|text= I think it's pretty easy to distinguish a sitenotice from an ad. Plus, its not hard to give whatever you're closing a quick look, long enough to know that it's an ad and not something else.}}
+{{LapisScarab|time=22:31, 15 August 2011 (UTC)|text=Signed-in users (i.e. the people attending the meeting) only have ads on the main page, don't they?}}
+{{ErryTalk|time=01:24, 16 August 2011 (UTC)|edea=And what happens if we go with this "flashing notice" method and still yet again the same result? My opinion is that we've been doing this for a few months and it's been at a static place and a static time: First Saturday at 9PM UTC. And if anyone forgets, they just need to go look at the Roundtable page.
+EDIT: And about the roundtable, I think it should be at least 1 hour earlier, rather than a full day back or forward. That way it's equal.}}
+{{SC|time=01:35, 16 August 2011 (UTC)|text=Moving the 'Table isn't the best idea; ever since school started and I've had marching band practice, I've had no time at all on weekdays for anything besides saxophone, sweating, and homework. People just need to know about them; I'd say bigger sitenotices and talk page pings to the consistently reliable people.
+Also, you guys probably don't care, but I'm almost always on the IRC on the weekdays, and on the off chance that I'm out having a life, I 9 times out of 10 will keep my client on to log. I suggest anybody else who can does this same thing so you can keep up with what happened, even if you weren't there (God/ENUO knows the Roundtable page's summaries don't help for crap...)
+About the actual meeting ''time'', I think its fine where it is...}}
+{{The Inexistent|dusk='''I don't think moving the time of the meeting to an earlier hour would be the best idea...  oh, and I just checked, unless my browser is being glitching again, logged out users can't dismiss the sitenotice.'''}}
+{{LA|Vtext=If we're thinking of moving Roundtable times, can we throw the west-coasties a bone and make it ''later''? It's difficult for them (me included) to plan around the eastern time zones when they have to do everything 2-3+ hours earlier than the rest.}}
+{{neumannz|time=06:40, 17 August 2011 (UTC)|text=I'm not sure how necessary I am to the proceedings, although the fewer the staff members that are present, the more I'd be needed, especially if Kryten and DTN are absent, so here's where I'm at:
+If we stay with Saturdays, I would be able to make it only if it were at night, especially during the summer, when sunset is so late. As we get later into the fall and winter, I'll be able to make earlier and earlier times. Right now I couldn't make it earlier than 9pm, eastern time, but in a few months I may be able to do as early as 6 pm. So yeah, my availability fluctuates.
+Similarly, if we move to fridays, I can currently do late afternoon, maybe early evening, still eastern time, but soon I'd only be able to do early friday afternoons.
+Sunday is still best for me, I don't mind doing it sunday afternoons.}}
+{{Sove|time=08:23, 17 August 2011 (UTC)|roxastalk=Moving it 2-3 hours later would make it way too late for European users who might wish to join in, remember that TNE is from the UK, moving the meeting 2-3 hours would mean 12 AM or 1 AM in the UK. Roundtables are already held so the timing is unfair for us, don't make it even more unfair, we don't deserve it just because we happen to live here. -_-}}
+{{LevL|time=09:12, 17 August 2011 (UTC)|text=I agree with Sove; moving the meeting to a later time would probably cause problems for some European users, so I don't think we should do that. It would be best for me, and most likely for some other users as well, if the meeting was held one hour earlier, so that I can attend it as well.}}
+{{KrytenKoro|Do we have a final decision on this?}}
+{{Chitalian8|time=03:07, 4 September 2011 (UTC)|text= Seems that the general consensus is to leave it as it is, but with a little more notice before it happens.}}
+{{DTN|time=04:39, 4 September 2011 (UTC)|text=Leave it as is. It is the best day for me. Most people have some kind of classes Monday through Friday, and Sunday is a day that a lot of people reserve for church.
