| 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.

I still stand by Friday.

If you ask me, I think lack of attendance at the Roundtables is because people don't know that they're being held. I propose a big sitenotice -- a BIG sitenotice -- that lets people know when the next roundtable is. And when the date to hold the roundtable draws near, it can be in like flashing text: THE ROUNDTABLE ON THE IRC IS TOMORROW SHOW UP PLZ. The reason I didn't attend the last few is simply because I forgot about them. (plus that, my schedule the past few weeks has been PACKED, I've had rarely any time for the wiki/IRC)
I completely agree with Lego. I've been to maybe one Roundtable, because I don't know the Roundtable actually happens on that day until it ends. Also, I have no clue how to convert EST to UTC...

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.
