It´s a major issue now, cause many people think who visit the site see that only +800 have pledged, what HUGE is that ?
Sooner we correct this better!
Well, at least for now maybe it would be possible to manually update the Facebook attendees on the main website every night. Later on we could figure out how to make it update automatically.

The Constitution day money bomb had 1,826 attending and we got 1 million. We already have 2,715 attending for this one.
There is not as strong a correlation between the two as you might think.
The Ready Ames Fire had 4,000 attending and we ended up getting $600,000
HELLO PEOPLE!
Libertarian section has over 37.000 potential donors!
Where are you getting this number? Here is the Constitution Day Money Bomb Event...
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=221373634578417
It shows here we had 3,688 attending.
As I said in the first page of this thread, I believe this was because it was so early in the campaign. It seems that the longer the campaign goes on, the less amount of Facebook attendees it takes to make a significant impact. This would be due to emotional investment in the campaign and the candidate. People simply care more now than they did a couple months ago. It's more important to them, and that emotional investment is only going to get stronger as time goes on.

The birthday money bomb had 7,840 guests and got $2 million![]()
I wish i had a job to pour money into this. AHHHH I wanna help so bad but i feel helpless other then changing a few people opinions on the interwebz, getting the word out and what not.
I've been reworking the original post if you haven't noticed. This is now a three goal challenge. I wanted to add in additional goals because we are too focused on the Facebook event and not about getting pledges for the official website. Here is the paragraph I just added for goal # 2.
GOAL 2: Thousands of Pledges to the Official Website: While I am using the Facebook event as a way to guage support for this money bomb, you must also make it your mission to get as many people as possible to pledge to the official money bomb website at http://www.BlackThisOut.comhttp://www.BlackThisOut.com. It is extremely important that we collect as many email addresses as possible. Using these email addresses, we can coordinate with people already attending the event and give updates to the money bomb, promotion techniques and ways of spreading the message as far as possible. Even if we're able to attain 25,000 Facebook attendees, we'll have no way of communicating directly with them. That's why it's so important to send people to the Facebook event AS WELL AS the official money bomb website so that they can pledge. Another important reason to support the official website is that we'll also be able to use the email list gained from Black This Out and use it to promote the next money bomb on 11/11/11 and then use the combined list to promote 12/16/11, allowing each money bomb a better chance of eclipsing the previous one.
@dusman - I didn't make this video, but just saw it posted on the FB event page, might want to add this to the page as well if you're adding that other one in this thread:
