    I used to do several days straight when I was a teenager. Can't stay awake for much more than 24 hours now, even if I really try.

    If it's not kicking, it's whoever isn't there's fault.

    I did some recreational all-nighters with friends as a kid, including one time staying up over 40 hours. I have no idea how, as there's no way I could do that now -- or even be willing to try. I did another only because I couldn't sleep on the plane to France, so effectively lost a night.

    I never was forced to pull an all-nighter for school/work until law school, where I did it twice for different projects/assignments. It is unlikely to ever happen again.

    When I discovered eoff, no joke, I was once up for 3 days.

    :I Then I got banned and went to sleep

    Depends how technical you want to get. I have stayed up all night a few times (in fact quite recently in my third-of-a-life crisis reliving my late teens & early 20s with a bunch of students on Brony sites ) but ended up sleeping for much of the day afterwards so.... depends how you look at it. Similarly, I've caught some early flights for holidays and ended up pulling an all-nighter that way but ended up crashing out in the apartment for a good few hours at the other end.

    If people would listen to me when I say it's time for a party then maybe it wouldn't be!!!

    How about this Saturday at 11:00PM (GMT). We all mass gather like it's 1996; Internet Relay-stylee. Anyone who is anyone will still be awake after 11pm in Europe , and those in the Americas...you're just over the time threshold to start the consumption of alcohol without having group therapy mentioned to you by a family member in earnest concern.

    11pm on Saturday sounds good. If you want an extra incentive to make an appearance, I'm going to be making a big reveal on Chat!

    Curses! That timing. I'll be at an Elite meetup getting drunk and stuff

    Ahhh I remember the long and lively IRC sessions back in 2000 or so, it used to get really busy! It's hard to get that kind of number together in one live thingy these days, even on Skype groups.
