MacGyver Online is once again gearing up in preparation for their annual “MacGyver Cyber-meet” to be  held later this month. The meeting is held in their online chat room on the 29th of September to celebrate the original air-date of the pilot episode of MacGyver and runs for a full 24 hours  meaning that no mater where in the world a fan might live, they have the chance to join in and chat in real time with other fans of the show.

The idea of having an annual “major” online gathering was conceived in 2005 as a way of marking the 20th anniversary of MacGyver’s television premier.
“We wanted an easy way for fans from around the world to be able to gather at the same time and talk to each other on this particular date.” Says site owner Rocky. “An online chat room was really the only viable way that this could be achieved.”
Since then the so called “Cyber-meet” has become one of the main events in the MacGyver fans calendar with a lot of positive feedback from the fans each year.

This year will mark the 5th year the online celebration has been held and the fans will have a couple of burning topics to inspire their discussions. The disappointing lack of progress from the MacGyver movie announced earlier in the year and the converse hyper-activity surrounding the production of the MacGruber movie should provide an unyielding supply of discussion material.

Anyone wishing to take part is encouraged by the MacGyver Online team to visit the chat room at least a few days before the event to make sure the Java based  software is working correctly with their web browser and any problems can be sorted before the event date.
