I was looking at the bottom of the forum index where it says "Who Is Online" and I saw where it says "The most users ever online was 129 on Tue Apr 11, 2006 2:48 pm" and I thought just 129? We have 9,547registered users and that would leave 9,418 not online! I know that things come up sometimes, but how many of you want to beat that record? Say I!
You never know someone might find this forum one day and make it the most active forum on Earth! Not that we would have any compition on any other planet.

I'm lost. I've gone to look for myself. If I get back before I arrive, please ask me to wait until I return.

We just tried this a month ago, ain't gonna happen. That number was due to a glitch in the board system. Nice thought though.

Jdl96, we don't about 9 thousand proper users. I'm pretty sure that more than a thousand of our members are just be spambots.
How sure can you be that having 129 users on at once was a glitch? Forums can have hundreds of registered users on at the same time, if not thousands.
Most active forum? Then look
here.
There are forums with literally hundreds of millions of posts, and millions of users.

Not this one. Although this forum is popular. It isn't THAT popular. We rarely get more than 20 users online at the same time. TTC forum always have more than 30 users online and new posts are being made every minute.
It was a glitch, I am 100% sure that it was just a glitch.

I'm not "100% sure" but there IS AN EXPLANATION here that made total sense to
me if you'd care to read it

Again, great thought I just hate to see y'all disappointed after the fiasco last time.

But it's theoretically possible for this forum to beat the record. Of course, it's extremely unlikely, because there are few active users in this forum. That shows there wouldn't be many guests either. Yes, I have to admit, it could have been a glitch, but didn't this 129 record happen when the forum 'got up' again?
This forum will never be as large as the forums on big-boards.

Thank goodness for that! Quantity versus quality! I know which I prefer! If you want big - then you know where the door is!

You'll have to look back further than the old "Breaking Record" topic for proof... way further back than that... Whee...
Ooh I found something

Dlcs18, you're living in the past!
Well, that is more evidence of a bug. It IS unlikely that we'd have that many people on at the same time.
