Most users ever online

Post by professor »

Ok this might be the dumbest post ever, but I think we should try and break our "most users ever online" record.

We should set a date and time period where everyone should log in. See how many people we can get online at once.

Anyone with me or do you think it would be too hard to do?

Thoughts, opinions, etc.

No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.

And with over 1000 people registered we could only get 70 people to get online at once?!? Man, that's rough. Maybe we could do better this try. Maybe not.

It's worth a try. :)

The problem is that, although there's over 1000 people regestered, you'd be lucky if 100 are active posters. Many of those accounts won't have been touched in years. Others... people regestering under a number of different names because they can't remember their password or something like that.

70 people is a big number!

But it's still beatable.

Actually most of thoes 70 people were guest- not regestered user. I remenber being there when the record was broken.

Littleboyfootbag tried to do this a while back I believe. He set the date on chirstmas so we had little turn out.

I was breaking the new record too.

It's really hard to do a new one because of the time zones.
