OT: Forum statistics

[byzantium]

Sorry for this, but curiosity is killing me; what happened on on 07-07-2003 at 02:45 PM?

On the start page of this forum it says that "Most users ever online was 59 on 07-07-2003 at 02:45 PM."

59 !!

I check here almost every day (also when it's prime time in N. America) and I think there have not been more people on the forum on-line than five. (and the previous record was significantly lower)

Was Auralmoon mentioned in the CNN news, or what happened?

I've wondered that, too. I was here very shortly after the peak, when it was still in the upper 50's, and I believe there were only two or three members present. all the rest were guests. I've heard of some strange AOL looping cookie thing that can happen, so I wonder about that. interestingly, no one joined AM on that day, and only three people have joined since...

maybe the mods were just having fun playing with the numbers!!

Seven or eight people with multiple personalities could have been logged in - I know that I'm good for at least five or six.
