    The most users EVER online
    The most users ever online was 394 on 11-15-2006 at 04:59 PM. Come on, we can do better than this. I want this record shattered. I'm setting the date at:
    June 1st, 2007, at 5:00 PM, EDT.

    BE THERE!

    If you make it 7 PM EDT or later I can do it, otherwise I'll still be in school (I'm on PDT and don't usually get home until about 4 PM PDT).

    Be nice to shatter that record, but that record (i believe) was set by about 60 members online, 50 guests online, and the rest Yahoo! Spider bots...those stupid things run completely over forums....one forum i run is constantly being over run by spider bots :mad:

    I think he means search engine crawlers. Right Nate?

    Re: The most users EVER online
    yes that's another term.

    They're called "Spiders" because...well we're on the "web"...and they crawl from site to site to site to site picking up links....one of the ways search engines rank web sites is by how many web sites are linked to it. The more web sites that are linked to one web site, the more legitimate it probably is.

    Google bots will usually have one or two on forums at once...but Yahoo! has a bajillion. It was a while back when that record was set and if memory serves, Matt (Smulkin) blocked like one IP address and they ALL left....so no there was never ~400 unique users online at the same time....damn..bubble buster :oops:

    Re: The most users EVER online
    I've never seen more than 100 users logged in at the same time. of course, you don't have to be a member to browse, so there's always a lot of guests just browsing around reading up.
