The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Lot Of People on today

Unfortunately, 3 is a lot to ask for, and I have to go in about 5 minutes.  I'm still at school and I have a class at 3 (about 10 minutes)

I'd almost say it would take a miracle to have that many on at one time considering how much we all have going on during the days.

That, and the fact that we're all over the world.  By the time I'm off school, most of the Europeans are thinking about going to bed.  Heck, I've seen Malte come on after going to bed and getting up again, whereas I still haven't gotten to bed yet :p

True Rr, but I'd really really like to get that number off the books. That was the day we were attacked by spammers.

From what I saw, the current record is 17. It was made on January 24, nearly two months ago.

I seem to recall last year's record was 36, made sometime at the end of August. I'm not sure if this is correct, though.

Is there an all-time record for most users online, as in ever since this site was created? Also, i do hope we can break the record, it seems we get close, but it never happens in the end. :(

Maybe soon since we seem to have had many new members starting a few months after I did then the month after I did.  It seems to have sped up.

That one thirty something number was recorded with spambots....we didn't have that many daily active members at the time.  This one set a couple of months ago is indeed accurate.

Enough to actually organise a time when everyone agrees to come online? Heh.

Hard to do since the members are scattered all over the world.
