Title: I am just curious
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on August 19, 2006, 10:26:06 PM
I noticed on the forum it states that on Mon November 01, 2004 there were 1383 registered users on during that time. Was there anything significance to that date that caused such a swarm of people?

I've been wondering that for a while as well.  But i do  know that someone already made a topic on it a few months back.  No-one actually gave an answer though.

It's a mystery to me. I guess it was a server bug or a visit from slashdot or something.

I always thought it was just a redo of the forum and the administrator had to have all the current members at the time logged in to get stuff straightenned out.  I've been wondering that to.

But I think consumers were very excited and they got worn down waiting
Boy if they noticed this back in 2004 you think they learn from their mistakes.

It's most likely a glitch from a server/forum reset. Something happened in the database, like a software update.

I have the hunch that peak days at forums are usually DoS attacks.
