Most people online... 270?
« on: August 11, 2009, 02:53:19 PM »
I noticed the most people online jumped from 80 to 150 today... Is that real? What happened? Does this have to do with the Ennies? (I voted! :P )

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks

To me, it felt like some kind of attack, 'cause it was sudden... (I was on when it happened), and it was mostly Guests...

It could be, and it would make sense.  World's worst DoS? :p

I joined today because of the Ennies, I have been working though the archive and didn't know there was a forum until now.

Ok... wtf, 270 now? Is this real? I saw it up to 99 at the most while I was online yesterday.

An hour and a half after the supposed 270, I noticed it and there were only between 80 and 90 people online then, so it can't be real.
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Is it entirely possible were getting more traffic because people are super pissed about the new Wizards 'forums'.

Yes, but why would it jump from around 100 to 270 over a very short period of time? I was online most of the day that day, and I never saw it go above 99.
