    Sounds like a glitch to me...mind you, we have over 2000 users so it technically is possible.

    Out of interest, does this include non-registered users?

    'Cos today I counted 13 Yahoo slurp spiders and one Google spider on the site...

    In that thing you call a closet. Better watch out,
    Yeah, all the guests count. For the 114 users, I remember it was like 60 some guests, 50 some actual members. Anyways, there has to be something wrong. That many guests and members at the same time, that's odd.

    Indeed. Was anyone online when it happened? They'd be able to tell us.

    Also, if there were that many members and guests, we would have a bunch of new posts. Only a few topics were updated.

    Wishful thinking, no way in hell it would be that many people online. Rostam is right, there should have been a flod of new posts.

    I assume this has to do with the way the time system is skewed. I'm reading a reply from 05:40, 5 hours in the future. As such, my post will be ordered in front of it...

    But, I guess if I changed my time zone I might get to post further in the future than him ... anyway, I hope it will clear up soon...

    No, this was a problem with CPanel's NTP servers...they set the time forward 12 hours accidentally and messed up a lot of things.

    Can't say I've played either, but maybe I'll go out and rent them seeing how you two think so highly of them.

    The "579 users" was a glitch after all -- but 122 is still better than the previous record (114)!

    Yeah bit of a bump... well big bump but still no point opening a new thread for this.

    Most users ever online was 410, 02-04-2007 at 10:56 AM.

    Now thats a big jump from

    Most users ever online was 152, 20-11-2006 at 08:05 PM.

    But maybe it was a glitch like we had that gave us

    Most users ever online was 579, 10-29-2006 at 05:01 AM.

    Or maybe a lot of people came into vote. Was anyone around then? A lot in IRC maybe?

    I was around and looked at the first pages of the 'Who's Online' list. There were, dunno, about 30+ members, and the rest guests and bots.

    The problem might be a bot which uses several ip while browsing the site, like the Web-Archive and the large search engines.
