Wasn't the record for the most online users up to like 49 at one time? Now it's down to 23, or something like that.

yerssot
47, and the database got reseted

ToMacco
reset. . . .not reseted.

Raz
ToMacco, the new english teacher? laughing out loud

About the online users, I reset it myself.

LanceWindu
Why is that???

ToMacco
Just to piss you off, Lance. Did it work?

Raz
Because it wasn't 'accurate'. No-one here remembers being here when that record was broken.

yerssot
Q: if you open a link on the forum in a new browser, does that count as a new member? 'cause that will explain things

Raz
Nope, the forum checks for browser versions, cookies and IP addresses to determine if its a new user or the same one.

Ushgarak
I guess it could be beaten if you worked at it but who the heck would bother?

yerssot
36? who was on?

Raz
They were Google 'bots'.

yerssot

Raz
Google (http://www.google.com) sends out bots (robots) to find sites to put in its search engine.

On that day it send 36 different bots to this forum, going through all 180,000+ posts.

Raz
They're at it again! This time, AltaVistas 'bots have joined in!
