Results of Record Attempt (23 Comments) (link)
 Wednesday, 28-February-2007  06:03:53 (GMT +10) - by Rational

Last night's record attempt was met with mixed success however ultimately the record was broken with 1100 users online, 41 more than the previous record.

The forums were slowing down painfully as the users increased and the most people I saw online was 956 before BBQ - OCAU's database server seemed to fall off the face of the earth. We were met with forum timeouts and the news page was seriously broken but still in a state of working as the webserver was still running.

Because of OCAU's outage a lot of people flooded into the IRC channel where Sciby and other ops had a lot of fun kicking and banning those who stated the bleeding obvious that OCAU was down which provided humour for all not being kicked.

As I went to sleep around 9:30pm I think the forums went online a little while later as Agg scrambled together a fix of some description and because people was started to go in OCAU withdrawal everyone just swamped the forums resulting in the users jumping to 1100 exactly - around 150 more than when BBQ died.

The final screenshot can be found in the here and the wiki article concerning that is here.
