OCAU Forums Online Users Record

Revision as of 00:28, 16 October 2008

Current record: 'Most users ever online was 1,188, 14th October 2008 at 09:06 PM.'

The current record was set without an organised attempt, it just happened as part of the normal growth of the site. There were quite a few guests browsing at the time (nearly 300) which helped push us over the line.

Records:

• 1188 - 14th October 2008 - Again nothing in particular, people reported Whirlpool slow, perhaps that helped.
• 1167 - ???? September 2008 - Another one due to gradual growth and forum guests
