OCAU Forums Online Users Record

Revision as of 21:44, 27 February 2007

Current record: Most users ever online was 1059 on 6th March 2006 at 09:21 PM

This new record was achieved in an attempt both break the 1000+ users online mark and give the new database server BBQ - which replaced Pie - a decent workout.

A screen capture of the forums hitting 1000 users for the first time.

A screen capture from the database stresstest.

The 1000+ users thread also probably set a record for fastest growing thread with just under 500 posts from 8-9PM AEST.

There will be another attempt to break the record on Tuesday the 27th of February 2007, information on this can be found here
