Where were you when this happened:

Most users ever online on a day was 1108 on 21-02-2003
I was right here!

A testament to how good the forums are perhaps?

Not only that, but it is pretty fast, too. (For me at least.)

I've had to logon twice today. Does this count me as 2 users or 1?

ACK!

I had checked there just a minute ago and that information wasn't displayed (nor was the active users online now and the birthday list) but when you mentioned it I rechecked and sure enough it reappeared. Is that because Markos was working on it or did my comp not generate the page completely?

It's part of the anti-server load measures, I believe. Too much load and it won't show up from the server.

ACK!

Is that better than the accidentally delted numbers from the time that Civ III was released?

If so- good work Mark and Dan! Especially on the updated, better servers!

I'm actually suprised at how often I am right in the A/C forum.

But that has a lot to do with the fact that some of these questions have been asked by me already, and the rest, I just kind of pay attention to the other threads.

ACK!
