    I think it was a glitch, if I remember correctly the server was screwy and it showed way more members than there actually were.

    The Ciddies were in June and it seems no official awards were going on in May. However, I did find this: http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=33422

    And I'm pretty sure there were a few more threads made by Bleys and Unne aimed at each other in some kind of way, all made on that day. If anything, I imagine that would have bumped activity. Good times.
    OMG where the hell was I when that was going on?!?!?

    I just almost died of laughter and I'm STILL laughing at that thread. By FAR one of the best ever.

    Yeah, I think that had something to do with it.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I think there was a thread asking what your name was on that day. I answered "Joe".

    Was that day special for some reason, or was it just a coincidence that so many people crossed through here? Either way, I just thought to myself how cool it would be if we could crack the century mark. 100 people on the forums at the same time.

    How long has this place been around? Four or five years? Thousands and thousands of visitors, and yet never 100 people on the forums at a time. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course, but it should just. . . be done.
    Yeah, but theres so many friggin ff sites out there and like games forums. Its probably not possible, or maybe so. Itd be cool though, to see alot of people on eoff like that day.

    Yes, there was a glitch once where no one was deleted from the Who's Online list for a very long time after they appeared on it. I remember it because immediately afterwards, the entire MB crashed, and then I think I was talking to Master Vivi about it. Hard to remember. May have been one of those times when the server's clock got randomly reset.

    What's so special about 100? What, it's the first three digit number? Just change your number representation to the base 9.1 and it is 100! (Can you change it to 9.1? I have no idea how that would work. :-()

    Or change it to base 2 and it'll be huge. 8-)

    hi!

    If you really want to get over 100 people online at once here, you have to band peopel together and tell them to leave a window open while being logged in! Just hope that no one screws with your screen name if you are not around.

    I'm pretty sure even if you leave a browser window open, you're removed from the list after a certain period of inactivity. The server can't detect whether you have a window open or not after all. Maybe if you leave your browser window open looking at the Who's Online list it'd work, since that page auto-updates itself every couple minutes.

    Unless you have a good connection and stay on the Who's Online page. The Who's Online page refreshes every minute and ensures that your cookies stay active. At least, it did in vB2.
