Most users ever online was 91

[Strider]

This was just something I thought of right now.

I was glancin' over the memberlist just now, seein' what all of the people in the forums were up to, when I noticed something. Apparently, the largest number of people that has ever been active on the Eyes on Final Fantasy Forums is 91. That was on May 13, 2003.

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.

Next time we have something really important come around, we should get as many people together as possible. Or hell, we could just do it whenever! At any rate, in conclusion, that kind of stuff, that 91 is bothering me. It should be a cool 100.

Discuss.

[Misfit]

I agree. @_@

I saw that a few days ago and thought of something similar, but y'know, I just let it go...

BUT NOT NOW!

It could easily have been skewed by someone using attachments here and remote linking (although people would have got an error message anyway since you have to log in to see attachments), artificially making the number higher due to large amounts of guests Well, if it was firaly real, then perhaps we'll see something similar again in May, since I wouldn't be surprised if the traffic goes up and down in a regular pattern over a period of a year - bit like how December/January is always quiet compared to normal

Could've been Ciddies day? It was around that time. *shrug*

[Loony BoB]

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.

Even though EoFF is a large forum, it usually averages around 25 or so members online at a time. Have you noticed that most of the members here that are online are those who don't spam and whatnot?

Take a look at other forums similar to this one. Take FFWA for example. that forum averages more members than EoFF, but also has a higher percentage of crap members.

With more members comes more crap.

We *could* molecularly duplicate PG several dozen times and have them all access EoFF from the school computer lab. What do you say about that?

Actually you know what? I think I can go around the comp lab, load up EoFF as a guest, and then boost the numbers that way. Talk about cheating eh.

Unless their all on the same IP

Congratulation.... :boohoo:

Nah, the board doesn't count by IP, more likely by session id - I've had 3 on at once from the one IP and they all show up individually in the Who's Online but with the same IP - me, a test account in another browser, and lurker on the laptop

[Rainecloud]

We should christen it: "Eyes on Final Fantasy Day".

[Psychotic]

Or "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Day".

[Strider]

Or "100 Users on the Board Day". Hey, it gets the point across.

[Flying Mullet]

Can we name it "Flying Mullet Day"? :chef:

[Peegee]

Let's call it omfgsars day in honour of pies
