The curious historian. What caused this?

Most users ever online was 478, 06-27-07 at 12:23 PM.

What was that about?

I've always wondered that, myself. That number does include spambots that index the site daily. Sometimes the "Currently Active users" number is 90, but there may only be 20 humans and 70 "Guests" (which are almost always robots.)

There must have been some massive robot convergence that day.

I thought it may have been one of the migrating periods where you upgraded the site.

[Mr.Taxi Trix]

I thought it was some ipod giveaway I missed.

[Evan Young]

I thought it was a weird flash mob.

[Rachel Peters]

I thought it was me, setting the home page to p.net on every computer in Future Shop.

Pfft. I hadn't joined yet, so clearly it wasn't everyone!
