was the "most users online 195" a planned event??

I noticed the bottom of the screen says "The most users ever onine was 195 set at.............blah blah blah".

Was this a scheduled plan to set a high number, or did that just happen?

CART bankruptcy day. ;)

Alas, no. The current "most users ever online" was from a swarm of spiders from some stupid new search engine. Not sure why it happened and I forget what the most users before that was. Maybe I can dig that up.

I do think bankruptcy day was the previous high.

Yeah, the court day was in January.

I remember somebody saying it was shortly after a link to a thread here showed up on another enthusiast's forum. An import tuner forum, or something like that.

Oh yeah, welcome back, 'geek.

I wondered about the 195.

Yeah, I think that's right. Someone posted some pics of a car hauler full of classic Porsches that got hit by a train. That ended up getting linked in a bunch of other places so on top of a lot of people visiting the site we had a ton of spiders from a place called "JetEye" hitting the page.

IIRC, 168 pops into my mind for the total of people that were here when the bankruptcy court was on.

I could be wrong though....
