Can we beat the "most users ever online" record?

Damn, that's a lotta people online with nothing special going on. :shock:
 
We beat the record, even though it was kinda sad what ended up breaking it. :/

Most users ever online was 232 on Sep 20, 2006 02:54:25 PM
 
Well Hammond go into that accident and alot of lurkers signed up and started posting....
 
Yea, when I saw the news I couldnt even bring up finalgear, server must have been taking a pounding...
 
Same, but FinalGear is the place to go for Top Gear news, so a lot of people signed in to wish him well.

Just realised that we smashed the record again a couple days ago, but this time under more nicer circumstances.

Well, we didn't really. It was actually a bazillion copies of Yahoo! Slurp (their search engine crawler) which was reading our new forum.
 
Not only that, it was trying to send PM which struck me as weird. What's up with that?
 
It wasn't, it was just crawling that page since it's probably linked to somewhere.
 
Oh well, we still broke the record, and thats what counts! :happy:
 
Top Gear is definitely back. :lol:
