Our Record is 384 on 09-13-2002 at 09:58 PM


Don't you think it's about time we broke this record and hit the 400 mark. What if we set a date where we all just visit WHT. VB counts an active member as someone who has visited the forums within the last 15 minutes. So if we set a 15 minute time window where we all visit, I think we could easily break the record....

If they can handle 384, surely at least 16 extra people wouldn't be a problem...:D

As for time, it would probably have to be between noon and 3 PM GMT (7AM and 10AM Eastern US Standard Time - not sure about the aussie times...)

Ha! I'd be up from 8am to 5am EST time. So anytime between then, I am free to help the WHT overload. :D

Don't get so excited, guys. The user count isn't particularly accurate - I have seen it reset a number of times.

If I remember correctly, the count has gone up to as high as 550+. (and that was on the old server).

Ive seen up to 3987 people online at once. Though it wasnt here, it was a place running OpenTopic 2.1 with Oracle. They used a 5 minute window though.

Will we get any more content out of this increase in people, or more reposts of flash stuff and click this sort of posts?

Most Aussies would be sleeping then....:) And there are also 4 time zones in Australia ;)

I think around 5 time zones in Canada.

From BC to Newfoundland:
Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, and Maritime (newfoundland)

I think that's correct! If not correct me!

I think we'll have to set a date a couple weeks in advance so that we get more exposure....maybe sometime in december or maybe November 30th?

I'm, game :). Yes perhaps nov 30, as we should build a time list for time zone, area, etc and when to visit so it all perfects :D ;) :) .

Couldn't we all just keep our browser open to this page for 1 day? This would surely break the record :D

Hostkookster, it wouldn't work due to session timing out and it wouldn't even know you were there.

Someone could always design a framed page (w/ an IFRAME) with WHT open inside of it.

Then set a META tag of no-cache and META refresh is every 50 seconds...

Just have everyone keep that page open...
That should do the trick

Easy solution is the who's online list.
