Title: Record Number Of Guests On-line
Post by: Bob_Roller on June 26, 2007, 12:01:45 PM

I was looking at the various posts yesterday between 12 noon and 1 pm (mountain standard time) and saw that there were 94 guests online at that time. Doesn't that seem out of the ordinary to the usual amount of guests that usually are visiting this site?

Yeah, I think there must be a "bug" in the system somewhere, Bob.  I know I haven't ever seen more than 14 folks on the forum at the same time.  (And I thought that figure was out of the ordinary!) That figure of 94 does sound weird, to say the least.  Maybe Justin can check into this and verify it for us.

Looking at the error log showed a particular username trying to register from numerous ip addresses.  I have seen this before and assume it to be a spam-bot that just doesn't want to give up...

Thanks, Justin, I thought it was more than a bit out of the ordinary, than what I've seen in the past.

Just for the record, do we know what the record actually is for "legit" members using the forum at the same time?  It seems like I remember seeing something like 14 back around Christmas of last year.

It is at the bottom of the home page everytime you log in!

"Most Members ever online was 11 on 04/08/07 at 21:32:38"  was from just now...
