about Saturday 10th Decemebr 2005 at 1:47pm?

Most users ever online was 131 on Sat Dec 10, 2005 1:47 pm

Why were there so many online on that day?

Was there an extra, extra special ruck on TDO between members going on at the time, that was more riveting than Dallas, Eastenders or Coronation Street all put together?

Intriguing?

Anyone know, why that many were online then?

Yorkie?

What ever happened to him, he made a brief comeback on Andy's forum, then went silent again.

But 131 online at one time?

Since I've been on TDO I haven't seen 20 online at any particular time let alone 131 & the membership has probably doubled since then & computers are far more common in households too.

Just intriguing.

And there was also .....

But I don't think either is the answer.

I suspect the spammer(s) where having a nose, or a link from TDO was posted on a supa dupa site somewhere and all those users had a nose.

But my money is on the, or a, spammer(s). :sad:

Or possibly search bots.

I have web sites and at times there can be 100's of google bots on indexing pages.

Don't we all!

And have you noticed how TDO is 'quieter' without JD?

By that I meant that there seem to be far fewer posts in general; JD stimulated debate.
