What happened?

I was just browsing over the home page and I noticed the following statistic off to the side: Most users ever online was 1,606, 01-12-2008 at 08:42 PM.

I was just curious what was going on that day where we would have over 1,500 people on the forums? Today for example, as I'm posing this there are 25 people on the forums. 1 user and 24 visitors.

The date doesn't coincide with live8, or the deaths of Rick Wright or Syd Barrett...so, anyone remember what was going on that day?

Re: What happened?

I'm pretty sure that most of these "users" were actually search engine spiders, indexing the website. I remember they bought the server down to its knees and I had to actually insert some technical instructions for them so as they would not try to index all pages at one time, or something to that effect.

I must have come at the wrong time, haha. I have posted a bunch of things since I joined yesterday and got no replies to anything yet. This isn't a dead forum is it?

Re: What happened?

We've had our better days, indeed, but this is not a dead forum at all. People are probably just watching the World Cup instead of surfing the internet.

Here in London, the sun is shining. What? You want me to sit inside and type out discussion board messages? Get real.

Well, "fan for years", if you'da gotten your ass over here 5 or 6 years earlier you could'a been a part of the posting frenzy that was prevalent then.

While it is quiet nowadays, it's far from dead.

Man, you should wind your watch. That posting frenzy was closer to eight or nine years ago.

...alas.

How far from dead is a zombie? Farther than a ghost?

Yes, frenziedly good times indeed.

Crazy that it was that long ago.

It's almost as if our community mirrored the development of the Floyd in many respects.

So, y'know, that's sort of appropriate.

Right?

You'd certainly be sad, if that'd help.

Although it's awfully considerate to think of him here...

Re: What happened?

Would this phase be AMLOR or the Live 8 reunion? I sort of feel like a dead Rick.
