Record breaking day!!

**Sava** · October 27, 2005, 20:13

Most users ever online on a day was 1819 on 28-10-2005.

or 10-28-2005 for those of us who write the date properly (month-day-year)

THAT'S TODAY!!

well, it's still October 27th here in the US... but I assume this is GMT, so it is October 28th according to GMT time

so the record is broken like RIGHT NOW!!!

Congrats Poly!

Usually things break when this many people come on. Good job, Mark and Dan!

Congratulations to Markos, Dan and Apolyton.

Holy Cow, nothing like a new Civ Release to liven up the forums

Congrats

**duke o' york** · October 28, 2005, 13:51

Congratulations to all the staff, and many thanks for all the time and effort you've contributed to both the site and the forums.

Well Done Lads

Many Thanks

**Addled Platypus** · October 28, 2005, 14:57

155 new registers....WOW...

and the day is not over

**Dauphin** · October 28, 2005, 15:05

More revenue for Markos and Dan.

**alva** · October 30, 2005, 06:14

But...CFC is kicking our behind though.

**duke o' york** · October 30, 2005, 07:00

It's not a contest! We're here for the glory of Civ!

But if you want to get competitive, find out who they've got at their convention.

What makes you say that, alva?

Numbers of threads, numbers of posts, numbers of registered users on the forums... that only tells part of the story. But as duke o' york has already said, it's not a competition.

Let history make the judgment calls.

A great site, very user friendly, and extremely helpful this old fella.

Let the games never end.

**alva** · October 30, 2005, 10:20

Well, I haven't really compared the numbers but CFC's do look impressive.

Bah, we go for quality, not quantity. And CFC has obviously fiddled with their stats.

**DrSpike** · October 30, 2005, 12:08

Wow, a record. Has a new game come out or something?

**DarkCloud** · October 30, 2005, 12:24

It's amazing that the site is able to stay up despite the record-breaking numbers- the stability is MUCH better than on Civ III's release when the OT was shut down!

Great work Markos and Dan!

Thanks for the ongoing kind words of support and congratulations, everyone.

I do not recognize the software in use from the screenshots of CFC visitor data. Perhaps there is someone who does? Also, I do not know if what we are seeing there are third-party stats or logs from CFC's server.

In terms of our sitewide traffic, we log our own stats. There are some 'legacy' third-party trackers still in places on-site, but they're few and far between.

P.S. If you use Alexa as a measure for any website, be wary... its trackers only count traffic through copies of the Internet Explorer browser from what I understand. Most unfortunate all around.

Hangman 3D I think...

And I´m also amazed at the stability of the site. Our very own dynamic duo has done a terrific job

**MarkG** · October 30, 2005, 15:16

I'm glad to report that Settler III is perfoming excellently* and we have not have to even think of cuting any features or services (although I was tempted (and some people on irc agreed!) to close the OT just to keep with the tradition

)

* Some people have goten mysql connection errors, but they are only temporary and usually a refresh does the job

**alva** · October 30, 2005, 20:40

Nope, sorry.

Markos:

Was that the 30 second thingy we got yesterday?

**Grandpa Troll** · October 30, 2005, 20:54
