    Cool Record breaking day!!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 )
