New AO Record! Over 1000 People Online Yesterday

[AGD]

Go AO!

Things have been building up over the last few months. I find it particularly interesting since the rest of the paintball world has been struggling. Anyone have any ideas why?

Our old record was around 600 something during an online event.

My guess is that AO is being targetted by bots/spiders... and the unusually high ratio of guests vs. registered users online (versus the past) can be attributed to this... non-human "guests" collecting data off the forums for whatever reason.

No it was the people looking at my Karta Emag I sold yesterday!


Realistically though, I bet Miscue is probably right.

It's also possible that AO got "slashdotted" by some other web resource.

Farked or slashdotted would kill the servers, not set a new attendance record.

Maybe its because people are realizing that unlike other forums, AO is not littered with immature, ignorant, cocky heathens. This is the most helpful and mature forum I have found online. Ya'll run a tight ship.

hell, that's the only reason I come here

i saw yesterday in the markers B/S/T there were 250 people there alone

People are coming here because they realize that all the bad press that AGD has gotten in the past is utter bullcrap. Sales are up, mags are alive and well(as they have always been), and people see it. Go AGD!

[REDRT]

Growing trend of woodsball, scenerio play, and even stock class is got people more interest in things AGD can offer them. What better place to come than AO for insight on the MAGnificent Automag line up!?

I've been here more lately, and don't really know why. Probably because I don't have a life at the moment...But, only one more treatment!

I have noticed even Tom has been around more lately.

My guess too , it's spiked a couple times in the last few weeks in the same manner, there was a thread about the last one and that set the record at like 5 am EST or some unusual time.

Definately a glitch or some 'other' reason.
