30th March 2015
 
So what ever happened during that day as 6k users were online ?!!!!

Nihilego February 16th, 2016 4:19 AM

No idea, haha. Interesting question though! Just out of curiosity I looked at the post logs around that time and there wasn't a particularly striking increase in new posts for that day. I'll check the registration statistics too and see what comes up. 8)


edit: so there wasn't an increase in registrations on that day, and interestingly there also wasn't an increase in the activity of registered users -- the vast, vast majority of those people online were guests. Maybe we got linked to in a high-scoring post on Reddit or something like that?

edit 2: so interestingly, I was looking and also found a roughly 2x increase in user activity and an almost 5x increase in new registrations around 22nd August 2015. Anyone know if anything interesting happened on that day?

edit 3: omg i love statistics!!! this is fun /nerd

I was uh, just randomly browsing PC that day and had no idea the most users online record had just been broken.

That probably has something to do with the Get Together events, I became a lot more active after joining the mafia game for the GT, and it was not my main idea; that day I said to myself "I'll join one of these events" and I joined the mafia game, became a regular in the UG and grew fond of the community. If it isn't that, I got no idea.

We didn't have any GT on March or August, so must be something else :c.

Was anything new announced back then? Pokken or something maybe...?

Wasn't March when ORAS was announced- wait that was 2014.

I have no idea.

Gabri February 16th, 2016 6:32 AM

Wasn't there some kind of glitch at that time, where people would appear as still being online long after they logged off/went to do something else? I remember something like that happening once

People were excited about my modding that week. Clearly the reason for the activity spike.

Palamon February 16th, 2016 2:35 PM

I wasn't online, so idk.

Sopheria February 16th, 2016 4:19 PM

Huh...this was just 4 days after I returned from my hiatus from PC. What is it about this point in time that drew us all here??

I can confirm that this was why I was on that day

I tried to look at events that happened that day but turned up empty handed at least on why people would swarm here. The biggest thing happening at the time was the Germanwings flight incident.

If I remember right, for the August one, someone on hstaff was screwing around with the coding, and the section displayed people who were logged on during the last couple hours instead of the last 10 minutes. Memory's rusty though, so I'm not 100% sure.

Starry Windy February 17th, 2016 6:14 AM

On that day, I was brainstorming the ideas for my fanfic, and it was posted in the Fanfic section in here several days later. This multiple-chapter fanfic is still unfinished yet at this time of writing, though.

The Pokémon VGC/TCG World Championships had their finals and closing ceremony on that day in Boston, MA. There's usually a stream on Twitch/YT for it that gets like at least 10,000 views so maybe people were motivated to get back into Pokémon? That's the first thing that came to mind for me at least lol.

although tbh if they wanted to get into competitive Pokémon they'd probably go to nuggetbridge or maybe even smogon :x

The tail end of March 2015 was when Audy was doing all sorts of weird things to the forums. When I was searching for a picture of the Who's Online list from March 30 2015, I did find when the admins' names glitched out and everything became
NEON


You can see part of it here in TheRealOCD's picture!

The admins are the blurry names.
