At the bottom of http://discussions.virtualdr.com/index.php? it says that the most ever people logged on was 700+ on 7th May.
I vaguely remember that the previous highest count was 269 or so on the 9th May last year I think.
What happened on 7th May to cause so many users ?
Wasn't that the day you were testing your "death to all computers evil death ray" Nix???
I'm so sorry....that was me. I thought i was having trouble logging on and so I tried over and over and over and....
awwww Bistro, I thought you told us that the lithium solved your twitchy finger problem...????....guess you'll have to up the dose, eh.... :rolleyes: :eek:....or stay out of the way of Nix's death ray....maybe wear a collander on your head...:D
Shoot, I've been wearing a collander on my head for a long, long....*!*.....uh....er....uh...never mind.
What, you lost faith in the tin foil hat?
Yes...I quit that...I looked too much like a giant Hershey's Kiss and all the neighborhood kids kept following me around.
You too? LOL
Wait....I think I found the answer:I think a lot of people remembered that fact and decided to stay indoors and visit VDr in order to avoid any contact with British ships......I would.Quote:
On this date (May 7) in 1915: The British ship Lusitania is torpedoed by a German submarine off the Ireland coast; 1,198 people are killed, increasing sentiment in the United States to join World War I.
Nix is thinking "Why did I even bother?"...
No doubt and indeed....! :DQuote:

I tried that game before....I finally gave up trying to get more time, so I tried to see how quickly I could die. Got pretty good at it. :)
I think when vDr deals with up-to-the minute topics first, it does really well in search engines. Particularly when they are presented in a way that uses 2nd and 3rd 'tier' keywords. Examples:
JonnyB's Piracy Thread
Windows Media Player 11 Thread
Invalid Menu Handle Thread
If you get enough of these kinds of threads on the same day, with the right problems around on the web, it could have that effect, right?
Sorry if I'm taking the question too seriously!!!
Very good all.
Good to see such a simple question bringing out the silliness in some of us.
:p
Eureka! We findeth one who can successfully traverse the Valley of Jocularity (from whence I cometh) and actually come up witheth....er....with a straight answer and, yea verily, one that maketh much sense. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/im.../2006/05/2.gifQuote:

I hate that....when I see posts like that I feel like sending Mavis Beacon over to their house and have her pour gasoline on their lawn....
No it was like either he was tripping on LCD, English wasn't his first language and he was using some bad translator or he was Yoda.
I was getting confused as and he/she accused me of making fun of him/her when I asked for some clarification.
It was going on about spam and tele marketers and VDr needed to supply a solution to get rid of the 99 spam a day he had got in the last week.
I think.
I agree, that's up there withQuote:

Or peole who be talkin' like a rasta man when they is white as snow.
Or speakin like a homie when they ain't got a single bit of black blood in their lily white body 'sup wit that brother ?
Did you tell him/her that you would talk to me and ask me to quit sending them?Quote:

Nyuk, nyuk....:D
Yeah....sometimes it's hard to interpret some posts....people sometimes do not realize that they are not communicating well...THEY know what they are saying, but their words/semantics aren't getting across....then you sometimes get the sensitive ones who think you are making fun of them. In my somewhat extensive travels, I've run across many, many folks in other countries who are quite sensitive about their ability to communicate in English. You just have to work with them and try to understand.
I was trying, but maybe suggesting that talking like Yoda was very clever but not helping the situation wasn't the right approach
Uh.....not. ROFL!
Maybe apologize should you do, yes?
Thread deleted, he did.
His name remember, I don't.
The YODA AWARD goes to the following:

:D For the laughs, I thank.Quote:

I'd just like to thank my parents for having me and my wife for letting me stay up late on the computer hanging about at VDr and..........goodness is that the time (1.42am), my wife has gone away for the weekend so it's a boys weekend although I'm guessing at 6.5 and 2 years old not much partying will be done by my two little ones. LOL
Got to be at Rugby League at 7.30am time for some zzzzzzzzs
Aaaaahhhh.....Rugby......the Sport of Masochists.
sooooo....back to the original Q? as stated by Nix
this from the forums page:
"Most users ever online was 763, 05-06-2006 at 10:03 PM."
...the Lusitania was still afloat.......and so are we....:D
I don't know about you, Poppy, but I'm beginning to wonder what's keeping those two afloat :D
If by 'those two' you mean Nix and Bistro....I can only venture a guess :rolleyes:Quote:

It is their vast store of knowledge in pc matters, which are like 'cork' blocks, and they stay afloat on the 'cork-rafts'.....the cork coming probably from good OZ brews/wine for Nix, and I have no idea what Bistro might un-cork, and since he's such a spontaneously funny quipster....he probably doesn't know either...:D:D
LOL! I'll bet you're right. They're definitely full of it - it being, of course, their vast knowledge of computers ;)
I won't dig the thread out of the morgue--let's just say it landed where it belonged. It was, to say the least, bizarre.
Aaaahhhh...."bizarre".....OK then.....I can handle those! Hand it over.... :cool: :D
I defer to the unknown mod who moved it there. I haven't been doing this long enough to step on toes yet. :D
Phew, at least this is acknowledgement there was a thread - I was beginning to think I imagined the whole thing.Quote:

Or maybe the Unknown Mod is a brown paper bag puppet:
