Oddworld Forums Most Users Online

Spaniardgod12 · #1 08-23-2012, 06:11 AM

Maybe if you haven't looked before, but the most users ever online on this forum was over 500 users. I'd like to break that record, making the most users online to at least 700 users. I'd like everyone to participate, so tell your friends, enemies, and teachers to get on the forum and browse or post something! The date in which we will bring this into action will be Saturday August 25 4:00pm. My time zone is pacific standard, I'm sure you can do the math, have a great day oddworldians, I hope to see you browsing and posting on August 25 4:00pm!

That's really, really unlikely to happen. We could have a hundred if we tried hard enough

STM · #3 08-23-2012, 06:14 AM

Wow, you have one post.

Spaniardgod12 · #4 08-23-2012, 06:17 AM

Your right it is unlikely, but I won't give up.

Asmoden · #5 08-23-2012, 06:17 AM

I like the idea but do you really think 700 users will visit this thread in the next few days?

At least we should wait for oddysee HD to come out...

Lol true Abe HD will bring alot of people back on this forum. I'll remove this thread a create a new one when the forums become populated with lots of people.

Good luck with that. I'd give you some rep if you found at least 100 (and documented it, posted screenshot or whatever)

That's more like it.

I hope you're aware that a large, large proportion of that number were search engine bots and not actual people.

So what's the point in showing that number

(it's meaningless)

Laser · #16 08-23-2012, 10:23 AM

It would be awesome to have some of the older members come back

Crashpunk · #17 08-23-2012, 12:05 PM

Anyone know why that day was so popular? Did something happen?

Ridg3 · #18 08-23-2012, 12:16 PM

I'll do my bit and make sure I'm not on that day.

gishygleb · #19 08-23-2012, 01:07 PM

I hope Abe HD won't have too many problems to discuss on the forums. But it can really invite members to OWF.

This. Probably 490 of those 500-odd weren't actually people.

My gut feeling was that the vBulletin code that counts and stores the number of online users predates significant search engine activity and it's never been updated. Or it has been updated and Peter hasn't bothered installing it yet.

Wut?

Mac Sirloin · #21 08-24-2012, 12:25 PM

I've been thinking about that number since I joined. This might as well be the best place to ask, so what are the chances of resetting the 'most users' ticker, if possible?

Mr. Bungle · #22 08-25-2012, 12:12 AM

I asked about this in a blog. Nate said it was most likely an overload of bots.

EDIT: Derp, didn't read Nate's post. Ignore my silly.

I like to reset that number too since when Abe Oddysee HD come out i whant to know approximately what the public response is.

The Sales would better reflect on the public response then anything else. Still, That's actually not a bad idea. It would defiantly be a good way to see if more Oddworld fans are being made, And maybe even old ones members might return to the forums.

Lorne Lanning released a PR statement announcing he was venturing into porno flicks.

Hours later he released a second statement retracting the first, around 300 of those 500 traveled to taco Bell parking lots and killed themselves.

I just did some googling. The Most Users stats can't be reset without accessing the database directly. And that's just stupid.

Spaniardgod12 · #29 08-28-2012, 03:05 PM

Is this thread becoming popular or is it me?

Crashpunk · #30 08-28-2012, 03:09 PM

It's you. Well actually now it's me because I've just posted in it.
