Hi! I've got a question for all the old-timers on HLP. What happened in november of 2005 that made the number of new posts and new members sky rocket? If you look at the statistics page, the number of new members is consistently low, and then at that time it jumps to 126. So is there an reason for this?
-
When did HLP move off 3dap? 2005 sounds too late

Shenanigans.
Not the cheeky and fun shenanigans. The cruel and tragic ones.
Which makes them..not shenanigans, at all really.

I believe the forum software was changed at that point. The place used to be on vBulletin before then.
-
Was that not the DS debacle?
-
Was that 2005 though? The years go by fast...

Was '04 according the the classics section.

Looks like CP had it right; I looked up the site stats, and they started in Nov 2005, which makes me think that there was a big switchover then, during which we began tracking visitors.

Also, holy crap, where did Mr Sandwich come from? :) Haven't seen you in a while.

Yeah, I've been pretty busy. :p I've been dropping by occasionally to make sure things haven't gone to hell in a handbasket. I intent to be around a bit more once spring comes; certain extra financial burdens should be all paid up by then, leaving me with some breathing room in life. There are definitely downsides to getting paid by the hour... ;)

was that not goobers fs2++ prank

I woud have guessed btrl.

Yes, BtRL caused a traffic increase so great, it had to be offloaded into the past!

I was gonna say "I joined the forum" but that was September '04 it turns out after checking.
...has it really been six years?

I'm almost positive this is it, because I can remember in my early days as a member, HLP had that different main page that actually had a bunch of articles and cool stuff on it, and I remember them making the switch to what I thought was an intermediary stage between said page and the current page.
Was there an intermediary main page? How many main pages have there been?
-
Three? I think.
