Just out of interest...
"Most users ever online was 154 on 07-16-2004 at 08:59 PM."

What was going on that day?

I've never seen that many users online.. Actually, right now is the most users online I've ever seen...

If memory serves - that was around the time that the whole Derek Smart saga was going on. Talks of a third FreeSpace are enough to really get the community buzzing you know :)

(I might be entirely and horribly wrong about the reason.. - don't quote me)

Funny you should mention that. I just finished reading the entire Addrenaline Vault topic over the Freespace 3 license. If I recall, Kazan was giving that bastards what for!

But yes, it broke the reccord by 20 people. They thought all the HLP members were "Lamespace Fanboys" who were mindlessly flaming the board, when in turn they were insulting HLP, calling it a "cesspit" and saying that we were all vicious. I was around when the incident happened, but never posted.

It was just a gargantuant mess. In the end, Derek never got the license, the little prick.

Derek Smart! Derek Smart! Derek Smart!

if you say his name 3 times, he's bound to appear, like Rumplestilskin.

 
Did anyone ever see that movie?

I really wish I'd just banned Derek Smart at the time...... it was so[/b] tempting.....

 
It would have made us all look like panseys at Adrenaline Vault then.
