What happened in November '05?
on: November 27, 2007, 11:05:20 pm
I was looking through the HLP statistics page cause I was really bored, and something caught my interest.

On the monthly summary, it lists the amount of activity on the site by month. Now, October '05 lists 6 new topics, 48 new posts, and no new members. Then along comes November and WHOA! New topics are at 480, new posts at 8,165, and 126 new members. So my question is: what happened in November of '05 to cause such a drastic increase in forum activity?

Or, more specifically, the 11th of November, cause the day-by-day summary shows the most drastic increase right there.

The annual Hard Light Productions Guy Fawkes Day Celebration! A party to incredible, so stupendous, so dirty that it's been known to last for a good week after the fact! Word of such a fantastic celebrations is sure to spread far and wide, so it's no surprise that people would come from miles around to see it. :D

The forum was switched to the new server at that point, which may have led it to reset the stats. The October stats probably only cover the last few days of the month.

I want on hiatus right about there.

Wait... :(
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Aaahhhhh yes, the good ol' days, back when there was all kinds of activity and you didn't have to wait to get something answered. How we miss thee.......
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
