    Default Most users ever online was 2,594, 05-21-2005 at 12:44 PM.

    "Most users ever online was 2,594, 05-21-2005 at 12:44 PM."*

    I've scanned the "Users Online" box near the bottom of the SW Forums board and often wondered "WTF? What happened on that date?". I've tried to imagine plausible scenarios but none have made sense, so far...

    A brief thread search didn't illuminate the issue, either. Can anybody enlighten me regarding what 2,594 users converged on SW for?

    *I didn't post this query under "Site Issues" because it happened only once & seems (to me) bizarre.

    From what I've heard in the past...it was a huge troll invasion. Dunno if that's the truth, but I've heard it more than once.

    I wonder where they ALL came from? They prob had to be individual people...or wait...yea maybe it was some kind of hacker-psycho who created mad usernames and stuff, and there was a way it could appear they were all online at once...yea I'd buy that.

    Oh and like, I just thought about it, but look at the time of day...Noon, 1:00? even give or take a few hours...seems like that would not be the right time for most of the 2,594 strippers...

    maybe a glitch in the logging software? or some web-bots or script-kiddie issue?

    5/21/05 was my 21st birthday. Everyone just wanted to join in on my party? That has to be it. I'm just THAT cool.

    I think there were some "system" problems that day. I think it may have been logging search spyders and some other crap.

    Hey Fawn, it looks like you haven't aged a day in your avatar!

    It was about when we finally got back online. SW was down for several days if not maybe it was a week. Anyways, people came back to life from the SW heart attacks and logged back on that day. Plus all the other trolls, stalkers, geeks, nerds, spammers, trolls, perverts and lurkers on that day too. Usually at any given time there are more "guests" on than members.

    Then I wonder where the troll thing came from...I am 100% sure I've seen someone on here say it before at least once. Weird.

    Charles Dickens could have prematurely been describing SW's dualism on 05-21-2005 when he started "A Tale of Two Cities" with:
