I just read this at the bottom of the home page. Does anyone remember what was so special on that day?

Are you able to scroll back that many pages?

If I recall correctly, that was when Gemini put up their haul of SDCC '14 exclusives and all hell broke loose. Prior to that I believe the "most users ever online" was that previous October for the blue Batmobile (Toy Toko exclusive) release online.

Re: Most users ever online was 166 on Thu Jul 24, 2014
That's a lot, but I don't think its actually the most. We broke the site for a Christmas contest one year. I think the Crazy Color Freddys, maybe. Other long-timers help me out.

The record was over 200 before.
May have been Brian giving away the retro Freddy protos. The board was crashing because there was so much traffic.
Both sdcc 13 and 14 were crazy though.

Does anyone know how many people this site can handle now before it crashes?

I couldn't remember if it was crazy color or Retro Freddy. Could have been both.

Can the board handle 200 at once? I would hate for it to break for another 3 days like it did in October. That was stressful and tourcherous!

The board has crashed a few times since I joined. I know that there were over 200 people online before before the crash.

Re: Most users ever online was 166 on Thu Jul 24, 2014
The server went down during the crazy color Freddy proto contest. The first link is for the original contest. The second link is the second thread that Brian set up after we had server problems. That was when FunkoFanJim's business was hosting our site. Now we are on Go Daddy. I think there is also a difference because everyone was constantly hitting refresh.

I'll have to keep my eye out for contests like that. That would have been pretty cool and I can understand why capacity would be exceeded.

I had a shirt made with the date the site crashed, it was for a contest Brian had that year. In fact he couldn't even get on the thread he had going so he had to start a new thread, I even had a contest on how pages it would end up at ha. Since then the site has change servers so the number you stated is incorrect.
