Most people on thread record

[giant384]

Anyone think we will ever be able to beat the record?

Most users ever online was 5,064, 03-10-2003 at 10:07 AM.

i only see about and average of 250 people on everyday, but who knows.

care to take the challenge?

 

[evil^milk]

How do we push the limit?

 

[Darkside55]

Walk along the razor's edge

 

[Dog--]

The only reason that even happened was because Gabe Newell himself posted a thread here. I doubt it'll ever happen again unless he posts another thread.

 

[Shamrock]

Push it to the limit.

It was the heat of the moment.

2 of the most used songs ever in a montage.

You just made that up

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

You'll never know.

I suppose you are correct.

What was the thread? Could you link it?

 

[Ennui]

That was because of the HL2 source code theft. No way are we going to break that ever again.

 

[Dog--]

Really? I always thought it was the Gabe thread, Ennui...

 

[Pesmerga]

Constitutes as a forum game. Refer to official HL2.net lock graph.

 

[Dog--]

It was, look at the date of the first post of this thread, then look at the date of the most users record.

 

[giant384]

i suppose that would be the only reason.

thread which he was referring to.

maybe reset it? actually have a chance of holding and changing it hmm?
idk i just think its a cool dynamic to the site. even though i think the amount of member right now has steadied out.

 

[Ennui]

Really? I always thought it was the Gabe thread, Ennui...

It was... the Gabe thread was the announcement about the code theft!

 

[xcellerate]

Set a "top 3" for most ever online...can you do that?

 

[theotherguy]

Two things happened on that day: Gabe Newell confirmed with a post on this website that HL2 Source Code had been stolen, then CNN immediately did a report on it, with several seconds of Half-life2.net filling the screen, thus a ton of people logged on to this site to view the post.

 

[Pesmerga]

were they all registered members?

 

[FishBulb]

were they all registered members?

I doubt it. The currently active users list includes both members and guests.

 

[lame-o]

i agree

 

[Krynn72]

I object.

 

[Shamrock]

I vary.

 

[kineaesth]

I came?

 

[highlander]

I saw.

 

[kineaesth]

I came again.

 

[Omnomnick]

I didnt know there was a 'Gabe' thread. Apparently he has had 8 posts...
Only one of which I can find.

 

[SimonomiS]

gaben lol

 

[Eejit]

So bscly we have to stage a theft of Ep3.

 

[Cormeh]

FORUM - ASSEMBLE!

/blows into shell

 

[Lucid]

Just reset it, can't be that hard...










Or can it?

 

[Reginald]

Wait until I steal Half Life 3's source code. :naughty:

 

[Operational]

Gabe would have to post something truly epic here like, I don't know, making a thread announcing HL3 for that stat to be topped.

 

[highlander]

or hl2.net says they have an exclusive episode 3 trailer and you can only see it by being registered

 

[FishBulb]

Or Gabe posts and says he'll pick at random a few registered users to become a beta testers for Episode 3.

 

[Insano]

It won't have the same effect. Think about it: HL2.net came on CNN. How can you top that?

 

[highlander]

If hl2.net goes on Foxnews.


*runs for door*

 

[soulslicer]

Added Gabe to my friends list for the sake of it all..

 

[Rapstah]

If we turn HL2.net into a part of a elaborate internet meme.

 

[Insano]

Epic fail HL2.net guy.

 

[Xendance]

Hl2.net was on CNN? I'd like to see a video of that!

 

[Slug Advisor]

We all need to make multiple accounts.
