woah : 1058

Holy shit, there’s like 1050+ users online. I was wondering what’s the average per day and if this is the first time? Does it slow down the server?
Take a look:

um, typically I've seen it around 50 to 100. This is interesting.

edit: with a very quick peek at the online page, it seems that we've been slashdotted. Specifically, the thread announcing the Chernobyl motorcyclist thing to be contrived: http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp?fid=1&threadid=8951

Now that's a lot of users!

Its dropping quickly now. 996 as of 8:53pm Eastern Time. Probably a Login Rain Storm, as SPEK explained to me.

that's gonna me expensive.

Av pays for bandwidth by overall speed rather than by the unit, so it won't cost him anything more that normal.

Shiza! Thats a lot of people. Looks like Av's server is handling the load though, which is good.

Ok, I guess I'm being a xenophobe, but... fuck. I hate to see us having this much exposure. Av and mods, how about not approving any new user accounts for the next week or so? Otherwise, prepare for a stupid newbie invasion of epic proportions...

Sorry, that's just silly. Imagine how you would have felt if some article was slashdotted on here right before you signed up?

You'd have quite the bad taste in your mouth.

Av, and other mods: do whatever you want. The furor will be gone in 24 hours.

If they really want to join, they can stick around for a week... and besides, I think this is one of those "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" cases.

Tell ya what, I'll send any poor, excluded sob 50 cents and a cookie.

Well, I disagree with your assessment, so we'll have to agree to disagree.

I'll PM you my address, and I can be the first you send my 50 c cheque and cookie to.

new registrations don't appear to be much higher than normal, although I'm not sure how recently someone last approved a batch.

So things are slowing down a bit from the peak, but not by much.

What's to complain about? This is an amazing site, and the world seems to be noticing that. So be it. The odd dick'll probably be signing up as a result, but so will will many more new and cool real UE'ers. To quote the criminal Martha, this is "a good thing", no?

And a further development in the good news dept... it looks like Av's servers are passing the robustness test, with flying colours. There's nothing like a good acid test here and there to prove you're doing it right.

Let's be friendly and greet the new bretheren with open arms and minds.

It's great to be alive!

Um... Son Of Sam's got this animated avatar happening. Besides being royally annoying, isn't that against some rule or other? If not, there certainly should be one.

If you're into stick figures and gruesome deaths, you really should go here:
