Wow, a new record, 312 users online at the same time. 
The old record was 99!
Anyone an idea why this sudden increase?
Maybe cause that Bioware has a link to Gamebanshee in their poll at the moment or something.

| | Back to topic ( ) we also hit 10,000 members 14 members ago. I didn't think that one little link would send so much attention this way. I hope Buck isn't struggling with bandwidth.

LOL - me to
345 now as I write.
My first thought was that somebody has just launched countless of instances of Internet Explorere and each instance counts as a "guest", but it dosen't seem liked a great number of guest visit with the same IP adress. |

| | | I have no idea, either buck didnt count visitors before, or it's because of the link at the main bioware site.

| | Dunno - but this looks like a forum bug 
A possible explenation could be that the sessions for the site doesn't time out, and therefore people continue to be listed on the active users list, even if they aren't viewing the site anymore.
This could also explain some other fun stuff that is happening at the moment. The site continues to list posts I've read as new posts, eventhough I have closed down the browser and site numerous times.
Otherwise - it seems as if GB have recived a sudden boom of guests
