Lets break the record!

We all watch the

"Most users ever online was 1,825, 10 January 2011 at 14:52".

Why don't we try to break he record??

How about Christmas day? Loads of us will be at a loose end at 11.00 on Christmas day??

Or anyone got a better time to suggest?

Let's try and blow it into oblivion and go into 2012 on a high!!

Personally I reckon the figure to beat is only 625 and I will be here! 1,825 is a lot of people!

That's why I said 625 'cos that was the figure before 1,825 suddendly appeared. We had this discussion at the time, there's no way nearly 2000 people were online at once.

I've done a little googling but there's nothing we can do to encourage them, perhaps our friendly administrators could sprinkle a little bit of coded magic? Not sure what benefits it would bring but I'm sure Santa bot would be appreciative of a mince pie smilie and rudolf would be partial to a carrot emoticon?

Sorry to burst your bubble boys but I think ERR 2011 blew both your events out the water in terms of number of Ribs attending and active over the weekend! Its our modesty that stops us ,sorry Tony's, crowing about it.
