    Whenever I look at the number of online members, it's always between around 1000-3000. On the bottom of the page it says that on March 19th 2009 over 17.000 members were online. That's a huge jump imho. :)

    Does anybody remember what happened back then? Was there something special going on that day? :confused:

    I'm guessing that none of these events are related to the online user spike.

    March 19, 2009
    * A 7.9-magnitude earthquake occurs and the Hunga Tonga submarine volcano erupts in the Pacific Ocean near Tongatapu, Tonga.
    * North Korea detains two American Current TV journalists near its border with China.
    * Josef Fritzl of Austria is sentenced to life imprisonment on all charges.
    * Namibia declares a state of emergency after floods kill 92 people and render 25,000 homeless.

    March 19 is the 78th day of the year (79th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 287 days remaining until the end of the year.
