Just curious- on the main SDC Forums page at the bottom it says the most users ever online for this site was 111 on August 20th, 2009 at 5:01 am.  Since that was before I discovered this site does anyone remember what the "hot topic" may have been?

I would think there would have to be some kind of typo....111 on at one time is incredible and at 5:00 in the morning makes it that much more hard to believe.

I'm pretty sure the 111 viewers were part of a bot attack, but it's also possible that several sites posted links to something on the forums at once and generated some quick interest. More likely to be a bot attack though.

Hey, we all have to get our Silver Dollar City fix at 5:00 in the morning. That first cup of coffee just isn't the same without it. ;)

Just remember that 5 in the morning according to your time zone could be a later time for other posters for their time zone. Don't know what the cleintale of SDC fans we have further east of your time zone is.

Thanks for the info, Shave!  Like I said in the original post I was just curious about all those users.
