Did I miss the big party?

How did this happen??

[Fiyerstorm]

I heard it was when a bunch of IGN Boards members visited at the same time....if it is not that...I think it was a glitch.

[MottZilla]

Forum Glitch most likely. That or some kind of joke.

[ZZGundam]

Or it could be that some wierdo was able to convince all those people to go on the web at once, but personally, I consider the glitch more likely! Although I can tell you, If that wasn't a glitch, I would've loved to be there! :D

[MottZilla]

I'm doubting 800 people would be in on something like that though. Most likely the board screwwed up and was count guests more than once or something.

[ZZGundam]

Actually, I don't even think the board would be able to handle that, it would overload likely! I think the maximum it could handle is 100 people.

[MottZilla]

There is no reason for that. The board should be able to handle over 2000 people easily. It all depends how well it was programmed.

[ZZGundam]

Really? It could? :confuse2:

[MottZilla]

There is no reason it couldn't, the sotfware itself. It should be able to support something like 10,000+, maybe get cut off at 65,000 or so. I didn't program it though so I don't know.

Theroically, it would be 65536(the max with four hexadecimal numbers, FFFF) or something, but no idea.

And it was a bug..

;) now someone merge this :p

[Darunia]

That's a bit old.. it isn't?

Why don't merge it also with the original thread? :D

[The Silent Assassin]

Oh well, no official explanation was ever given, so we don't know for sure.
