MattZ Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 According to the front page of VC, the most users ever online was 234 on Jan 8 2005, 05:26 PM. What possibly could have precipitated such a massive overload of VC usage? The NYE show at MSG? A really awesome and mind-blowing NP thread? The first thread complaining about stale setlists?

MattZ Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 D'oh! I like Caliber's and Cryptique's answers better. I am bummed that there is actually a real answer. I thought this thread had some real potential. Perhaps my first > 100 posts thread. Alas, it will have to be some other one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jenbobblehead Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I asked this a few months ago,the answer lies in past threads.Do your research!yeah, except i don't think that the reason was correct. I was pretty sure that on that day a whole bunch of tickets went on sale for a bunch of different venues and we were all online trying to get them. PResales or something.
