Default Online record broken...

Just thought you'd all be interesting in hearing that about 3 mins ago we broke the record for the most people on the site at any one time!

It's now at 24.

NEARLY broke a record once myself...

I was working for a company called DWS Investments who were (a couple of seasons ago) sponsoring Aston Villa which meant that I was at Villa Park quite often.

Anyway...long story short, for Comic Relief I wanted to sell Groucho Marx glasses/nose/moustache things (you know the ones...) to set a new record. The current record is around 9,000 wearing such things in any one place at any one time. We would have got 30,000. Had the idea beat down at the last!

Still...it's a dream to beat that personal record! IT WILL BE MINE!

Sounds cool. You must try!

But it confused me... who would have thought to make that a record??? It's a rather strange thing to hold a record in.

They can do that.

A forum fairy is a small creature, which lives in the depths of the Internet, that most forum users refuse to believe exist. In fact, most admins and moderators will deny their existence as well. Strange happenings on boards like our own are often caused by the forum fairies' raids.

When raiding a forum board, forum fairies can get into all sorts of mischief. And of course... since the fairies technically use the boards during these raids, they are very much online and therefore count towards the online record. Luckily, I've tamed some forum fairies... they remove swear words from posts. Clever things. See the diagram below.



Remember though... every time you say a forum fairy does not exist... you get banned.
