Wow!

I guess a spike at this time of year isn't a big surprise - school just started.

It would be fun to plan a time that everyone could jump on PF and we could have like a record of 1000 members on the board at once.

It's funny to read this now. I don't think I've ever logged on to PF without seeing at least 3000 active users, even in the middle of the night(EST).

Yes it is. Greg thinks so too, as you can see in post #54, where he bumps this thread after it's been inactive for 5 years.

The above was in 2003.

I remember one day and 27 members (not including guests) were online and I thought "now we've made it!"

PF isn't close to the top, but it's quality not quantity. There are a couple forums with over a billion posts. Not surprisingly they are for anime games.
