The forum experienced a record-breaking online user count of 75 on September 18, 2003, which sparked discussions about aiming for even higher numbers. Users expressed excitement about the potential to reach 1,000 members online simultaneously, although concerns about server stability were raised. The increase in traffic was speculated to be linked to a newsletter and the positive reception of a new forum format. As the discussion progressed, user counts continued to rise, eventually surpassing 400, indicating a growing community. The thread highlighted both the excitement of increased participation and nostalgia for the forum's earlier, more intimate atmosphere.

Another new record. This is getting to be a daily event. I have started a thread in general asking where people are coming from.

Greg, it seems that boom in guests is due to the indexing of the text archive in Google, right?

I just had a look at the text archive and there doesn't seem to be a link to the forum, Physics forums is not mentioned as a name for the place either.. I think this would be an important thing to consider for recruiting members rather than guests

I kinda miss the old PF. Used to be more like acommunity. Now its kind of like one of those big time websites which is good but I must say I miss PF version 2 where traffic wasnt so high. It was homey-ish and people had friends there. Now its completely different :frown: . oh well i suppose all things change right?

I don't feel the spirit has changed Shadow, and you are always welcome to stop by at the Biology niche :)

To report the most members I have ever seen online at the same time:
There are currently 60 members and 242 guests on the boards. | Most users ever online was 385 on 12-02-2003 at 11:09 PM.

60 members!

now just wait until we break the 400 barrier :)

whatever happened to the Friday webchats (or whatever they were called)?

BTW, I followed a link re lifegazer, and got a page which looks quite different in the tone of the discussion from what I see here in PF3. Of course that may just be an artifact of the selection, but how was it different back in PF2? in PF??

I actually learned about this site through M Kaku which I first heard watching Tech Tv. He discussed his book Visions and he mentioned this site. I visited every once in a while till I finally decided to sign up.

Part of the reason I signed up is there's a lot of very knowledgeable and intelligent people here, than any other forum I've encountered. The atmosphere seems pretty laidback and there's no extremely egotistical moderators.

Now, wait till you break the 100,000 member barrier..

I necro'd this post because I think how funny the first post is. Today we hit over 4700 people on PF at a time and we are poised to break the all time number of posts a day. The record is 1834 and we are at 1698.

Haha. I remember joining a few forums back within a month or two of their creation. For a while I could read every single post that was made between visits. Boy, is that impossible now.

:smile: Yeah, that's pretty hilarious getting excited about 73 members. :biggrin: My, how this place has grown. (And I'm giving my contribution toward the post per day record before the day is over.)

Yeah, just for Moonie's sake I'll chirp up and post here. Oh... wait... are posts here in Feedback acknowledged, as opposed to the 3 or 4 thousand that I had in GD that don't count? :biggrin:

This will all result in a server overload...nothing else.

That dE_logics chap has a rather odd sense of humour, doesn't he?

At least, I assume it's a sense of humour. Maybe he just likes to post spurious comments.
