Over 500 members

Way to go ATS members.
I just saw this on the stats page

"Who's On - There are 538 registered members browsing AboveTopSecret.com domains."

I actually saw 545 earlier.
I've only been here a short time but I've never seen over 500 members at the same time.
I doubt that it's a record but still.

So congrats ATS staff and and members alike.

Does anyone know what the actual record is for how many members are logged in at the same time?

I can see this on the board homepage:

Most total registered members online all at once: 557 on Oct 6 2008 @ 20:30 GMT

...so I guess the record is 557, set today.

Hooray! Just goes to show you how many people are 'in the know'.

But that's registered users right? How about visitors... any records of note there?

WOW thats alot of people

Funny since its been a while since I last was on...

oops. see a one liner.

*Waves Hi* to everyone...

Nice bunch a peeps...!

And there's that leap frog crazy wolf that kills me every time I see it!

New record as we speak:

"Most total registered members online all at once: 573 on Oct 6 2008 @ 21:30 GMT"

I've been speaking to some of the staff about these new records that were set today.
Understandably, they are not popping the champaign.
There is a bittersweet element associated with the volume of logged members.
For if it wasn't for these troubling times surely the volume would be less.
And everyone here would rather we had less members on and for the world to be less uncertain.

So though it may be inappropriate to jump for joy, it is not inappropriate to be proud in acknowledgeing this milestone. For we have a place to dwell, share, speak, learn freely.

And this where WE find comfort and freedom in ever increasing numbers.

Just checked the stats again:

In the previous 6 hours there have been 2,317 members on AboveTopSecret.com domains.
Most total registered members online all at once: 573 on Oct 6 2008 @ 21:30 GMT
Most registered users ever on ATS in one day: 4,146 on Aug 16 2008 @ 00:10 GMT
Most new posts on ATS in one 24-hour period: 7,836 on Aug 12 2008 @ 02:30 GMT

And I have to say, it is bittersweet. I don't think it's coincidence that the highest numbers were right after the NYSE closed today.

But ATS should be very proud for becoming someplace that so many come to for information. And for being a source of community to people watching the confusion out in the real world.

Thanks, ATS

Why is it inappropriate, I have been telling severals of people to come here to find out what is really going on in the world. An informed populace is a stronger populace.

I think you misunderstood what I was say saying.
The members of staff to whom I was speaking conveyed to me that they felt it is inappropriate to "jump for joy" when they believe that the reason for the records set today was based on what is bad news and trying times for all of us.

Acknowledgement and appreciation, yes.
Toga party, not today.

That's all.

Though it's true that a lot of people are concerned, it's still heartening to see they are actually looking for answers instead of just swallowing the party line.

Now that we got them here, lets ejumacate'em

onthe dairy farm i grew up on...
there were only 60 cows to milk and clean out the gutter after,


500 is a much larger number of tail raisers

"Ejumacate" them?
How do we do that from here?
Surely they have to self-ejumacate.

Let's all ejumacate!

I'll be right back.

I'm just the idea guy, I leave it to the rest of you to get-r-done.

Any hoot, I just wanted to give big ups to everyone who participated on this historic day.

Cheers!

IF all 500 members gave me a 100 points id have 50.000

Genius

We're on our way to one hell of a record-breaking day.

The real-time Google AdSense page-view data shows just over 200,000 page-views so far... those are pages with Google ads displayed to non-members... which is the highest single-day number they have on record for us. AND HERE's THE THING: the Google Analytics data runs on West-Coast time... so there are four more hours, two of which are our peak traffic hours, left to go.

Keep your eyes on that QuantCast number.
