Therefore, it's possible (albeit, slightly unlikely) that there was a number of people who were online around midnight but never went from being inactive to being active that day. Uh...

If you click quick links at the top of your screen where it says home forum chat arcade ect.Then when the bar comes down click who's online and there ya go.
P.S. it been there a while how couldnt you notice it.

I believe this has been said before somewhere? The answer is that there were that many members online. Then there were that many guests on at that time too, which probably means, most of them were bots for like google and yahoo, including the occasion person, who doesn't sign in, who just reads posts. Or just random other people. Least I think that's what the answer was :P
