So what happened?
According to the stats at the bottom of the home page at 12.43 there were 283 people on line.
Probably one of the times Rob got banned and everyone turned up to see what all the fuss was. 
I had a feeling it might be something like that.
It wasn’t, I was kidding. It was some kind of attack that a lot of PHP boards were suffering at the time and it lead to those figures.
