At the bottom of the forum page there's all that information about who's online, newest member, and a bunch of other stuff, but one thing always catches my eyes and it's eating me up inside:

Most users ever online was 3600 on Thu Jun 21, 2007 10:34 am

What happened that day to have 3600 people on at the same time? The most I've ever seen is about 400 and on average it's about 200-300 depending on the time of day at a time.

Did a company close down, a big show was licensed, a huge interview, what? I just really want to know why?

It is such an exact number I'd like to believe it is just an glitch. Either that or there were even more but it tops out at 3600.

None of the news or articles from June 21, 2007 seem to be of anything that's too exciting.

ADV Acquires Makoto Shinkai's 5cm Per Second has a thread that has 34 posts in it. That's the largest thread for any of the threads for the items from that day.

An influx of spambots, perhaps? I seem to recall something like that happening a couple of years ago. That might explain the nice round number too.
