So what was happening online on 07-24-2002 at 05:04 PM, that there were the most users ever on IRC, which was 610?

Was it a free give away?

 

[Eric Appel]

Yes...we were giving away free Journal space.

 

[LuluB]

it was also my 27th birthday

 

[Rob Webber]

I think new UCB Harold Team members were being announced.

 

[LuluB]

i think people were wishing me a happy birthday.

 

[Dunford]

Wasn't that the day of the Britney Spears online chat?

 

[mullaney]

That was the day we announced the "Win a date with Mullaney" contest.

Actually, then marks the time at which the most amount of people were on the site, most likely driven here because of Ali Davis's Porn Clerk Journals.

That's a lie. Nobody ever really came here because of Ali's journals. They were here to answer the thread "Students of Mullaney Who Have Dated Ptolemy."

 

[LuluB]

no, guys, i really think it was because of my birthday.

[spacedani]

They're all liars. It was that exclusive streaming video I put up, "Gest Minelli sex tape."

 

[tombuazit]

I was here to see if I won a date with mullaney, so that we could make our own "gest minelli sex tape" and send it to LuluB for her b-day.

but alas I didn't win, so I had to visit my dear porn clerk.

 

[stevemw]

No seriously, what was it? When new Harold teams were being announced?

 

[Sean_Taylor]

If you remember 07-24-2002 at 05:04 PM, you probably weren't there.

 

[mullaney]

Ben speaks the truth.

And I was definitely there. I was freaking out about my bandwidth at the time.

 

[tombuazit]

but the question was, Why were so many people here?? Ben says that it was because it was the most amount of people here, but I ask again why?? Was it because of Ali??

 

[dkois]

It was because Ali was on NPR.

truth hurtz

 

[mullaney]

Actually, the bump happened a few days after the NPR thing when it got linked on a couple big web sites and made the Daypop Top 40.
