    Yeah I think we've hit the comfortable range where the forums are easy to use and you pracically know who everyone is. What I'm a bit worried about is if idiots start joining and the ratio of idiots:non-idiots starts to become unfavourable e.g. on most other successful HP forums

    It must be because of the vB, or maybe because it's Sunday; the holy day of dlp.

    Or perhaps it's both of the factors? vB in my opinion is easier to use, more professional, and all around a better experience. That combined with the fact that DLP has turned into a somewhat cult religion. :)

    Hmm, holy hell that was crazy last night. What, did we break the record three times? Maybe phpBB wasn't giving the stats out correctly? Or maybe yesterday was just a coincidence. Heh. Either way, wewt!

    Haha, my guess is pretty much the same as LR there, vB makes it much easier to use.

    It appears that the move to vbulletin was a smart one if all of this record breaking is any indication.

    it's not just the move to VB that's making the numbers go up.

    As Raven explained it on IRC, previously a user was timed out at 5 minutes of no activity. So you'd go to read a thread and you'd be counted offline by the system after 5 minutes. I know I'd time out a ton, as I'd open all windows for the new posts at once and sit and read for a half hour or so.

    Now it keeps you timed in for a bit longer, giving a far better idea of what's really going on.

    Wow, this is crazy. And awesome. I'm sure DLP will have plenty more stories to tell by the end of the year at the rate we're growing.
