We even had close to 3000!
The record was 1800 or something when the PRIZM news article got slashdotted.
This time it was due to Portal Prelude on Reddit. I wonder if the game will become a hit on Ticalc.org?
Also posting went down a lot after last afternoon lol. I wonder if it's people being hooked to Portal now?
inb4 people spam the entire game walkthrough/solution everywhere and spoil everything

It seems that the Portal downloads have affected other ones as well, because Illusiat 11: Kin Master Quest is getting an unusual amount of downloads for an old ASCII BASIC game. Music remained the same though, so maybe it's people finding the games through my Youtube channel (I have Illusiat vids there)

Which ones besides Clubic? I know this one did for 2 days now and visits have stayed quite high.
Actually the users online peaked over 700 for 5 days now (3 of which were over 1000 and 1 close to 3000). I wonder what will be the hosting bill lol? I know just for bandwidth, it costed Netham45 $10 last month, with only 1 day of Slashdot traffic (which was far lower than what Cemetech got a week earlier). Thankfully for December Portal zip file is very small, so it shouldn't be too bad (not even 300 MB of extra transfer for the file itself, although page loads might be a different story).

Hmmm looks like it's dropping again...
But i guess that's kinda normal, half of the guests that come around know nothing about their calc, only how to play games, so they just come and download some stuff, and then they're gone till they hear of something new...

Actually it seems to go up and down (assuming you mean the guest totals). Every morning it seems to peak. It will most likely be short-lived, though, since right now big sites are just linking to it from their front page news. Posting-wise things seems similar in general, although from experience, December is often less active than November and it goes down until March (although on years where Omni activity is almost entirely game-related, January tends to be more active).

Yeah, each time we got linked to big sites, the posting still went steady with no active new members from those sites.

An IRL friend gave me a link to a site that posted about Portal on the calc, thinking I'd be interested
Also, the news is still spreading and it is going further and further o.o Builderboy has even done interviews, and not just on TICalc o.o
Also, the OmniRPG has been getting a bunch of attention by community members. It has actually been active. To put it in perspective, My average monthly post count is about 129. As of yesterday, I am over 70 for this month, and December is usually one of my least active months o.o It has only been 6 days for me o.o
EDIT:
The average posts from July to November each month has been 3284.2. Totaling up the number of posts made by today's top 10 posters (it is 08:48 EST), there have already been 203 posts, just from them. If this rate continues, even if we average only 200 posts per day, this will still be the third most active month in the past year. This is pretty abnormal for December
