Most online record was beaten!

Most Online Ever: 125 (17-01-2013, 11:57:36)
Last record was 117 if I remember right. Is this a trend of having most people online in the middle of January?

[Smiley]

Seems to have been 125.

Edit: Aaaand after re-reading your post... :stern:

[Zhs2]

I blame spambots.

And people with multiple personality disorders.  We count as seven, for starters, don't we?  Speak for yourself.  You're so argumentative.  No, we're not.  Shut up.

Looks, like these thing is turned the world around... =)

Someone on r/gaming made a post about the hack there, and it got quite a large amount of attention. The amount of stress that resulted from the increased traffic caused the forum to screw up for a little while. So if you were trying to post earlier and were wondering why it wasn't working, there ya go!

Curse these people, trying to sneak into our little corner of the internet. :^_^:

A contest which brings us hacks with all kinds of new things and interesting ideas? Barely a blip. A hack that turns the original game 90 degrees? OMG EVERYONE COME SEE THIS!!!1111!

I just have to laugh at things sometimes.

It also got featured on Kotaku. Considering that a Kotaku link often brings down heftier sites, I'm not surprised.

New stuff is just too scary~

I like how this happened in January again.

[PKstarship]

I bet Metconst is gonna explode with visitors when Metroid Rogue Dawn is released, add then explode yet again when X-Fusion is released :yay:

[Quietus]

And a veritable mushroom cloud will appear in 2032. :cool:

[biospark]

If only I could be assured this kind of attention when I release my editor.

[Quietus]

Only one person drives the hype train. We just add the carriages. :^_^:

Just release a Fusion hack alongside the editor where the game is rotated.

[Steel Sparkle]

The hype trains for future releases are real. I think X-Fustion or Phazon 0.4 are gonna be the next games that break the record. Who knows. Guess we will find out! :)

Can everybody respect Arrival for a short amount of time so we can peak 500+ members on at once? :^_^:

Honestly im looking forward to that to. I still remember what you want me to do :3
I can't wait to see what this year holds in store :3

[A Dummy]

I know I'm still quietly anticipating Arrival, but I've still got plenty of other hacks to play and finish.

I'm kinda surprised that SM:Rotation is what got a lot of peoples attention, honestly I thought Project Base was a way bigger deal when I found out about it.
Just the possibilities it created for designing new hacks around it,(It made Hyper Metroid possible for starters.) and the fact that it felt like what someone might expect to see from Metroid on a modern platform, while still somehow doing it all within the limitations of what an SNES could do.

I guess it just goes to show that if you want to get the internets attention, just do something silly.
Maybe we could pass 1000 online at once by making a hack that replaces all the vanilla sounds with fart versions of all the sounds, or something that turns Samus's running animation into a skipping animation.

[Quietus]

I'm also still waiting for the arrival of Arrival. :^_^:

As it happens, so am I! I haven't gotten anything back from JAM in a while. It's kinda worrying me actually.  :yay:

[A Dummy]

I think JAM has been helping with Metroid Mission Rescue, which is partially why he's taking awhile for Arrival,
and probably some personal projects of his own as well that he's been working on, like SMILE JX.
Such a hacking trooper we have here, helping out other people with their hacks!

[Quietus]

Truly, the JAMPION. :^_^:
