Nah Omni's record was actually 2952, dating back in December 2012. It was caused by Portal Prelude release and making Reddit front page as a result. It was downloaded like 8000 times in a week IIRC.

Their previous record was 1870 or so in late 2010 when the Casio PRIZM (the first ever backlit color screen calculator) was leaked and Omni made Slashdot headlines. Even nDoom and Super Smash Bros Open never came close to beat those records, so I guess it's hit and miss and probably depends of how popular those big blog sites are at the time (eg when Portal Prelude came out it was Reddit)

I think the highest by far was Revsoft (Zelda) or Cemetech (many hardware projects), though. It was over 1000, but back then their online list was set to a 5 minutes timespan instead of 30, so it was in fact 6000.

wow that are quite the numbers

Yeah, the infamous so called Slashdot effect, where a small site gets mentioned on a high-traffic site and the small site can't handle all the traffic from the bigger site. Omnimaga had this phenomenon at least twice.

Wow, I think that Ti-84/83's do well because most everyone has one and there are a lot of people that browse forums looking for cool games (that was what I did

)

you can also make text above your avatar, look for it in the forum profile option.

Yuki · June 01, 2015, 05:41:11 AM

Yep. Like mine, it's my real name. Well, fake real name. Real fake name? It's not my real name, anyway.

Unicorn · June 01, 2015, 05:42:36 AM

Is there a max amount of characters? If not... well....

Yuki · June 01, 2015, 05:47:40 AM

Well, I bet it shouldn't be ridiculous. Probably 2-3 lines max.

EDIT: Yeah, about 7 lines. Anyway, try to not put too much stuff in there.

If you're wondering the line I've put is:
"aka Yuki Kagayaki, also this is a super long title I wanted to check if there's actually a limit that would be pretty ridiculous if there was none well you don't know until you try eh so I'mma tryin' this thing out to see for myself lol what a ridiculous title I could write some stuff here for hours and not finish my sentence I could talk about my life if I want but I guess it could disrupt the sidebar oh well well I just wanted to say hi my name is Yuki Kagayaki and I'm a pony."
and it cut at "for myself lo".

The Slashdot effect is nowhere as strong as back in the days, though. Nowadays you would get 300 guests at once at most, if not less. It really has to be Reddit or an even more popular site where it's easy to make the front page with something that looks notable.

I think what Cumred meant is if you now have CW admin powers and delete the site or reboot the server, or at least I think (I don't know much about Linux)

Snektron · June 02, 2015, 03:25:05 PM

Super User on linux is like admin on windows. If you don't have default superuser enabled but you are in fact a superuser, you
have to type "sudo" before every command that requires super user (like starting a program with admin powers on windows)
the command alias sudo=cing makes 'cing' do the same as 'sudo'
So if you really want the computer to reboot, you can type "cing reboot", which will do the same as "sudo reboot"
