Let's try for a record number of h2g2 researchers on line! Throughout the day, please check how many are on line, and report here. I expect most will be visiting some bit of the party, so lets try for a record number of guests.
I looked at 6am BST and there were 16.
It's just past 9am BST and there are 26 logged on.

Um, is that from the "Who's online" thing? I have my suspicions that it's more of a "Most recently online" thing: this site was so busy over lunchtime that I can't believe there were fewer than 50 people online, which is what it was claiming. (I've never seen it report more than 50 people.)

It's been to 80, I've suffered when it did though.

You'll need it to cope with the 'fluttering eyelashes shyly' over at http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=38447&thread=49541

It peaked at 65 in the last hour, but everything is s o s l o w!

And one of them is DNA! Greetings Douglas, and thanks from all the fish!
However.... I have noticed that if you have two researchers on the same computer (lets be honest and call them one researcher!) then both identities show up.

But 21.33 BST (we have summer time here now, despite the rain!) Greetings to all researchers in Pakistan!
The next morning

Did it just get too full, (and s l o w ) to count, or did anyone see more than 65?
