We did have a significant spike in traffic beginning the 4th. Sadly it crashed the server and site was down nearly all day. Fixed now but
Error was actually caused by the "most users online" being too high. Tracking that # uses lots of server memory. I had to reduce the time that it calls a user "active" so it would dump old users quicker so the most users online number would shrink. It says Dec 4th was highest (before the change) but actually today and yesterday (6&7th) were higher and the 5th was the highest.
Also had a one day bump last month from reddit that caused the same error.
Need to upgrade the server or improve site code before "active users online" can get over 600. If traffic increases too much before then I will just disable tracking it. A more important and accurate number is probably "active members" which is # of users that logged in during the past 30 days. Currently 584.
Over 50% of the people that just clicked that video came here. I wouldn't have guessed 50% would have even made it to the 3 minute mark much less follow the link after just a 5 second blurb. Effective video format.
Alex Kidd in Miracle World - Sega Master System is no longer linked from Wikipedia but it is still top 9 most played game on site. Was #1 for the first few years.
#1 is now
Super Mario World - Super Nintendo
SMW 58831 plays.
Alex 21502 plays.
Alex also had a couple years head start before SNES games were added to site. Alex is quickly falling behind. The top 4 spots are all Mario. Top 8 are all Nintendo.
