That's nearly as many as I saw the other day. 22,500 was the top I noticed on event day.

Has the "Subscribed Threads" link at the top of the forums disappeared for just me, or for everyone?

The forums are in a reduced state to cope with the recent number of users. It should return to normal soon.

The record was set in 2011, that article was from 2008 so that wasn't it. It was, however, the day that iCloud was first launched and pushed to all users. iOS 5 was also available and iMessage was first introduced. It was also the week after Steve Jobs passed away.
