Don't forget about those that whine and cry because a feature they deem a requirement is missing.

Given all the hype and build up, that will be considerable.
EPIC FAIL! It doesn't make coffee and cure cancer!
You were wrong last time, so I'll say around 11,000.
Yeah, I was UNDER by about 3,000! I think this event will be much, much bigger for MR.
Good Luck to all the Mods tomorrow...
I remember the days when the active users were listed at the bottom of the threads.
Yeah, this is much bigger... Even the iPhone didn't have as much hype as this mythical iTablet/iSlate/iProphecy/iDoEverythingYouCouldEverWantAndMore! I bet there will be more people and visitors just because of the people who will inevitably come here to whinge and say that the aforementioned product doesn't make their bed and the fact that they cannot procreate with the device and have little iPod touches!
Just an idea to the mods: Maybe if people sign up tomorrow make it so their first post has to be moderated, just as there will also inevitably be trolls and idiots who think that Macs are the Devil incarnate! Make it so the members with a number (I don't know the official name, just 6502 and up) can approve the post. I don't know if this is allowed in the forum software though.
Just an idea!

Looks like the record still stands. I only checked in for a moment yesterday and there were over 18,000 online. Any idea what the peak tally was?
Most users ever online was 31,558, Today at 02:56 PM.
The record has been toppled. Well done MR. Congrats. I'm sure the mods earned their hefty salaries today!

Probably wouldn't have beat the record. The whiners are out in droves. MR turned into a support group at 2:56PM.
Wow. That's a whole lot of people. I thought this might happen following his passing.
Wow. I'm surprised by this because of the time. Anybody know what could have been going on then? Another link from a prominent site? Other ideas? It was in the middle of the night EST.
There are a few members - and interested non-members - on other continents.
I am still amazed as just from my experience with the forums, the majority of members tend to be from the US and I would think that the same would apply to visitors
You'd be surprised at the number of people from other countries that come in the later hours. I've seen it happen day after day. Locations like U.K start opposing up all over the place.
