The board statistics show that the "most users ever online was 267 on Jun 28 2007, 07:56AM." Why were there so many users here at that time?

An interesting question.

In those days NCCF was hosted on the old sino-economy.com domain (after it was transferred from the old China Rules site which is still on line as an archive. We were just a lot busier then and hopefully we will be again.)

Why it was so much busier then? wish I knew!!

Didn't Imp explain to you before you banned him? You need controversies to keep a discussion running.

True, but the Imp had become something of a pantomime villain, while what we need is somebody able to produce sophisticated arguments counter to the prevailing pro PRC viewpoint of this forum. It does not need to be a pro US viewpoint either, an independent pro KMT viewpoint putting forward a wholly different vision of China in its own right, should be just as effective, if not actually more effective than somebody simply arguing for the US and US values

Boy, what a chore. I feel sorry for whoever bestowed with that task

And I thought it was because we got Digged or something... Getting on the Digg.com frontpage bring tens of thousands of views and quite often will overload the server.
