Wasn't this question already answered? Anyway, from the last thread like this, I can remember that the reason was that the M6 forums went down and everyone came here.

from New York Times, "On This Day"

November 27 2008 Iraq's parliament approved a pact requiring all U.S. troops to be out of the country by Jan. 1, 2012.

Maybe we were all celebrating "Mission Accomplished".

From Wikipedia, November 27:

Christian Feast Day:

• Barlaam and Josaphat, the Christianized version of Buddha
• Congar of Congresbury
• Facundus and Primitivus
• Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal (Roman Catholic)
• Vergilius of Salzburg

Publications Day (Church of Scientology)

Plenty of reasons to celebrate there, whether you are a Christianized Buddha, a holder of a Miraculous Medal, or the proud owner of a Ron Hubbard publication.

I think it probably had more to do with M6 forum crashing. I'm sure most of those users were guests, I've never seen more than 400 members or so online in a 24 hour period. We usually average around 350 +/- members visiting the site daily and many more guests than that.
