Totally OT but why were there so many users online on 17th August?
I remember the QF grounding was some sort of record but I cannot for the life of me think of anything momentous on August 17 this year ?
$444 LAX fares ? (Thought this was way earlier)

July 1 was the USD444's...

The first of two bombings in Bangkok happened that day.

I am not sure if that is the reason for the surge, but all I can think of.

Edit: That can't be it as PF's screenshot shows the surge as being a couple of hours before it happened.

Still can't think of anything as big to an AFF'er as the QF grounding

Velocity Amex signups??

There are two Amex Velocity threads on AFF so those were going crazy in August.

IIRC the record has been broken a number of times this year.

They clearly came to read my joke about toasters.
