October that month was busy because of a shit storm. The first thread in November tells you about it: Whats happening to the threads
The year after, the old code was crashing all the time, which is why there are such lower numbers then. We're already trending back up towards those old figures, which isn't bad considering everyone had to re-register, and there was effectively a two-month outage at teh end of the year.

I do not remember anything happening as described in "Whats happening to the threads." I must have been away for some time.

in 10/2005 ken chu and i met in real life, and thereafter talked on the phone instead of clogging up ilx threads with our chatter. that's 100% true.

That was also about two months after John Cena, Pimp My Ride and Hair Dye forced ended up leaving the whole site noindex, nofollow.
