Anything special happened on 9th August this year?

[#1]

From the forum stats I noticed that the most users online (so far) was in August this year.
It states 03:20! Were there really that many on at that hour of the morning or is that when the data was compiled? either way, what happen to bring so many to the fold that day?
Just curious...
