Mine and my mates site GetInspired365.com has just been featured on BBC Click - http://t.co/0OmbHSSwuk - and were staggered to see we had 250 people on our site at one point. What's the most you've had on your site? Just interested to see as means of a comparison against other sites.

By the way, if you're able to get a small mention on BBC Click, we'd highly recommend it. We've seen some great triffic and feedback since our mention.

Ten people at the same time is my max for a personal project (http://sproutsheet.com or http://sproutshit.com as the haters like to call it) when I linked it on reddit.

When one of my articles made it to the #2 spot on Hacker News, I was watching my Google Analytics Real-Time stats pretty closely. It got as high as ~700 people on at one point. (Here's the submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5062761)

We had 390 users at one point when we hit the HN frontpage for a very short time for this post

700 people on the site at one time? Or 700 for the day? 700 at the same time is incredible (to me)! You must have been nervous about your server. When we hit 250 we panicked we would go down!
