Retro Fresh Having 16000 users online?

[Zombie]

Obviously this is not correct as iv just gone on fresh to see but they are claiming to have 16k Users online (16.000) is this because they know fresh is slowly dying so they have to lie about there user count??? what do you think??

Most likely a DDOS attack.

Most likely a DDOS attack.

Either that or hes got a screw loose and faked his usercount can be done.

Likely that someone is flooding their emulator port or user sessions are being glitched as they log into the client, highly doubt that anyone would boost their user count that high.

he wouldn't fake his user count he isn't zabbo

yeah attacking an emulators port will do this, depending on the emulator..

Didn't even occur to me that it could be a DDoS attack, but that makes a lot more sense than fresh faking their usercount.

Yes, we fake our usercount to 16K because we decided that is the most believable number.
