This really has me curious and I happened to do a MySQL dump yesterday to back up my database, so I decided to do another one today and compare files.

From 04/25/2006:

INSERT INTO `vb_datastore` VALUES ('maxloggedin', 'a:6:{s:9:"maxonline";i:5;s:13:"maxonlinedate";i:1144430493;s:11:"maxvisitors";i:8;s:15:"maxvisitorsdate";i:1145928403;s:10:"maxposters";i:6;s:14:"maxpostersdate";i:1145918246;}');

From 04/26/2006:

INSERT INTO `vb_datastore` VALUES ('maxloggedin', 'a:6:{s:9:"maxonline";i:5;s:13:"maxonlinedate";i:1146065294;s:10:"maxposters";i:5;s:14:"maxpostersdate";i:1146067830;s:11:"maxvisitors";i:6;s:15:"maxvisitorsdate";i:1146065007;}');

As you can see, yesterday the maxvisitors was 8 and maxposters was 6 and today they are 6 and 5.

I did a file comparison between both database dumps and there is nothing out of the ordinary - just the usual changes from new posts, events, cron jobs running, etc. No sign of hacking or any corruption that I can see.

I would love to know how these records got changed. All other stats and information are spot on as they should be, even the "most online at once" which VB itself maintains is still correct.
