Through the magic of internet it is possible to retrieve the past of the web but I came across something really odd when I went up The Sonic Community.

Mainpage :

Spoiler:

This is dated as 2nd of May 2009.

According to Zezima (Forum Creator) as I did a bit of research he said this was 1 month after the website was created - But I believe he's mistaken there in what he said as his join date is said to be in 2008 on the website or maybe he wqas creating it a long time before he made it public'

So they really had 226 Users and 22k Messages by one Month? You Serious?

(To these who think this is a mistake then I checked other dates that were further on the timeline so I can almost guarantee you that these are the proper stats for that website.)

(Well Links and images are constantly changed so you could never recover them but that dosen't matter hence I'm talking about these stats)

And I found this on TheSonicCommunity - Hidden somewhere in the files as proof, The creator of the image is Zezima himself.

Spoiler:

Edit : He created a topic called 'The Time Capsule' which uses that and allows you to explore the old TSC.

^{Anyways I wonder how people do things like this, it seems to me that it was 226 TheChaosTriggers at that time since TheChaosTrigger managed to get 1100 Posts in 9 Days.}

I found a forum Statistic somewhere on the web with the amount of posts for each website Dated 8th June 2012:
