Either that or Lou was showing DWT off at a Mousefest meeting this morning! :hurray:
We will just pretend it was the later, Mandabella. :grin: I like that reason better!
Of course! What else would it be?Quote:

Thanx for the update, Brian. Now if we can only get all the members to post. From my crude calculations, about 73% (660) have never posted once on the site and only 38 members have over 100 posts. In addition (pun intended), I still can't figure out how 340+ members were visiting the site at one time, when 10-15 seems to be the norm. I know Lou has said something about some kind of software update going on that causes more members signed in to be listed, but could it be one of the 999 grim grinning ghosts or Stitch having some fun? That sounds more interesting that "bots."
Also there are 'Guests' that are counted in the total. Though I don't think it is that many, any user not logged in would be counted as a guest as well as those not registered.
It must have been my 626 cousins logging in.
