#234552 - 22/09/2004 00:30 Suddenly lots of BBS viewers?
FireFox31 pooh-bah Registered: 19/09/2002 Posts: 2494 Loc: East Coast, USA	Is it just me, but tonight (right now) there seems to be tons of anonymous viewers on the BBS. 24 in For Sale and 10 in Installation Notes? Sure, a bunch of registered users in General and Off Topic, but I've never noticed anonymous usage up that high, and I usually check this time of night. Did we get some form of "slash dotted"? Mentioned in a Karma/Carbon/Chroma news bit? Hm...... _________________________ - FireFox31 110gig MKIIa (30+80), Eutronix lights, 32 meg stacked RAM, Filener orange gel lens, Greenlights Lit Buttons green set

Well, I hope the spiders manage to get one of Rob's black docks that they were so fiercely viewing over in For Sale. _________________________ - FireFox31 110gig MKIIa (30+80), Eutronix lights, 32 meg stacked RAM, Filener orange gel lens, Greenlights Lit Buttons green set
