Damn. I missed it too... Aww.

It really loads though, like twice the previous record!

Hmm... would the adminies have a list of the people on then?

trolls' bane · 09-25-2004, 04:11 PM

It'd be cool if they did. They could post all of them in a thread they make so people can see fi they were on, if they did.

Janny · 09-25-2004, 04:14 PM

Yeah, it just seemed like the kind of thing an admin with savvy could do... bust into the right file and hey presto. Yes, the terms give it away... I can do nothing but type...

Telcontar_Dunedain · 09-26-2004, 03:35 AM

I know I wasn't on

. I signed off half an hour before.

I suspect it was just a swarm of bots descending on us like mad.

Insidious Rex · 09-27-2004, 01:17 PM

Yeah. Somebody must have used the words "Britanny Spears" and "Nude" in the same sentence or something. does it every time...

Aw dang. Why can't we have a proper record?

Where do these bots come from anyway?
Britney Spears... nude!? *goes blind*

Insidious Rex · 09-28-2004, 08:30 PM

thats right keep it up and see what happens...

Generally they come from search engines. its rare a place like this would get flooded with search bots and spiders because we talk about such mundane stuff and we dont attach files that would draw the attention of millions of people really. so its always interesting to see what attracts the bots when we do get hit.

I don't think we had a 'proper' record for the last three records in a row.

Sunny!!! Flush the box! and:

I shouldn't stoop to deal with that!!! I'm one of the elite 42 political Gin and Tonics in the whole country!!! Bow down before oh now G&T one!

Dear normal reader, the above should make no sense

sun-star · 09-30-2004, 03:32 PM

The above made no sense to me either, G & T.

Janny · 10-01-2004, 10:26 AM

Nope.

**Nurvingiel** · 11-13-2004, 12:15 PM

JD flush yer PM box please.

(You can always delete everything in "Sent Messages", that should free up a lot of room, I know you like to store old messages...)

BeardofPants · 11-13-2004, 03:03 PM

And you can always download old messages now. I think there's three formats you can download them as. Hoorah for VB upgrades!

I do download them - but I'cve been too lazy to organize them. I wish they had a better naming convention when they download them - so it actually created an "intelligent" name - like the person show sent the pm or who it was sent to, the date and time sent. But that would make saving them too easy then.

- instead I have to override the stupid file name it creates (which is based on the current date - regardless of when it was sent). I think this belongs in the damn vent.

And Nurv - you have my e-mail address too. You know to send me e-mails instead.

**Nurvingiel** · 11-14-2004, 07:53 AM

I know... I'm such a bad emailer, and such a good PMer! I downloaded some PMs too so let's see if I can make sense of them. I forget what I was going to say now anyway...

***Earniel*** · 01-30-2005, 10:24 AM

Nurv, care to clean out your inbox?

**Nurvingiel** · 01-30-2005, 11:06 AM

Oops, all clean now.

Man I send/receive a lot of PMs sometimes.
