Title: getting ... crowded ..... in ...... here
Post by: Flemingovia on April 30, 2007, 06:05:03 PM: We currently have 19 members viewing the board and 126 YES 126 guests

I am running out of leg room. Bloody economy regions that keep crowding people in. Mind the doors, please.

Can I sit down? I AM a senior citizen.

Post by: Allama on April 30, 2007, 06:39:09 PM: Geez, there's still 20 members and 81 guests as of this post. I'm not exactly an old timer around here, but it still seems pretty strange to me.

Post by: Allama on April 30, 2007, 06:49:32 PM: Fascinating enough to be non-member stalked by so many people? I think we should be flattered (or something).

Post by: Flemingovia on April 30, 2007, 08:29:54 PM: Presenting new legislation:

BREATHING REGULATION CODE

Because of overcrowding in the region, the following regulations will now take place:

Nations beginning with letters a to m will breathe in on Mondays, WEdnesdays and Fridays
Nations beginning with letters n to z will breathe in on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
On Sundays, guests to the region can breathe in.

Please feel free to breathe out whenever there is a space around you.

Thank you.

My dear, if I had to apologize every time I did something out of date, I'd do nothing else. So say my kids. I remember when my favorite game was Mystery Date. ;D

Oh darn it's Tuesday. I'll have to hold my breath til tomorrow. If I pass out, somebody slip an M&M in my mouth. That'll probably revive me.

Post by: Eluvatar on May 01, 2007, 09:05:07 PM: /me puts sysop hat on

The reason is simple: Google was crawling us. This is unlikely to happen again for some time. I will soon reset the record users online to the old record.
/me puts silly hat on

OMG I'm dyingg!! No... air.... NO AIR!

creepy

Post by: Sovereign Dixie on May 11, 2007, 10:28:57 PM: Actually, there *is* a reason, and it's not quite as sinister as we feared. Not long after forming the region, myself and a couple of others were also concerned by this, we did some digging, and found that alot of the "guests" were in fact search engines (I believe the one we found at that time was yahoo, but I'm sure some of the others take a crack at it as well)

Couple this with our often times massive recruitment drives, which will bring in a good number of new players checking the place out. Often times we send out over 300 recruitment telegrams per day (hell, i've probably sent out that many myself today alone).
