165 viewing as I write this. Almost got up to 180.

Don't think I've ever seen it go that high.

Something on your minds tonight lurkers?

Some of them may be coming over from the Buffalo forum where Marek, Mac, Sam, and I have been entertaining the locals (and ourselves). I know someone asked a question about the JREF forum last night.

Damn it. I was hoping it was the remnants of the 9/11 troof movement regrouping for one last banzai charge.

Doesn't posting on your lurker status negate said status and render any response invalid? :closesdoorandbacksawayslowly:

Heh. One shot done.

Is that the same as putting instant coffee in a microwave? Screws up the continuum, right?

No, it's much worse. Like putting iced tea in the microwave.

I think the forum is having problems. I tried logging in but for some reason it wouldn't let me. So I was one of the many under lurker status.

edit: and remember, the CT section is actually two different sections - the CT section and its 9/11 sister section. Right now there are 121 people viewing. Let's say 60 each. Which is significantly less than what GS&P is at right now -- 87.

Or you unknowingly got caught up in an evil Buffalo-coffee-banzai-continuum-vortex thing. Better we let sound minds prevail and blame Lisa as soon as possible.

Hmmm, I wonder how smartphones and the like affect the number as well? I seem to be able to be logged in on my phone even when I'm on the PC. I wonder if that creates the illusion of lurkers.

Phantom lurkers? Careful lest this thread be moved over to the paranormal forum.

I have yet to see any proof that the Conspiracy and 9/11 sub-forum deserve any distinction from the paranormal forum. :)

The fact that the current Buffalo-coffee-iced tea-banzai-continuum-vortex-smartphone-phantom lurker-zombies theory has more than 2 players it certainly constitutes a conspiracy.

Careful, we don't want to upset the Buffalites? Buffalonians? Buffoles? Buffaloons?

I heard from a good source they might be watching us.

Right. It was Evilness that got them watching in the first place. Can't say I blame them. ;)

I'm technically not a lurker but a lurker at heart. I just feel odd monitoring hours of other people's conversations without at least occassionally announcing my presence.

I'm not really planning on going back. It's poorly moderated and because of that some pretty blatantly racist comments are left up. I don't need or want to read that kind of :talk034:.

Yeah, I think that thread is pretty much done, and I didn't really see anything else I found compelling. I promised to check in occasionally to answer questions, but I doubt I will spend too much time over there from now on.

Ah well, it was good for a change and for a chance to practice my debating skills. Such as they are.

Well I do lurk quite often; I try to only post when I think I have something to add; others might not agree that I do it quite that prudently lol

Yeah, we had some difficulties upgrading the server handling the distortion of reality where the JREF-continuum is located.. We had to put you all in a temporary freeze for a while. Sorry ´bout that.
