I was quite surprised to see the above stats.  Are we being gatecrashed by spambots again?

Very good. So maybe we are a trending forum.

I think most of the activity is because there was no PDQ posted this month . All the readers will have switched to reading the posts here for an alternative . If you look you will see what all the guests are reading . Some even printing out things .

I hadn’t thought of that; every cloud, eh?

So far we have no contributions from our many "guests" but I can recall a period when we were getting severely hacked/spammed. It got so bad I gave up using the forum entirely. I do hope that won't happen again.
