But @ what time, sounds like a possible failed attempted terorist take over from another board.maybe it Y2004, maybe the server went down and didn't recognize the members.



Oh no, those weren't guests, that was our New Years party and everyone was wearing masks and we all just looked like guests, you had to click on the guest name and highlight it like with the spoiler to find out who it really was.

It was a party, they just all disbanded when they noticed a registered member come on board.

The mystery of the hordes of guests has been solved. It appears that a Google spider is doing the rounds and busy spidering everything for reference purposes. It appears to spider with over 20 different legs all going at the same time

With a bit of luck we may yet appear on the coolest search engine on the web :)
