<div class="IPBDescription">lots of guests lately</div>Everytime I've been on recently we are about 3:1 to 5:1 guests to forum board members. This seems like a lot. I guess my point is that there is a large portion of the population here which is reading what you all say even though they don't respond. Like a silent audience.

    meh, they're harmless and like someone said half of them are probably people who just didn't log in :3

    Moq's piqued my curiosity though... who are those attention lovers with the vicious fanclubs? I don't think I've seen that kind of thing on the board, though admittedly I do stay away from topics with people's names in them (unless it's my name of course or it's a happy birthday one :p ).

    Didn't you request to have it reset? (I remember there were a number of admins that did it at the same time as well, due to people getting into E-Wang contests about their post count, and problems with spamming). esuna I know ended up with a post count... change, not a reset.


    Oh, and they are all probably lurking b/c of the release of 3.2

    In fact, anyone viewing ANY page on UWE.com counts as a guest I think.

    Considering that every post of you, does contain the boobies smiley:3 you cannot be female, cause females don't like boobies. In fact, they do not even like their own or else, they wouldn't worry about covering them up that much.
