... forgot to mention this. We broke a message board record on Thursday at 3:18 
in the morning (Eastern time), which to most, is rather late Wednesday night. I 
didn't notice it myself. We had 156 visitors. 

I really don't know what to make of it. It's like we get hit with a group of 
people who come and go at regular intervals. During the same week there can be 
as low as 1-5 visitors. Very strange how these "waves" hit. Also, judging by 
the lateness of the waves, it appears we are most popular outside of the United 
States. (Surprise, surpise. Americans are, in general, philosophically barren) 

I think the board counts ip address, not "hits" (browser windows). But I'm not 
sure. It's conceivable that, if it only counts browser windows, that some could 
have multiple windows open. Some visitors are spammers trying to break in. But 
those "flies" are generally low in number. I've seen what people look at during 
high waves of numbers -- so I know the total this week is not caused by 
spammers. But I just don't know if its 156 distinct ips or open windows. (I'm 
going to write to fudforum today to see.) 

Regards.
