Something weird happened on Sun Sims today. At this moment, the front page is showing: "Most users ever online was 45, Today at 03:35 PM."
That would be 3:35 PM US Central Daylight Time.
I noticed part of the anomaly when there were 26 users signed on, consisting of me and 25 guests; and 24 of the guests were reading the
Rules and Community Standards. We sometimes have half a dozen folks surfing by at any one time but I've never seen much more than that, and
nobody bothers to read the rules, so this is a really strange phenomenon. I don't know of any event elsewhere on the net that would have caused it.
What was that all about? A weak attempt at a denial-of-service attack? Did we get mentioned on slashdot? Did some Internet surfers get stuck in a standing wave? Perhaps a spammer testing IP masking? Have we blundered into a high ranking on some search engine?
What the
heck would cause 45 people to suddenly want to read Sun Sims's rules?
