    I have a lot of things to say to Shawn also, but I will save them for our next PM war :eek: :eek: :p

    It's not that Digital Point is popular, they have some nut that posts continually about Shakria, Paris Hilton, Led Zeppelin, Elvis, Elle MacPherson, Bush & Cheney, John Kerry and argues with Compar and GTech all the time.

    Does that go to show readers of slashdot are a bit smarter than your average DPer? Who in their right mind uses the Alexa toolbar anyway?

    I like the site very much too.

    My forums don't come close to your volume of traffic. I am lucky if I get 10 posts per day. I don't know how your moderators keep up!

    Keep up the good work,
    :)

    This section can give you an overall idea on how many non members come by.

    The other day there were 79 or so actual live bodies online at the same time, I think that is the record so far, at least from what I have seen.

    A thread on it is here.

    And then 20 with "PR back Up"

    It was entertaining to see a lot of regular posters come in a few days later and start a thread asking Where PR had gone?

    Googleguy gave an explanation which was quoted here but it wasn't all that exciting. I think they were working on something else that brought it down.

    Maybe soemone will provide a link as there are too many threads to search.
