Woa - did any of you ever check out how many guests are on this board? There are usually 30 or 40 - but right now there are 120! I hope you are all enjoying the info. But it is creeping me out a little.

I just logged on and read this - 120 - wow. I wanted to see that BIG number for myself and scrolled down. Only 73, then it dawned on me - I forgot about my time zone difference! What is it that feels a little creepie to you? Just wondering.

Kinda feels like you are being looked at by a peeping Tom.....

TOTALLY Joking LOL... I opened this thinking Gina was having a HUGE party!

Hows the walking going girlfriend??

I agree with Cindy - like all these people are watching us. I don't know how to explain it. I mean - I'm into it as I remember signing in as a guest my first time, but I it gives me pause when I am going to post something personal, you know??

I forget to check.... I figure if they arent into it enough to actually have a name.. then.. they probably arent paying attention to the personal stuff..

The walking is going great.. living room to bathroom.. repeat.. lol. Tilly (my pouch) is NOT having a good day..

But one day out of hell week.. guess I cant complain... tomorrow I have a walking date..

I Admin on a couple of other non-related forums... many times when we have a huge number of "guests" showing, it's search engine spiders out looking for hits. Once in awhile, two or three IP addresses show up as dozens of different "guests" at the same time when they should only show once each, and I think sometimes there's a glitch in the system that causes that. If we could see the online list here (I mean the complete list, with members, anonymous members, and guests) I bet we'd see that they're not all unique visitors and probably a lot of them are search engines.

Well that would make some of us feel a little better! I thought about what Gina, Jen and Cindy said when explaining the "creepy feelings". The more I thought about it, the more it felt like strangers would be looking into my underwear drawer! So, I do understand it. Then I thought about a class I took at work called 'Netiquette'. All about what we write in emails and online. That class convinced me to put nothing out there you wouldn't want plastered on every billboard, TV and the internet. So I really try and keep my 'underwear' folded and neat. But ya know, it's still my underwear they're pawing through!

And.. if you were in on the panty exchange.. that could be a LOT of underwear *grins*

Just my two cents here... Not everyone is here for support, and those guests are obviously here just for information. That is what I use the board for information to help me with the problems I have. I don't care if someone is reading one of my posts it's information. If you have issues with them reading your posts then you shouldn't post the information. Again just my two cents and my own opinion. Janie
