    Anyone else notice that the number of registered members ratchets up like 40 a day? Is this some sort of error, or what's the story here? I think it's pretty strange...I don't SEE 40 new people here every day. I guess they could be lurking, but 40 lurkers? 40 NEW lurkers a day? That's quite a bit of skulking if you ask me...

    How do you know there's 40 new members daily?

    I just hope no one is like creating 30 different usernames so they can look like they are different people trying to promote a site. Kinda like that site recently with all that crap for sale.

    well, before, there could be a lot of new people joining in just to enter the apex wedding contest (stuffing ballots?), but now I'm not so sure...

    nah it is some issue with javascript and the layering...
    it works perfectly in ie but in netscape the text boxes will go over the layer when it is not suppose too while text is correctly under it ...
    just thinking of the line of code that reconizes if the browser is ie or netscape..

    Or who have finished a big chunk of work, and don't want to start on the next huge chunk of work. Posting makes you look busy!

    But, you don't actually have to be registered to lurk... right?

    So these people are registering with intentions to post. That's cool!
