cal.phonelosers.org shows that the most ever online was 265.  I don't know what was up with our huge surge from this week.  On August 9th there was no surge in the traffic on the rest of phonelosers.org. In fact, it was lower that day than the previous 2 days.  Googlebots maybe?  Someone trying to DoS attack?

That probably would have been pretty chaotic, though. 250+ people talking at the same time.

Oh, and speaking of Googlebots, I took this screenshot a while back:

I don't think I've ever actually seen it, but I get the reference and understand why that comic is hilarious.

The other day I heard that apparently spammers are linking directly to CAPTCHAs on target sites then offering free porn, all you have to do is enter the CAPTCHA on their page.

I do admire the devious and simple yet effective nature of the idea, as annoying as it is when bots show up.
