Today
Most users ever online was 257 on Today, 11:56 AM
255 of that is Guests. I am all most positive that all of those guests were not real. Is this some kind of glitch or is someone hacking? :blink: This just puzzles me.

Dude, that's trippy. Probably a hack or something.

Mattel makes soakers? Don't they make Barbies, as well? A barbie soaker action figure would be funny.

^This was made by Superstormer. What, do you think it got here on its own?

I find it weird that they dig up really old topics and read those. It must be that they search the forums for something and they choose one of the old topics. :blink:

Oh, and Mattel make the underpowered ShieldBlasters, Vaporizer. ;) And I think I've seen or heard of an Action Man complete with soaker.

It's probably just a search engine that we haven't added to our list of search engines. If we knew the IP range and which search engine it was, we could add it so that it will appear as one user.

If it was a "hack" then what is it doing reading topics? Honestly, you shouldn't jump to such conclusions. It would be far more likely that someone would be at the log-in page and trying to hack us.

The search engines looking at topics probably is because of the site map modification I added. Apparently it will help search engines get a complete look at your forums, as most site maps help search engines get a complete look at your site.

One of those guests was me reading the mattel one because I was looking at old topics. ;) There has been a few glitches down there though.
Soak, or be soaked that is the question!
