Yeah I've noticed them too, they've been reading up on us. I mean they're really did some digging too cause some of the topics they've pulled up and really, really old. Has brought back some great memories for me though :lol: I'm wondering if it is prospective new members or perhaps some of those people who've been in our regions on NS but never actually became members of the forums. I've actually been doing some recruiting, not sure how entirely successful its been as I've not actually contacted new nations I just posted an Ad on the NS forums and have been "bumping" it from time to time. |

Before opening this thread, my first thought was NSA... Since NH implied something similar in the OP, I don't feel like I've done a good job being witty. |

We currently have 90 guests visiting. They're looking at very random posts, most of which are very old, both in the NS forums and the Off Topic forums. Some of the threads are from 2004 and 2005. Each guest visits one topic and sits there for 10 minutes until it falls off the active user list. Strange Edited by meh, Jul 10 2013, 05:49 PM.

I think its, as Scy said earlier, the webs spiders. Especially, as you said, they seem to be interested in really, REALLY old topics and stories. |

Well it might not all be spiders, some could be actual players from our regions (people who haven't actually signed up for the forums) who are simply trying to get a feel for how we operate by reading some of our older stuff. However, if I had to put money on it, I imagine the vast majority are these wed spiders. |

Posted Image You know I comfort myself with the thought that without these little failures of mine, these forums wouldn't be as memorable. :shy: |
