I was just checking to see if there is anything new at Morgellons Disease Research Message Boards. At this moment, over 21,000 individuals are researching their chatbox archives. There are just over 2,000 users on that board. What is going on? Bessie

Probably the Google or Microsoft bots, they crawl the content on web sites periodically so that the content can be found in their search engines. They probably need to put a robots.txt file in the root of their site which can control the speed at which the bots crawl the site, otherwise they can bring a site to it's knees by crawling all of the links. Of course, it could have been a DOS (Denial of Service) attack but the site seems to be up and running fine so I doubt that it's that. The admins can usually look at the stats and tell that the traffic was due to bots. See www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html

Grady - Carla (moderator) explained that it is the number of individuals researching the chatbox archives. She's the one who "wowed" it in the chatbox first. I watch numbers like that all the time, ever since seektress posted the number and types of views on her site last year. (She had reported on last year's Conference in Austin, and there were somewhere between 1500 and 3000 views within 48 hours of her posting it. She also listed some of the hits - big pharma, DOD, Saudi Oil, various universities, NIH, etc.) I will find the link. Bessie

Well, that's good new then, there certainly is more and more coverage on Morgellons all of the time. Call me stupid but I'm even hopeful now the CDC actually comes out with something useful, who knows, but awareness is definitely mounting.

I just said this on my "update your puters" thread...
Remember when my "amazing glitter pix" thread with all the "chip" pix on it got put on "Coast to Coast" and my puter crashed the next day and alot of my morg pix at Simpload disappeared? That thread ended up with 24,000 something hits on it too. So beware!
I have to leave and I'll be in town for a day or two so I won't be around my puter, but I'll check in from my friends from time to time to make sure all is well here!
hugs ~~ bannanny
