Look at the front of the forum, we had 13 people online at the same time tonight!

OK, it's not that big of deal, but it hasn't been broken for a long time.

This morning you mean (it was 10:51am). Morning (North America) is often the most busy period because it's the moment everyone is up and in front of their computer. The Aussies browse before going to bed, the Europeans browse before leaving work and we browse before going to diner.

Also, today's record was probablly more bona fide. Last time, the 11 users, at least three of them were ... um ... me. But I don't think I was any of the 13.

We also just got our 100th user, although I suspect many aren't active, or are sock puppets, etc.

A sock puppet is an additional nickname for a single member.

For instance, Tannin, Tea, CNN Sports and The Grammar Police are all sock puppets of Tony Wilson.

Corvair, GIANT, Splash, Platform, Onomatopoeic are all sock puppets of Gary Hendershot.

Bartender is the sock puppet of Buck, so is Drunken Bastard the sock puppet of Pradeep and ROCCO Sifredi the sock puppet of NRG=mc˛.

I probably forgot some, but whatever. I never remember whose sock puppet Trinton Assamouth was...

Are you sure that I'm not the sock puppet of the Bartender?

Trinton Assamouth was a blot on the good name of Sock Puppets.

I'm not too keen on the word puppet - it implies that I'm dependent on a host. I like to think that I have relative freedom. I think as Alternative Personalities we should protest the insulting moniker of “Sock Puppets”!

Are you planning to do like them (http://www.puppetsagainstbrisk.com/)?

I must protest at the degradation of the term "sock puppet" - once a precise and fitting description of the particular individuals that it was coined to describe, but now, apparently, becoming a term of general use to describe any common or garden alias.

I am not a sock puppet.
