Activity: 9 members and 201 visitors online // Stats: 6,105 members

9 members online... sounds about right.  But 201 visitors?!?!?  Who are all of you people?

And 6,105 registered memebers?!?!?  Wow, that's crazy... I mean sure, you have to subtract one or two for the multiple timboxstuffes we have, and multiple Janskeets and Johhny5/Darth Ideas.  And the Adamwankenobis, oh the adamwankenobis.... still, that's at least 6,000... right?

201 visitors...

The word "visitors" sounds rather ominous... like lifeforms from another planet...

That is kind of creepy... to think that everything we post here is being read by hundreds of visitors... who just lurk... with nothing better to do than read our posts... lurking... too afraid to join in on the fun and post themselves... just lurking... too lazy to register... but content to lurk... maybe OT.com is kind of like a reality TV show... only not a TV show. Hey, wait a minute... a reality TV show staring OT.com's regular off-topic members, how crazy would that be! Just read the nonsense that goes on here, and imagine it live action! Sure to rake in the ratings, no doubt about it. Sooo, 201 visitors, do any of you happen to be TV execs? ;)

Xhonzi, you also have to substract all those crazy orcs that joined just to invade, the mass quantity of socks the off-topic guys make to amuse themselves, all those guys who register, make "Hi" posts, introduce themselves, then never even bother to login or post ever again, and the hordes who registered just to inquire via PM how they could buy signed copies of Adywan's SW:R, or registered for other reasons related to SW:R, such as to wine about flippers or changes made or not made that they like/hate and have never even looked at another thread let alone considered posting in one. Plus all those guys we lost during the FE rift... not to mention the countless and ever increasing number of regulars and casual posters alike who have simply lost interest in this place over the course of the years and moved and will never be back.

Yeah, let's have more members - especially more weirdos in the off-topic section.

That's right, we need more Fink's.

Though, honestly, what we really need are more Gaffer Tapes. That way we can all stop fighting over him. Of course, hot, mild mannered, male lesbians are hard to come by, so this is only a dream. Alas, there will never be more than one Gaffer Tape...

This ain't The Warriors, kid. I think it's a bit more like Star Wars. Just sayin'.

Man it's ironic I'm calling someone a kid.

Yeah. It is.

I feel like an action hero when I do.... D: that's not helping my case is it?

I guess we also have to subtract the WoW invading horde too...  maybe our numbers aren't really that high...

I kind of feel like a celebrity.

Me too!

Yeah, Lurkers... make some fanart of me!

I mentioned the WoW invading horde. That was the orc invasion that I mentioned.

Yeah, I guess you did.  Funny, because I looked twice to make sure I didn't miss it.

Maybe you are not used to "lifeless WoW nerd" and "orc" being synonyms?

You're right.  There will never be more than one me...

HOWEVER, I am currently taking applications for Diet Gaffer Tape, Gaffer Tape Zero, Gaffer Tape Caffeine Free, and New (But Not As Popular) Gaffer Tape.  All similar... but not nearly as satisfying.  8)

Exactly. All similar, but not nearly as satisfying...

If it isn't the real Gaff, it just isn't worth the effort. My heart only belongs to the real Gaffer Tape.

Xhonzi, wait! I still didn't mean it! It was a slip of the tongue!

Taken! Although seriously, I've never understood why this forum requires white borders for some avatars and not others. As mine is the same size, but with the bigger border.

hey, you have the same avatar problem too! Hi sock!

This is getting ridiculous. Time for bed.

Haha, I knew it wouldn't take long!

Indeed.

Eh, I think I'm going to go ahead and label this cloning experiment as a complete success and use this opportunity to take a much-needed vacation, letting my clones do all my usual duties here for me.  What could possibly go wrong?

So let the speculation begin - who is Diet Gaffer Tape?

My money's on Ric Olie.

Wouldn't that be like betting against your own team?
