No, the high number of people online didn’t have anything to do with it. Renderosity has been increasing in traffic and in search engine crawlers. So that large number of people online (at 9255) that you noticed was because of Google and yahoo crawlers.

StaceyG: HELLO! THANKS to your WONDERFUL staff for fixing this issue so promptly! MUCH appreciated. I, too, was hit with this REDIRECT to BOOKFACE as mentioned by some above.

I've been here a few years, to the CHAGRIN of some, and could not but notice the drastic JUMP in 'viewers' online. For years, it's about 4,00 maximum. Then, a short time ago, it DOUBLES to 8,000+?

Now, it's BACK to regular viewings numbers once again.

I haven't notice any real increase in viewers up until just recently. It's been steady for a long time. Then, it suddenly DOUBLES?

I take you at your word that it had nothing to do with the above issue.

 The dramatic up and down viewing numbers simply doesn't make common sense.

But, then again, MANY here feel the same about DUMB old TallPockets. WINK.

HUGS!

My BEST to you and yours and THANKS again!
