Under the red and blue mask, I bet we find a mod...

Hmmm...

In the profile, under occupation it says, "Holding the site together."

That couldn't possibly mean that even our fearless leader would engage in such tom-foolery his ownself...

...could it?

(Then again, it might have been the elusive and ever mischievous Underhill...
but, then again, that spider seems to be wearing a tiara...
but, then again, it seems rather...gray...
is that a saucepan I see in the web...)

Ah! There they are. Perhaps they are nocturnal after all.

The Spiders

Basically, these spiders are happy little creations that crawl around webpages to help build search engines. When our own resident Inky said they're doing their best to keep the 'Downs in great shape, he's kind of right. With The Barrowdowns being found through more search engines, more people will be on here, and so by default, more people will be donating money.

Here's a question, Inky... what's your real identity?

I'll leave you to keep guessing.

*Ahem!*

I mean, how dare you dispute my spidery ways! Keep this up and I will dabble with your posts, young lady.

I see you've invited your cousin's the MSNbot and askjeeves spiders to join you! WE'RE BEING INVADED, we'll have to get all the Gamgee's for this invasion.

I note it posts at what would be "just finished work time for a Brit" or "lunchtime for East Coast America /Canada" which may be a clue. And I think I would guess a Brit..... But I think it is possible to analyse writing (and I mean content not handwriting) to ID wok. But I doubt we have enough to go on yet.

More spiders?
Most users ever...yesterday, 335!
Now there are Google Spiders and the very alliterative Speedy Spider Spider.
I never kill spiders, I just transfer them to my garden. However, I don't think I could cope with 335 all at once.

Ooh, it's a mystery! *dons Sherlock Holmes hat*

Should be interesting to see if we can figure it out... any computer-savvy members know how to find a user's IP address?

Well, that would narrow the field of potential candidates...considerably.

As far as I know there is only one Brit moderator.

However, there are two in Germany, which is not so very far off on time that it would be impossible for a small piece of evening mischief.

There is one mod that I know for certain who lives on the east coast of the US. He can occasionally be a bit...rascally.

However, going by your theory, that would eliminate the mod that I thought was doing it because I think he lives in entirely the wrong place.
