Spiders? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-27-2006, 05:17 AM

Apparantly this has been the big IM'ing talk betwen Downers.

I have discussed this with atleast 5 downers, but no one know what has happened.

Apparently I don't go to Who's Online often enough.

Perhaps the security measures have become stricter? Or the spiders have just lost interest.

I could be misremembering (ha! a new word), but I think there used to be a selection where you could filter out the guests from the Who's Online list manually. Maybe that was set to the default and the option to view guests taken away as a bandwidth saving measure. *shrugs*

I'll miss chasing the spiders to forgotten old topics.

Definitely. The spiders always seemed to be at old threads I could never find. It's always fun to read posts that are several years old.

The first time I noticed all the spiders missing, I felt baffled and a little lonely. At least I know now I'm not the only one wondering what happened...

They must've been destroyed with Shelob in the eruption of Mount Doom.
