    Default 6/23/2009?

    This question will probably be answered quickly by one of the MODS, so unless one of the 1375 people involved on that date would like to reminesce, could someone refresh my memory as to what took place that day? Full moon and everyone had insomnia? That is a whole bunch of people up at 3:17 a.m.

    Many thanks...

    Thanks Niko...

    But was it just a coincedence, or were people alarmed/talking/wondering about something that was going on?
    Earthquake? Tornado? etc...

    probably a coincidence or even a glitch in the forum.
    Note that anytime you see X number of online users that includes search engines and bots.

    I was one of the ones online...I wasn't/hadn't been sleeping since the October before...08'. That's when everyone's financial world and security went to crap...between end of 08 and 09. People were getting laid off...SO MANY MANY posts about being laid off...hubby laid off..will I be laid off. Stockpiling posts upon posts.
    Fear...pure fear and couldn't sleep. I lived on here probably 20/7. I went once 3 days and forgot to eat. Yeah, fear and worry and wanting to be with other people/friends

    You also have to remember Russ that was a time of lay offs and fear everywhere...I was on that late alot and there were always people on scared.
    Maybe some search engines/bot but mostly people...I truly believe this.
    Also have to take into consideration time differences...it's 8pm here but 5 in Ca...7 in Nashville etc..3:17 is a variety of times depending on where you are

    Thanks Russ and Niko...

    I honestly thought that it might be related to the economy. It did/was/is still hurting a lot of us.

    Thoughts and prayers to all...
