At the moment there are 62 "guests" looking in on our little community. How nice it would be if some of them could just say hello. This forum is kept ticking over by just a handful of people. If someone goes away on holiday, it gets awfully quiet sometimes.

So if you have registered, but have never posted anything, why not take the plunge? Just a brief hello would do to break the ice - or perhaps a comment on something that has been posted already. There are plenty of different topics to choose from. Or play one of the games in Mornington Crescent. Or if you feel daring, start a topic of your own.

A big prize awaits the first person to break the silence.

Dai, I think this was discussed before and I believe the conclusion was that these are from computer-generated searches, rather than curious individuals. There were patterns, a large number of hits at certain times of the day.

I must have missed that explanation, Rum. I hereby withdraw the offer of a big prize.

I'm not sure I entirely agree with that explanation though as when I (or ticks) are in full flow with written commentary in the cricket thread, as the action hots up so to speak so do the guest numbers...

There wasn't much happening on the Cricket thread on 6th August 2013, that being the day after the third Ashes Test.
