Nice interest level today. Everyone is back from the holidays I see. (527 is the number seen at 08:43 PM GMT today) WOW! I just changed the subject line to the current total! I just changed the subject line again to the total displayed at 10:51 PM GMT!!! 560 @ 03:23 AM, January 6th, GMT!!! 570 at 10:15 PM, January 6th, GMT!!! 582 @ 11:07 PM, January 7th, GMT!!! 590 @ 02:52 AM, January 8th, GMT!!! 602 @ 3:46 AM, January 9th. 609 @ 10:07 PM (GMT), January 21st. This thread started out amazed that we were hitting 527... and in just a few short days, we hit a new record of 602. Amazing. [Edited on 21-1-2004 by SkepticOverlord]

I'm here 'cause I'm addicted.

Seriously though, with all the OT I've been working lately, ATS helps me unwind by giving my brain other things to focus on when I'm not working. And since I work nights, this is the time of day for me to unwind.....

Imagine all of the work that could be accomplished by all of us if we were actually doing our jobs instead of spending all day here!!!

ATS is hurting the economy!!!!!

Just kidding.

Same goes for me, I'm addicted to this site --I have 56+ Conspiracy related web sites in my favorites, THIS site is by far the best out there ---
Awesome Awesome Awesome

I don't know what I did before I found this site. I work as a helpdesk support rep and most of the time I just sit around and surf the net so until I found ATS I just looked at the same ol crap everyday.

Thanks ATS for giving me another way not to do any work.

So Black Jackal you actually get paid while you're on here??

Hehehe.

Who else gets paid while they're on ATS?

I highly recommend a nice holiday away from work & ATS before returning.

Everything seems "fresh" again upon return.

I did... until my employer started taking a much bigger interest in just how much surfing their employees were doing!
Can you believe, they actually take random screenshots of our desktops during the day....supposedly.

edit - meant to say to the interest level...527's gotta be the highest yet?!

Yes I do get paid to just sit here and read ATS. But I do have to occasionally answer the phone.

I'm in the same position than BlackJackal - I'm a HellDesk Geek

It's very cool to watch ATS expand and become a lot more! It's also more better when you are a member!

544!! I thin that's the highest Ive ever seen it.

Thats awesome.

We just hit 553. Not long ago we were wondering if we'd hit 500... now we're looking at 600!!! OMG! [Edited on 5-1-2004 by SkepticOverlord] [Edited on 5-1-2004 by SkepticOverlord]

what's the highest score?

And to think that there would have been one less if I hadn't visited....

I bet the numbers are directly proportional to the bandwidth costs as well.

dang the highest ive ever seen i normally see it hovering around 200 when i notice it but we have over 100 peopel on ats surfing right now

I worked for a tv station beside school for quite a while. Everytime I needed the helpdesk those guys sent me off the line like they are busy. Though I had to do the videotext(tv-text).

Do your job when you need to, please it's really disturbing when the helpdesk doesn't care.
