Topic: Where did all the people come from?

Is it just me or has the number of active users in these forums just trippled over the last few days? Did someone post put up a banner on hotmail.com or what? :D

Fake porn-banners probably ;)

I've noticed this too... alot of topics to read through every time I've been away for a while. Someone said there were a PunBB-link from a hotscripts-mail, might have something to do with it?

Louis: Yeah, but it's been on the first page for quite a while. Maybe it was the e-mail Chachmool is talking about.

Re: Where did all the people come from?

If you ask *me*, it came up through google, when looking for an "open source forum php based software"... not directly but through one of those sites that listed phpBB, vBulletin and others. It stated this one was the fastest... got curious, visited the website and... I loved the colors.

Oh, and then I misread "Powered by punBB"... thought it said "Toward my bunny"...

Re: Where did all the people come from?

Well, I came to Punbb because it was the best choice for a free host, with a limited amount of bandwith. Punbb Rocks!

Do, or do not.
