Interesting (?) Google/Deja Stat...

During the 3 month period of June, 2001 to August, 2001, the time of D2's
release, Deja records almost 80 THOUSAND posts made to this group. Busy
times. I remember some of us having unread post counts well into five
digits, back then. Scary thing is I think ald went through and read
everything!

Pretty quiet in comparison, now. I guess we've all figured out now that when
your claw viper amulet goes missing, that it's probably around your neck, and
that there really IS a cow level.

big D a hundred times for not giving me my amulet!

D2 came out in 2000, but were you maybe thinking of LoD? Although,
that came out in December 2001 only. Does it mean that D2 had a kind
of peak one year after it's release?

"Gundemarie Scholz" <spamyousilly@inbox.ru> had this idea for a movie:

Well spotted! I just found my notes, and there's some wonky cut and paste at
work. It's in fact the period of June 2000 to August 2000.

In honour of your astute catch, I present you with the daily golden hamster
aware. But be careful, as he likes to nibble on the award winner's toes when
they're sleeping.
