Never have I seen so many people at once browsing this forum! Especially not on a tuesday afternoon! 8O

It's good to know the word is getting out!

And on that topic: more and more of the people I talk to seem to be willing to accept Peak Oil as fact. Good news!

I've noticed with all the increased traffic, the "View posts since last visit" fills up rather quickly. Not as useful to see where the active posts are anymore.

I was wondering about that myself. Usually when it's this busy, it's because something's happening in the news. A hurricane is hitting, or oil is hitting a new record high. But nothing's going on today, near as I can tell.

What's going on? Is it Bartlett's presentation? Or have we been slashdotted or something?

Looks like proven reserves of peakniks online have just multiplied several times!!! Most people in my part of the world think I'm still a loon for preaching about Peak Oil though...

I am puzzled. I just looked over in the main discussion forum, and there's only a few people. Why so many here in Current Events?

That ABC News piece got greenlite on Fark.com. 165 posts so far. That can cause a rise in members.

People worldwide are starting to realize that the current events section of PO.com is the premiere source for indepth analysis, biting commentary and realtime information. [smilie=88.gif]

One reason for more views here than the main section is that fewer people have to be convinced PO is real. I really don't think anyone needs to read all of MQ's excellent posts to be convinced anymore. Just follow the current events and just about anyone should be able to figure out that PO is for real. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Hey! that is me!

I first heard about PO about 4 years ago. Then a divorce, a move and other changes in my life caused me to lose sight of it. Ug, then oil and gas skyrocketing caused me to remember it

Coming here feeds both the pessimist and the optimist in me

It is also the only place you can get real news weather and the national
enquirer wrapped up on one site.Maybe we should look into the use of
energy to stage and attend sporting events and as a side note throw
the scores for each one yea the PO sports section. :) :)

There is a total of 3771 registered members, thats heaps but when you look at the profiles it appears maybe 500-1000 members have ever posted. I've lurked awhile since early 2004 until afew months ago I decided to register & join in on the discussions. It's a good site but it needs a upgrade, it takes too long for a page to load or it times out, gets very frustrating.
