Weird Things At 3 AM

I usually stay up pretty late online...Two or 3 AM ain't nothin for me. Lately I have been noticing some strange stuff going on around 3 AM. Like all of a sudden a Thread will develop and get 30 or 40 hits right away. Some times I respond and sometimes I just watch. Invariably after I go to sleep and come back later to check on how the Thread developd it is gone. I just wonderin if Wayne or the Mods have been deleting Threads? These seem innocuous enough

I know. All I feel like doing is sitting around and saying "Warren can't be dead" over and over again too. I still can't say that he's gone.

Maybe U Boyz have been hacked for all I know? All I know is these guyz show up and they chat back and forth for awhile. Sometimes they talk about internet businesses, sometime about computers and software and sometimes just about how people are. Sometimes I just lurk and sometimes I comment. They always have seemed polite if a bit standoffish. Oh well just thought I'd mention it..to see if anyone else has noticed?

You have just come to that conclusion? My Shrink friend always said that I was a very sick indivdual and that I should keep the Meds up to keep the halucinations of Mother under control. Her shrieking voice in my head is enough to keep me up all night. But this was something completely different, if given the time I can geometrically prove that these events occured. If I could only find that key that would unlock the mystery. God I feel like some Strawberrys right now, but alas they are all gone.

There is this thing called "time zones". And "intranets" sorta span across them. It's maybe hard to believe, but there are people living outside LV time zone.

tabs, did you do a lot of hanging out with these two at any point?

Could explain the, um, strange threads that only you seem to be able to see...
