I saw that starting last night too, Carol. I've seen it happen before with other threads, and wondered about some type of bot activity.

I'm not aware of any way to stop them other than deleting the thread.

I wonder if the activity last night and this morning on this particular thread has anything to do with the fact that CNN has a front-page story up about the place being ordered to cover up or close down?

And it looks like Espresso is still goin' wild on our forum stats!
Yup, just did a Google search for espresso gone wild. Our forum thread on the topic is the first thing that comes up on a Google search!
Hope some of these folks are pet lovers...

I just put a public service announcement in the first post of that thread. Just had to make some use of the traffic increase.

I keep wanting to post some sort of scrolling banner that says "Safe Pet Food Now!", or some such thing, on that thread, just to take advantage of all that traffic.

And I vote for a scrolling "Safe pet food now" too.
