Compassionately intolerant

Thanks for the reset Liese, and, as I said in an email, please forgive my less response to the auto-responder. I really am having the worst day and popped off inappropriately.

I swear, on any other day I probably would have thought it was funny. But I'm exhausted and have been battered by so many uncaring people today I lost count.

Still, it's not like me to...well, anyway, thank you for your help.

I'm going to bed.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Is there any interest in re-opening the de-lurking thread?

Oh, right, it's October! Got it.

Top 6 referring sites:

  • None 19.986
  • www.buffistas.org 6,846
  • alt.buffistas.net 168
  • tvtropes.org 61
  • www.google.com 58
  • vonniek.livejournal.com 55
  • www.protopage.com 44

TWOP is #11, shriftweb is #13, and whedonesque accounted for 2 hits, and is at #42.

Who is musicwagon.tv, and why does it appear a link here was on their front page? Not much traffic (7), but still.

I should run a version of this which ignores buffistas.org and alt.buffistas.net as referring sites.

3 search engines--google (179), bing (19), yahoo (2).

And now let's see if there are good search terms...

google:

  • kristen stewart fucking faqimages
  • other fans
  • why wasn't another slayer called when buffy died the second time (seriously-EVERY TIME)
  • why is there two slayers (this too...glad if we helped)
  • tweed wearing wrester history buff (I hope they weren't disappointed--unless it was Giles they needed)
  • big block angel sex (I see the parts that come together for this, and it's not pretty)
  • dawn killed miss kitty fantastico (more people care about that cat...)
  • jnmadrigul nilly porn (nuh huh)
  • old spike buffy started (apparently this takes you to the front page?)

bing:

  • what is filk sexual

That's fascinating and hilarious. The search terms in particular.

Your asscaps made me laugh! Ftr, I never ever access b.org from my school computer. On the very rare occurrence that I do have a spare moment, I'd use my phone, which isn't on the school wireless.
