Everyone click on one of those ads

The thing that confuses me is the placement of Germany in the contry lists for main site and message boards.  They're number two for the main site, but barely on the list for the message boards.

Weird.

I've been helping the creators of MaLa FE based in Germany a little and in doing so have discovered there are heavily used German Mame Forums (in German).

I guess they just all come over to check out what new Projects have been posted at BYOAC, but even though most speak English prefer to discuss it in their native tongue on there own countries Forum sites.

That would be my guess anyway.

If I remember right the time spent online was reset last year when the board did some changes so that means Bones spent 1/6 of last year of his life on BYOAC.............
