Wow!  That's great!!  

   Grex had 266 new accounts created yesterday, a new all-time high.
This is the equivelant of the first 75 days of Grex's existence, in
terms of new accounts created.   Amazing...

Geez, *I* almost considered making an account.  What's the rough average
number of new accounts created daily, and how many are deleted?

        Yes, It would be interesting to know the number of 'use once'
accounts.  Or  those used less than a week beyond creation before they
meet the great account reaper.
        How do they do it.  Itried to get someone thru newuser, and
seemed the equivalant of bambo shoots under the fingernails.

I just created a new item "questions about Grex" to talk about
this stuff.  This is the announcements item.

if anyone is in a rewriting mood --mic-- can we add a simple command to gather
and display the output of the picospan "check" command from a login shell
without actually running picospan?

        No new items in the auction for nearly eight weeks now.

and I still haven't received my item, what gives?

I sent out toking's item today.

yippie! and I did forget about postage...how much do I owe ya?

It cost $2.31 to send the game parcel post.

finger richard@cyberspace.org    will tell you that without your logging in.
Assuming you have a finger client available wherever you are.

        But, please don't bot-run it every 30 seconds.

   This morning Grex had its 150,000th account created.

That's, um, impressive.

        Gee, had we known it was coming up we would have been creating accounts
to get the magic number, just in case we could end up with a new car.

I wanted to win.  :P

Nominations are open now through November 15 for the Grex Board of
Directors. See Coop Item 38 (item:coop,38) for details.

I called Ameritech today and had them drop the last two lines in our trunk
hunt, per the board's vote last Wednesday.  Starting Friday we will be
down to 11 dialin lines from 13.  This will save Grex approximately
$39/month, and if recent statistics on usage are correct, not create many
busy signals at all.  See coop for the full discussion of this issue.

Thanks, Mark.

Dammit how does this work ? I'm too stupid to figure this out.

Doesn't look that way....

Welcome to Grex, Shivi!  It really does get easier...  ;)

I joined the queue this morning as #95.

I got busy signals from 8;20 to 8:30 last night, Sunday eve must be one of
those times when the two extra lines actually got some use.

   Grex had a problem in the passwd database weds night; it was
fixed but Grex didn't allow logins from about 22:50 to 23:08
because of this.  Apologies to all who waded through the telnet
queue only to find that you couldn't get on.

That was an awfully fast fix!  Nice!

Re. 37:  Any idea on what happened Tuesday morning?  Everytime I tried to
telnet in I kept getting refused connections.
