I happened to notice this on the index page:

Most Online Ever: 1433 (November 05, 2019, 02:23:48 AM)

Anyone know why that is? For most of the forum's existence this statistic has been on the night of the Oscars in 2006! What was going on last Tuesday?!

That would be the morning before the election, I can't imagine there was anything then to get such attention. Maybe an errant bot farm?

Most of them not too positively, unless it's Russia or Ukraine.

So......Prince Andrew has been forced to step down from all Royal duties.
He's been kicked off most of the charities he "backed".

He will still be paid thousands from " The Royal Purse"....but for what ??

If I lost my job......I'd get nothing.

I don't know the details...is this something to do with an association with Epstein? And didn't there used to be rumors about Andrew being gay?

I don't recall any rumors about Prince Andrew being gay. 

As for him stepping down from his royal duties, there is a woman who said that Epstein arranged for her to have sex with Andrew when she was a minor.   Andrew gave a recent interview that has become a PR nightmare for the royal family.  He basically denied all allegations, but went on to say that he didn't regret being friends with Epstein.   When he was asked if he had sex with the 17 year-old girl, he replied no, and said he would have remembered that because for a man, sex is a positive thing.

I have no idea how true they are, but here are now stories that Andrew's office has been moved out of Buckingham Palace.

As I recall, there were lots of rumors about Prince Edward back around that time, but not Prince Andrew.
