Okay, this is something odd I've noticed in the past couple weeks: The number of signatures in my guestbook keeps fluctuating between 113 and 114. Each time it reaches 114, I look and there's a new entry, but I never notice any entries being deleted when the number drops back down to 113. From this, I've come up with a few different hypotheses about what's happening, but I don't really care enough to do anything with them beyond writing this post; speculation is more fun than actual research.
Ah, the joy of being a slacker.
The first hypothesis is that, for some reason, people are deleting their entries in my guestbook that are from farther back. This would explain why I wouldn't notice missing entries, since I usually only look over the first page of signatures when the number drops to 113. But at the same time, I'm getting new entries every so often, so the number would climb back up to 114.
A variation would be that there's a bug and entries are being deleted automatically by the site. I doubt this, however, as there are many other guestbooks with more entries than mine. And if other people were experiencing the same thing, I imagine it would've been fixed.
Hypothesis number two is that someone has my password and is just trying to screw with my mind. Messing with my guestbook would probably be the best way to do so, seeing as I don't have any easy way of tracking it, and it's not something I would really notice all that much. If this is the case, however, the plan's backfired, seeing as I really don't care about my guestbook. So ha.
And last of all, just because I'm crazy and paranoid like that, the thought occured to me that maybe my guestbook has been possessed. By what or how, who knows, but its goal seems to be to keep me from reaching 115 entries, if that is, by some fluke, what's going on. Maybe it's the spirit of someone who got their myOtaku account deleted for spamming guestbooks, and now they haunt the site's guestbooks, trying to get their revenge in some twisted way.
... So, who's up for a witch hunt?
