@MyWoolyMastadon It was so long ago the specifics are lost in the midst of time, but we made a LOT of nonsense online playthings & I think it was mainly idle curiosity about how best to do it & whether any of them would 'work' in a human sense (answer - sometimes, in part).

We used to play with getting top spots on Google back then too, did a few newsworthy Googlebombs, & I think we had half a mind that it would be 'sticky' for anything automated.
