The hits were coming in like a storm. The server was practically crawling. I checked the usual suspects. Cool Site of the day? No. Suck? No. Well they must be coming from somewhere.

I ran to Jeff, the patron saint of fray, the guy who runs the server.

"Um, Tox? How do I see who's linking to fray?"

"Just tail the referer log," he answered without looking up.

I went back to my telnet window and stared at it.

"Tail the referer log."

A few stabs, and then I got it.
