Well, -273 has hit the big time. Our daily page views have more than doubled over the past few days. Sadly, it's not they kind of attention we really wanted. Over the weekend a link to our sticker request form was added to a number of "freebie" type websites, resulting in more than 40 sticker requests since Saturday evening. Since none of these sticker requesters stayed on the site after requesting a sticker (and a good number of them requested stickers under multiple names) I had to temporarily disable the sticker request form. I'm not opposed to sending out all these stickers, but at 37¢ to mail a letter, plus the cost of the envelopes and stickers, this was getting a bit outrageous. But here's what I can't figure out: why would you want a -273 sticker if you've never been to the site before?
