We started around midnight and it just kept picking up steam as the night rolled on and the dawn rolled in. We told them they had to be out by 6:45 so the kitchen crew could clean up before breakfast.
Actually, it seems a number of our users have adware (better known as spyware) installed on their PCs. In the dead of the night, when the computer is on but doing nothing, this software goes out and visits the sites in your history file and creates an index of those sites. It then sends this index back to the creator of the adware (known as "phoning home") to be used in directing specific marketing material (better known as spam) back to you.
I would suggest installing some software to remove and keep off this type of software off your PCs. Anti-virus software plus a decent adware removal program. I've used Ad-Aware and seems to work fairly well. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

It was standing room only.

Sorry you missed it.
Maybe next year we'll do it again.
