                            I can't see who they're from, however. I'm

                            <br class="">
                            Given that my grid has a region that's a
                            popular HG hub, and that many people have
                            taken copies of the gate I have out, that's
                            configured to bring them to my grid, I
                            imagine that some of what I'm seeing are
                            those gates checking to see that my grid is
                            up. However, I think the majority of it (in
                            addition to the ~80 gates to other grids) is
                            likely to be the "roller-coaster" I have set
                            up in that region ... I have 100 Blamgates,
                            laying horizontally, up in the sky. There is
                            a gate on the ground, that rezzes you just
                            above the first of them, and you fall into
                            it. Then it sends you to just above the next
                            one, and so on, until you get to the last
                            gate which puts you back where you started.
                            It's quite a wild ride that lasts for about
                            a minute. :) Anyway, all of them are of the
                            "check the destination" type of gate, so I
                            imagine I'm doing most of it to myself. :)
                            Oh, if you ever want to try the
                            roller-coaster, look for the gate labelled
                            "101", in Eld2. :)<br class="">
