I wonder if someone has estimated the percentage that the faucet gave out that never moved afterwards.

I read that there was a Spanish IP that drained it in the early days, so they had to add more access controls and lower the amount.
Also that Satoshi commented positively about that faucet at bitcointalk when it came out.
Here's the original thread at Bitcointalk: Get 5 free bitcoins from freebitcoins.appspot.com
Note also that a bug bounty then was 50 BTC :)

I remember reading that comment from Satoshi when it happened. Never heard about the Spanish drainer, but will look into it.
