Guests WTH???

[Kula Meenur]

Heya Feedback, just a query



Why does Hl2.net have a huge amount of guest, while having a relatively small amount of guests online at any one time. For instance, i glanced a few times before this thread and the guest count was around 176 and the members numbered around 22...wth?


is there a reason for this? Do guests frequently view, or is it members who a just having a peek and don't want to post so they don't sign in? Or do people naturally don't want to join our community?

They're probably all people referred from google. I doubt you join every forum you find the answer to a question on.

They're lurkers.

Parasites.

If a bot is looking at the site for whatever reason or if something like Google is reading/caching the site it shows up as a guest.

I'd imagine that this is the same in any popular public forum. Guests (lurkers) will always outnumber registered users.

If I am inactive for even a short period of time, I log out automatically. I think it's my browser. So, anyway, I often just browse as a guest & log into comment.

Those damn guests, stealing our jobs, taking our women :hmph:

Trevelyan, can't you just cleck the "remeber me" box when you log in? If you still get logged out after you activate that option then they're something wrong with your cookies. Check your browser options.
