So why all the Guests and so little Members???

(1/2) > >>

CVslots:
Just looking at the stats (which I don't frequently do), and seen we have 13 Members online and 31 Guests!!! Why is that ratio not flipped? I realize there is a fine line between Members and Guests, but does it really take that much to get someone to register? But, we have soooooooo much info out there already, I guess many find no need to register or become a member, as the info they need is already out there for them to see? Just doing the math...

CVslots:
See...now it's 12 and 37...wow....

channelmaniac:
We've been inundated with spambots lately. Between them and Google (and other search engines) indexing the site, you'll see quite a few connections.

We try our best to keep the spammers banned and off the forum quickly. :)

There was a post not too long ago too about setting your account as a guest or something like that.  Maybe there are more members on as "guest"?

I have my browser erase cookies and history upon closure, so when I first visit, I show up as a guest too until I log in.  That could be part of the reason too.

No, you can set your account to hide your online status, but I don't think that makes you a guest.

What you mentioned in your second paragraph would make you appear as a guest and then also a member (at least for a short period of time, until the "guest" connection timed out).  As channelmaniac said, any spambot, web crawler, etc. that visits the site gets counted as a guest, even though it's not an actual person.
