Title: Guests sign up
Post by: nosey-p on February 02, 2012, 13:09:42 PM: At 1.00pm today we had 70 guests viewing, why don't they sign up?

Some who get past the sign up process will post spam, which the mods delete/save to private folder as appropriate

Busy day for views, 249 guests and 46 users.

Plus I"m not entirely sure that the number of guest relates to individual "users".

On looking through the list I see "Guest" checking out pages fro 2008 / 2009 for 14 seconds.

My guess is that bots/spiders are counted each time they view a page.

So, one bot/spider viewing 10 pages = 10 guests.

Hey...I resemble that remark...no doubt you are investigating the "anomaly".

I"m still waiting on Kinboshi to start random posting so that I don"t overtake him.
