#278228 - 25/03/2006 14:32 What are you afraid of???
Ladmo addict Registered: 04/09/2004 Posts: 524 Loc: Oklahoma	Everytime I get on the board here, I notice that there are more anoym. users than users that are identified. Right now, there are no reg users except for myself but 40 'hiding' users. Man! I did not know that everyone was so damn important that they were afriad to be identified... and I don't think that there are always 40 non registered users checking out the board! What is everyone's trip with hiding? What is it that I do not understand?

It's hardly a feature to be able to see who's reading a web page at any particular moment. --Nathan

drakino carpal tunnel Registered: 08/06/1999 Posts: 7868	That is not people hiding. That is people who are reading without being logged in. In most cases they are spiders from Google, Yahoo or others indexing the site. They use a ton of different hosts to do it, and right now it looks like it is two different bots scanning. I can tell from their pretty close IP ranges. I'm beginning to think this needs to go into the board FAQ, it seems to come up every 6 months or so.

lectric pooh-bah Registered: 20/01/2002 Posts: 2085 Loc: New Orleans, LA	I like the feature when I post a question. It's nice to see if/when people are reading it. It's even nicer to see that they are responding right after they read it. That means if I hang on a few more minutes, I may have an answer.

lectric pooh-bah Registered: 20/01/2002 Posts: 2085 Loc: New Orleans, LA	Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, if they were "hidden" identities, they simply wouldn't show up. Not even as anonymous.

FireFox31 pooh-bah Registered: 19/09/2002 Posts: 2494 Loc: East Coast, USA	ask'd But were it the thread that I expected, I'd say: I'm afraid of surprise. "Scary movies" nearly give me multiple heart attacks. If you jump out from behind a corner to scare me, I'll hit you so fast you'll never see it coming; simply by reflex. _________________________ - FireFox31 110gig MKIIa (30+80), Eutronix lights, 32 meg stacked RAM, Filener orange gel lens, Greenlights Lit Buttons green set
