• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

number of members vs guests on this site....

heywooood

Mayor Emeritus of Taco City
14 members.... and 62 guests just now

I presume some of those guests are actually members who are browsing without logging in but...

how many people: Log in every time they come here..? (I probably log in 1/3 of the time)
how many people: Never Log Out...?
how many people: Prefer Crunchy Peanut butter to the Smooooth..?

If you find yourself guesting all the time but haven't registered yet....whatsamattayou? not that there's anything wrong with it...
sorry if this question is in the wrong place...I just thought that was a wide big margin

Could all those guests be Steam'ers?
 
I never logout.

I have 6 'default' tabs that autoload 'if' I ever reboot..... SOH is one of 'em...;)
 
huh..and here I thought I was somewhere in the average...logging in generally but not always.

for this reason I am often late to be aware of any PM's I get - maybe I should stay logged in too -

but now that 'guest' number begins to look a little more interesting...

All I will say then to any potential member of this site is that you gain access to the venerable library of add on aircraft, scenery, ships etc...some of which you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere, if you do decide to register...

and who knows, maybe someday you could see your moniker all dressed in red letters - like the cool kids lol
 
Same with me, auto logged in all the time.


The number of guests also could countain accesses from crawling scripts / bots / reference checkers from search engines or whatever, so this number does not neccessarily reflect a site usage by real persons.

Cheers,

I'm only auto logged in on my desktop computer. So whenever I visit the site with my iPhone or iPad I'm just a guest.

Greetings

Permanently logged in - except when I have an enforced reboot and/or occasionally clear out of the cache.
 
My home computer stays logged in. The only time I show up here as a guest is if I am on another computer or something happened and my log in cookies were deleted.
 
Members vs guests

Let's see, in order:

Login on bootup

Stay logged in until shut-down

Both

'Never' shut-down. [most recent uptime...19 days 8 hours 35 minutes] ...;)
 
If I'm on my notebook, I'm logged in. If I'm on my desktop, or following a link from another site/thread/Google then I may well not be as they don't always follow the auto-login details unfortunately. That's something else to think of.

Can't eat peanut butter. I'd rather have a wife not having a violent allergic reaction to it.
