• 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....

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,

yes - I had considered that might also account for an unknown percentage...I wonder if it is unquantifiable...

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.

peanutbutter??...well i like both,but i cant have smooth because father doesnt like it,and he wont even buy it for me out here as a snack..(i pay "rent"..but its actually my food money share)....

back to log in,,im logged it auto all the time,,or the "remember me" box is checked,only time its not is when i do a system clean with CCleaner,or this thing wont boot...speaking of..my pc is new,will run FSX wonderfully,BUT ive had to re-install three times now,the OS has been re-installed the three times.

would it be true,that if my Ibuypower keyboard and mouse were plugged into the blue 3.0 ports on top of my pc,or even my external HD,which was first used to back up flight sim files under the XP OS,then Vista and now win 8.1..in the top mounted blue 3.0 ports,would that cause my pc to try to "boot to those peripherals"? so said the nice guy i talked to at ibuypower,its seems to me to be true as i tried it again after i got off the phone with the guy,i rebooted,it started fine,then i shut it down,plugged the KB/mouse into the two blue 3.0's and poof,it wouldnt start.hard shut down,unplug/plug into rear black,and normal start up,why?
 
I make an effort to stay logged in but I have enough devices it can be confusing. One or two of them don't get used much and the cookies get lost.

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..?

Could all those guests be Steam'ers?

Logged in all the time. (takes forever to log back in if it resets or whatever)
Smooth. Much like how you called people "Steam'ers" and no one else has laughed at that (it seems).

I would call people steamers all the time if I could. Nicely done. (I am an old school FS2/9/X guy, but I have steam too, so don't hate)

well in the whole grand configuration of things...it doesn't I s'pose - I just thought that if many of those guests were actual folks who were no already registered, they might consider registering if we talked about them all openly and finger pointy and a whatnot.



BtW : I am also a Steam'er BrittMac lol


the words you have seen here today were intended for entertainment purposes only and contained no real meaning. No vowels or consonants were harmed even as the english language itself was brutally murdered..carry on then
 
Smooooooooooooooooooth only.

Anything else is an abomination. :)

Oh, and I stay logged in. I'm lazy and I hate logging in/out. However, if / when I browse on one of my mobile devices, I'm too lazy to log in...

I'm also a Steam'er, but not for FSX at this point. That said, this darn sale that just launched is going to make me very, very poor. Almost everything in my wishlist is 33 - 50% off right now...
