One last thing before I randomly leave for an undetermined amount of time again. Has anyone ever noticed that we always seem to have a handful of guests? There always seems to be one or two around, but when I looked a second ago I saw 8. Do a lot of you hide your online status, or do we just have a bunch of lurkers?
Could be lurkers. Or bots. More likely the latter.
Astro> gforce's smiles can cure cancer in kittensgforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

I think the bots just try to harvest people's email addresses and then attempt to send them spam based on their keywords.

This is probably the right answer.Or indexing for search engines perhaps?I hadn't considered bots.... Though I fail to understand why one would want one for a forum. Besides flaming or a crap load of alts.

yeah, some boards are coded to list "Google.com" and "Yahoo.com" and stuff like that. interestingly enough, on another board there was a member that had his username changed to Google.com
but, occasionally the guests are banned members like Fritz that still read the forums anyway

Well put doog. You never posted anything offensive whatsoever
we know she'll be back, like a good bitch should.
The majority of them are bots (googlebot, yahoo, searchme.com) along with a couple of (probably) human users.
