Since you normally get logged out after an hour of inactivity, if you don't know the trick of replying in logged out-status to any post and then checking "remember me", before logging in, you soon end up as a "guest". smiley: wink

Yeah, it more stems from the fact that users are logged out after some hours, and I (and many others) don't log in until they have to - to reply to a post, see picture, video, etc.



I'd say most are users, some non-users, and a few bots.

Well, I guess there are a lot of people too, which dont comment, they only read - and don't log in.

This...



On a forum such as this, there are always many hangers-on... they never actually join, or if they do, they don't bother to log-in, so are always guests...

^ This x2. smiley: wink On other forums that I frequent, the "guests" are split between lurkers who are +90% certain to only read the site and never contribute anything to the community, and the remainder are nothing but spambots, webcrawlers, and other automated entities. Except for the ones that dump spam here (:madsmiley: smile, the 'bots are mostly harmless (indexing the site for search engines).



However, it's bothersome to see so many people who regard the forum solely as a resource to be harvested at their convenience, instead of seeing it as a dynamic community to participate in. It's depressing to me at times, but it's reality. [-shrug-] Hopefully our active ranks will increase once the game is much farther along in its development cycle.

Well said, well said. I must admit that I "lurk" one forum too, just because it has anouncements for the game, but the community is so horrible, that I decided not to contribute. So I just read the game-relevant news.

Well, the actual plan is to use utmost inquisitiveness to find that out. No idea what the result will be, as long as I have fun in the process. smiley: stickouttongue
