It's a "forum", not a chat room.

BTW, It's not a blog either.

never underestimate the amount of lurkers and random visitors from random hits on search engines.

People come far and wide all over the internet to bask in the brilliance of my posts.

Of all the years I did searches for to fix a computer I have never seen Anandtech show up in the search results. It usually was Tom's hardware or some other sites.

For example. Type in bootmgr missing in Google and see what pops up.

Lurkers. Trolls. Bots. Basement-dwellers.

Are they really "people?"

7:30 am on a Saturday morning is probably not the best time to gauge forum activity. That and these guys can be down right ruthless sometimes so that might intimidate some people.

Depends what they have the "viewing" threshold set to. There is no way to know when someone actually leaves a web page (well you could use some kind of js based keep alive but imagine all the tcp traffic that would cause) so typically "active" means hits in the last 15 minutes, more or less.

Often it's bots and stuff too.

Would that be hits from unique users, or total hits? Some of us mash f5 every few minutes, and that would inflate the numbers.

imo about 90% of the guest viewers are just google-bots or other automated scrapers

Somehow this relates to my other imo-fact
90% of all email on the internet is spam

Probably uniques, for logged in users anyway, for guests it probably sets a cookie or goes by IP. At least that's my guess.

I'm happy for less posts, because any increase would only be more MMN-style threads, and thus more rubbish to wade through on the search for forum gold.
