    Default Damn Lurkers

    900+ people viewing the forum right now- are there even 900 people registered? Seriously kids stop being so damn lazy and become a fellow post whore.

    Yours Truly,
    Internerd Jackass

    Funny, each time I log in the number of people apparently viewing the BlueBlood Boards is between 4500 and 4600 and the BlueBlood Erotica between 550 and 600. And I do mean every time ...

    Go to the top of this page and click on the BlueBlood Boards on the left hand side. There you'll see the three forums listed with a figure which claims to be the number of people viewing each forum at the time.

    Personally I find it a tad hard to swallow (the 4500 I mean).

    And this matters why? I'm sure lots of people stop by this site and have not registered for the boards yet. I think that is normal. Big deal.

    It doesn't matter at all, but, hey, we're just chatting amongst ourselves.

    Who knows, perhaps our little chats really are the talk of the web.

    I think those are non-trackable guests that have looked at the forum in the last X-amount of time. From looking at the numbers, my guess is that it knows when a member has come back, but may not set cookies or whatever to track every non-member. But, forums like this do get a lot of lurking.

    It's kind of interesting to contemplate. I mean, when you have a conversation with your friends at a bar or a party or something, you usually get pissed off if someone is hanging around listening in on you. Imagine a huge crowd of 900 people all huddled around you listening to what you have to say. Hmmm...weird!

    Agreed, I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing. I just find it interesting to imagine these "internet" type experiences in real life!

    (and I have a slight social fear thing going on, don't like to many people hanging around me because that's more people for me to embarass myself in front of)

    self confidence rules!!!

    And assholes...

    But I agree. I say what I say, do what I do, whatever, according to what I have learnt and believe in, regardless of numbers.

    There's a good story relating to the birth of democracy from the cradle of the whole business in Ancient Athens (which I'm probably doing violence to as I can't recall the specifics). A bright guy gives his speech and gets a resounding round of applause from the mob. He just turns round and says 'I must have got that wrong'.

    Not entirely sure how that's relevant, but it felt that way (after half a bottle of Calvados...).

    At first glance I thought this site was total elitist 'clique' ettiquette.
    I'd browse the photogalleries ect ect, but I didn't end up joining until I saw a WH40k post by BrightStar. Then my opinion totally changed.
    Theres all kinds here. It's awesome.

    You're not the only one....... I actually get sick if I'm around a lot of people, it's something I got from my dad I think.

    I always lurk a few days before I join someplace -- just to see how much I like the place.
