Guest board viewers!!

[Sean Pa]

I tend to browse this board at different times to the most of you for obvious reasons.
every time, I 1st log on there are always huge ammount of Guest viewers,who never post.
This morning for example there was Myself and upwards of 6 guests, who never ever post.
Do you think there is any truth to the NSA snooping stories and are they picking up any KEY words in Travelinmans posts [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
or are they just sleepless Americans

Well, there are me and four guests at the moment.

I am totally baffled by the numbers of people who apparently lurk here and never post.

Especially when you go to the who is viewing what feature (suck on it, you guests, you can't go there unless you are logged in) and you see what they are reading. Often very, very old threads about nothing very interesting.

It does seem as if we have a large contigent of visitors to this here board.

(is this where I do the I told you so dance LOL! [img]wink.gif[/img] )
It's just the same as any of us visiting any other site or another board. Aint no thang!

My advice, dont post anything that you wouldnt want others to read.

They're googlebot spiders. Weird sounding but basically they're small programs that "crawl" through bulletin boards that help google index their search databases.

If you do a whois lookup on the IP addy's, they all go to google.

Sorry...we're not that popular! [img]smile.gif[/img]
