Yeah I noticed that. I looked on the user list and I could tell something was missing but I couldn't tell what :funny: But now I've realised :p

I'm testing some stuff at the moment. It doesn't matter anyways, as most of the guests are search engine spiders indexing the database, going around randomly in different links.

Does this mean this statement on the main page of the forums...

Most users ever online was 559, 12-13-2004 at 4:25pm.

....is really reflective of just many search engine spiders?

Fascinating...the spidering factor seems to be a logical conclusion of the increased amount of guests....

This has been mentioned before, but here it goes again:

Whenever a person does a search on the net using Google, Yahoo!, AllTheWeb, etc. and results with hits pointing to posts in the ShaniaForums - it's because those search engine sites have used a "spider" (application) to index certain character patterns... like on Google: search with "shania petition" - result: 3 hits out of the first 10 point here.

Hard to tell afterwards how many were actual guests & how many were just a search engine... sometimes I've noticed up to 80% of guests being spiders...

I just seen that today........ man thats just too weird. Thats just weird too, specially considering we were talking about seeing what non-members where looking at.

I guess those search engine sites have seen many topics on Shania being searched on the net, so it makes sense for them to index the Forums contents for their clients...
