2,000 members online now?
 

I honestly do not believe that 2,000 people are online right now participating in threads/discussions. i swear that that figure at the bottom of the page is wrong as there would be more action, debates, threads if that was correct? Am I right or have I missed something.

The page lies

only 50 members are online :suspect:
and 135 guests...

Active members means people that have signed in recently, and over time there'll have been 2000 for regular posting members, lurkers, and spambots

There's 184 at present how much "over time" do we need to figure in for 2,000?

Active Members: 2,006 is next to the members signed up list -- it's all a tad confusing

Maybe they are just trying to seem big. There is no shame in saying there are 200 odd members online now - if anything it's good as more people might sign up and participate :)

It's not saying or implying that there is 2000 members online now Lol

so ----------- why have it

Think it means 2000 members have posted in the last x months

I should think not!! :devil:

it is heavily implying it. I thought it so do many others

i think they need to be more specific

'Active' doesn't mean the same thing as online now..

Fortunately there is a way to check who's online right at this moment so not too hard to avoid any confusion

They may well be online, just not on here!

i think that stat should be on the homepage or it looks like there is something to hide :~)

That's like saying "deceased doesn't really mean dead"

Half of them were the social group guy D:

It doesn't say there's 2000+members on right now, it says they are active members meaning they have logged in recently..

48 members and 135 guests online right now.

90% of the guest being searchbots and spambots

Not really, being an active member always just refers to generally still logging in and posting on the site, as opposed to being an inactive member who no longer visits the forum

come on pete, this is very basic stuff

So "Social Guy" accounts for 50% (give or take 90%) of our active membership?

yeah, he's the only thing keeping the forum alive tbh

Yeah alright just because I didn't know and you did

C'mon Pete mate, this is a real rookie mistake

if you hover over the "active members" part it says "in the last 30 days"

god the things i have to do for all you clueless bitches

It was really a question with no need to be attacked by forum members and mods alike

sorry, my clueless bitches comment was aimed at the mods for all their silly guesses and no real answers

Not effing guilty, M'Lud!

It wasn't aimed at you :)

Edit your Heading

No, not at all

No, I clearly got it wrong and this is the impression that I got from the stat
