Its 15 minutes before it auto logs you out

I never log out so it probably says I'm always on?

I suspect that despite being logged on: once the system recognises that that member has not been 'active', it may therefore adjust accordingly?

It's interesting the figures but I think people often look in on these sites out of curiosity, to see what people are saying and also to get information on certain topics, such as BB etc.

Oh totally - I agree.

It's the fact that they are not enticed into actually joining / participating - that's the bit that I'm zooming in on.

The site isn't exactly swamped with new members registering - ie: it's been seen as good for 'viewing' only. Is that possibly because of the way the forum is currently, what it covers, how it's covered, etc that it draws in less new members and more lurkers?

I agree with you, I know I looked at this forum and Digital spy last year when BB was on, but then decided to join this one after a week or so.

It does make you think what may be needed to have them take that step to join though and then be able to make comments too.

A lot of the lurkers are googlebots/crawlers.

The rest are people who are googling dirty things

some seem obsessed with looking at who's online. Ive rarely ever looked. Apart from when I saw Vicky desperately trying to beat my Yahtzee record!

OMFG @ Lewis' new record!!! haven't played for months and now I won't even bother..
