Now let's just see some more people join the discussion. Although I'm sure we're digging pretty deep for some people to get on board with right away. These things take time.

I agree Yoda. Yeah, it would be nice to have a few more members, but the data we are uncovering as it is uncovered is the important thing.

Not wanting to burst your bubble, but a lot of them are bots. Admins or even some mods who have access, can click on the Guests & copy/paste the IP. I use whatismyipaddress.com/i.e. one on mine right now says Googlebot, another Amazon.com, another Msnbot. Proboards Support had let others know of this as well as many people posted they had a lot of visitors. You'll find when things are posted on a forum, the 'guests' count will go up as Bots detect the new post & new link. Also, I tested it out too. I opened several threads in new tabs on mine. Lo & behold, my guest count jumped high!

I didn't know that. Interesting. What is the purpose of the bots, if you don't mind me asking. Sorry, for my ignorance. I know nothing about this.

I didn't know that. Interesting. What is the purpose of the bots, if you don't mind me asking. Sorry, for my ignorance. I know nothing about this. I learned this 'cos I'm a forum owner & wanted to know how to maximize members. The Bots help with a forum's SEO- Search Engine Optimization. The more content (more posts) a forum has, the more Bots will come. This is taken from Proboards Support when somebody has their forum be private: "Your forum is currently set to "Guests Must Login" which means that search and index bots cannot do their job on your forum. Therefore your forum (even if searching for its exact name) will be ranked extremely low. You need as much content as possible to be indexed so that you show up for many search terms and words associated with your site, and therefore improving your ranking and visibility on Google and other search engines. ProBoards forums are optimized from the start for SEO, but that optimization is moot if there is nothing that the search bots can index. You can disable Guests Must Login and restrict posting to registered members, as well as setting the forum so you can approve each member that wishes to join, just know that approvals usually slow down and will hamper the speed of your growth unless you are prompt in approving them." That's why, until my forum ever gets bigger, I have not made it private. I need those Bots to help 'spread the proverbial word'. lol

How is it that only randomly does it show increasing numbers? Wouldn't it be about the same all the time?
