    Thanks for all the hard work on this site, but what i dont get is this; "How is there 2646 guests?"

    Yeah, I've been trying to sort that one out myself. The number actually went UP after I blocked Guest access permissions to the site.

    I was kicking around that same question tonight. Do guests help with ad revenue? I don't think so. So, how do they improve the experience of this site?

    Is there concern about not having more people coming across the site and injecting 'new blood' into it?

    The site has always been "open" to encourage guests to join.

    Are you going to take the time and effort to sign up for a site when you have no idea what goes on there?

    Could it be everyone's links to pictures and other websites counting as "guests?"

    Poor tracking of bots and visit length = each page spidered by a single bot (like google) often counts as a "unique" guest.

    So if Google checks and indexes 2,000 pages over the last half hour, the site incorrectly reports 2,000 unique visitors.
