Posted February 2, 2016 Recently (today) I looked at the online users. More than 75% were labeled as "guests" I don't get the term. Are these people that are lurking, or just our friends from LE making sure we are playing in the limits? Why are there so many of them? If you think about it, it's really kind of messed up! Feed back would be appreciated, thanks in advance. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't need to be a member to view the forum, just to post;) We'd love to see more Guests participate!:) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2016 I think many of the "guests" are actually members who have not logged in. I know sometimes when I am running short on time and just stop by this website briefly looking for shits and giggles I don't always log in. Of course there are legitimate "guests". 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just love how many "pieces of contact" I get from people who simply "aren't a member " yet still want my address, my craziest story to get them all riled up, and for me to be ready in less time than their trip over here would take. Aren't guests great? I wish I were so ballsy. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 2, 2016 Are you guys missing the point I was trying to make? Those "guests", many of them I think are us. Not to say they're aren't any "real" guests. Because I am sure there are plenty. Just some of us are short on time, or are just too lazy at that moment to log in. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2016 I am guilty of that as well Jez, and I think you are probably making an accurate assumption. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have many clients who tell me that they do not participate on this form they only read it. For the simple fact everything you do on the Internet is traceable even if you block your IP address. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see guest posts all the time. I'll even take a screenshot if you'd like to see it for yourself. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "guests" that show up as viewing the forum are visiting the site, but not logged on or don't have an account. The posts that appear to be from guests were once made by people who had an account, but for some reason asked for it to be eliminated. If, in the future , I have asked for my account to be deleted, and you revisit this post, it will show that it was posted by "guest," rather than "Laplace_whose_still_beating_heart_was_eaten_in_front_of_him." 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spank you for the clarification. I was starting to wonder. I tried to change my name to guest...didn't work 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I was a member going back to 2007, if memory serves. Dropped out for awhile and then came browsing to find the whole site gone. Inquired of P411 if they knew the where abouts of the boards, and the link they provided brought me here. Have to browse around for awhile to discover where the Escort Photos, Ads, and Reviews are. And to see who is still here! Edited February 4, 2016 by Rex Block 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
