Ghosts!

Post by Scott of Hyperborea »

The counter at the bottom of the board says that 8000 people have been online since yesterday, and 40 something people are online now. It's pretty obvious there are no more than five or ten flesh-and-blood people on here, and maybe a few more lurkers or random visitors.

What's going on? Are we being haunted or something?

For some reason most micronational forums I go on these days seem to have extremely high amounts of guests. In fact, in the USSC, there's almost constantly one or two guests looking at the General Board. I would be most interested to find out the cause.

All people who aren't logged in will count as guest(every time if you come at the board, a new guest).
From a distance I'm concerned about the rampant lawyerism manifesting itself in Shireroth currently. A simple Kaiserial slap on the wrist or censure by the community should suffice. - Jacobus Loki

I think the odd thing is that alot of Shirerithians automatically log in, I assume. I do, anyway. So I'm not generating any guests.

But that doesn't explain why every 5 minutes or however often that bar updates there's like 50 guests.

At least used to be that many actualy would not log in and would just lurk around in the shadows. I always log on but that's just me.

As for ghosts ya I brought some with me being quasi undead and all but not that many....

These ghosts have been dispelled by Ardashir I believe; there's only room enough for one undead presence on this forum. :P

At one point of another we've had a number of legit undead presences...
